A history of Vestnor

I was an orphan, a street urchin like so many in the big cities. I managed to get some work as a deck hand on one of the ships in the harbour. I worked hard and managed to work my way up through the ranks till i made first mate at the age of 20 and captain some years later. At the age of 28 i had amased a small fortune by scrimping and saving and using my feel for the market to get great returns. It was then that a great opportunity presented itself, the owner of the trading company wished to retire. I took out some loans and combined with my savings bought him out. The first few years were tough, very tough. The company had been run poorly and as well as my own debts i had to worry about the trading companies outstanding debts. My fleet originally contained 4 vessels but alas one met an ill fate. I was captaining the ship when it was attacked by pirates. We faught them but they proved too much. My crew was captured, no doubt to be put into slavery, i who had been grivously wounded in the fight was left for dead and the ship set alight. I managed to drag myself into the ocean and onto some wreckage and lay there adrift for several days. It was then in the searing heat of the sun that i became exalted. I floated there for several days marveling at creation as i had never seen it before and was eventually washed up on the shores of the inner sea from wence i made my way back to Kirigast and my destiny!
