  Story Background:
  
  The most prominent eyewitnesses to The Emergence, as it's become called, were the fishermen of Minksprint Hollow, a small village in Zhanniqua's southwest province.
  
   "There was no warnin',"  one boy recounted.  "One second we was skimmin' rocks along the water, lookin' out at water far as t'eye can see, an' then... suddenly we's seein' land. It were  jus' there ." 
  
  Those out at sea hauling nets likewise reported the same - a gigantic landmass less than fifty miles off the coast of the village, coming spontaneously into existence.
  
   "We had a great haul that day,"  one of them admitted.  "Seems as whatever fish was in the way of where the land was comin', they just sorta... shifted away from it. Some of 'em just flat-out appeared in the middle of our boats." 
  
  The Crown's response was skeptical at first, and then ominous, as two companies of soldiers were diverted to repel a possible invasion from the new land. But as weeks became months and no invasion occurred, it seemed time to turn thoughts towards the opportunity that this new land represented. To that end, a six ship fleet loaded with supplies, filled with those eager to claim a piece of the new territory, has been assembled by the Crown with the purpose of creating a new coastal town, Emergence Port, on the new land.
  
  But while the bulk of the fleet and it's resources are dedicated to putting down roots in one spot, there remains the possible untold dangers and unanswered questions of the landmass. Is it just an island, or a true new continent? Does it already have animals, or a population? Are they friend or foe? A small expedition, led by reknowned dwarven archaeologist Sedgwin Mayfair, has been commissioned to answer these questions, and you are one of the handpicked mercenaries he has recruited to help him and his team.
