# Location: Eestmor > [!map] View on Map > [Open Interactive Map →](https://hawksrepos.github.io/elvensong-map/?location=Eestmor) An offshore island that served as the first foothold for the Marris colonizers who would establish [[Region - The Discovery Coast]]. ## Overview When Prince Alric departed the **Kingdom of Marris** (the ancient predecessor to **Scavania** on [[Continent - Edaria]]) with his vast contingent of soldiers and colonizers, Eestmor was their first landing point in [[Continent - Auken]]. The island served as a **staging ground** before the colonizers crossed to the mainland to construct [[Location - Alric's Keep]]. This strategic approach allowed them to establish a secure base before attempting the more dangerous mainland colonization. ## Historical Significance Eestmor represents the very first territory claimed by the Marris expansion in Auken, making it a site of profound historical importance to the Discovery Coast. It marks the beginning of human migration from [[Continent - Edaria]] to this part of the world. ## Current Status The island's current state is not fully documented, but its historical significance likely means it holds: - Ancient fortifications from the original landing - Monuments or shrines to the founding - Possible strategic military value ## Connections - First colonial territory before [[Location - Alric's Keep]] - Part of [[Region - The Discovery Coast]] - Historical link to the **Kingdom of Marris** / **Scavania** on [[Continent - Edaria]] ## Story Hooks > [!note] Potential Plot Threads > - **Ancient ruins**: What remains from the original colonization? > - **Historical evidence**: Could documents here prove one Alric's claim over another? > - **Strategic value**: In a civil war, controlling this island could matter
