History
Origin
Dormantown was founded in 1182 by Fres Dorman. Dorman's expedition came to a halt in this area as the land for miles around was deemed extremely fertile.
Early Years
Dormantown grew quickly in its beginning years as the central trading point for the many farmers in the area. In 1199, the entire area came under heavy raiding by the Bloodskin Clan. Many of the farms were razed and Dormantown itself came under attack numerous times, prompting the building of the town's wall. This is when the elves of the Elvareen Woods became friends of the human farmers, as both groups were able to ally and drive back the orcs.
