Introduction

Before even the modern age of seafaring, the island nation of Edermayer was known by many. In more recent years, the island has become a safe haven for reputable outlaws of all types. Known colloquially as "the Pirate Island", the locals might disagree with the assessment that all who come here are on the run from the law, but even they won't refute that this island welcomes all with open arms. Provided, of course, that you aren't here to stir up trouble.

Edermayer has a long history, much of which is lost to time at this point. What texts remain however, paint the story of a nation at the center of political struggles, embroiled in campaigns of war, and leading the modern age into a new era of connectedness. I've spent the last several decades of my life on the island, primarily serving as a librarian, but all the while cataloguing historical texts, and accounts from locals who have been around for many generations. Through my research, I've assembled the most complete history of the island to date, and one which I hope will prove useful to our future.
