Initially established in (DATE), South Haven served as a save haven for a small werewolf population fleeing political persecution after their departure from the Wolfridge Brewery, near New Masselburg. As part of an agreement with the Countess of Southern Grove (Kestrel or Madelyn?), South Haven was made into a barony and its owner, Maighdin Albre, was named its Baron. This evoked controversy between the Albres and the crown, and the barony of South Haven was never formally recognized by Sarethi dynasty in Novania. In the years following, the population of South Haven would eventually abandon Novania entirely, leaving the island forgotten in ruin for many years.
