Founded Year 2 of the Age of Man on the newly-discovered Rochelle Island, east-of-south-east of Gregoria. This bustling town sits at the center of one of the larger shipping lanes on the Prime Material, with naval and airship trade going to and from Gregoria and the metropoles of the southern Free Wastes, bringing wealth, technology, and travelers, to a once-quiet island town. Islanders unused to the rapidly encouraged growth of mercantilism and commerce under Grandian rule grumble at the rate of change, while opportunists and merchants born both on the island and across the empire take advantage of the wealth to be made through the lucrative trade-routes.
