Southmire was a modest town home to some Deurlen, Lyverian, and Alenthylians settlers. Living along the marshes, the town was self-sufficient, dealing in agriculture and lumber. The town existed for at least 100 years before the establishment of the Kingdom of Novania. In the late 1170s, citizens slowly began to disappear from the town. It was not until the year 1181 that the mayor, Earl, called for assistance from the Kingdom of Novania. Volunteers flocked to the town to assist in finding these citizens, or, as was discovered, what happened to these citizens.
