Despite the desert conditions throughout the region, many historians believe that Mekti was responsible for the introduction of the Daoine to Domhain Byd. There is evidence through old legends and artifacts that these first settlers came from the North, fleeing the monsterous beasts of legend. They travelled in every direction: east to settle in what would become Jallen, south toward Adunato and Aitbheth, and west to Eretath, all hoping to escape the arid conditions of the first land they encountered. But some of these travellers found a basin, green and lush and fertile. Countless streams ran down the mountainside as snows melted in the high elevations, bringing fresh cool water and enriching the soil. These lucky few had found paradise and settled there, founding the kingdom of Mekti.
