The history of The Riverdans is rich and deep, stretching back to the fallen east. The history of the Riverdans is directly tied to the History of the Grand Duchy of Dunstrand.
Defining Moment: All of the Riverdans were devastated when, in CY 7950-7986, the Nanford River changed course during the Storm Times and Dwindor Swamp became a living thing itself and gained the appellation of “Mighty Dwindor”.

Ancient Settling: CY 2364 – Several rulers of “Eastern Blood” from the Fallen East send some of their family far from the war being lost against the Orrish. Calorn Forthright was chartered by the King of Gladnor to settle the “headlands of Dunstrand Vale” initially – where the Nanford River flows west. Calorn takes these knights and families with him, they are engaged to settle some lands in the T’Yendi Hills and plains bordering it. This enclave is called the Leslean Plains (later the County of Leslea). They have control of the northern fork of the headwaters of the Nanford River of the T’Yendi Hills and the northern reach going west called the Broken Feather Hills. They are the anchor that secures the northern border along the Beyne River against Pine Tribes and expanding Merchant River Culture that would be subsumed by the Sea-Kings. Opposite them at this time in the Valewall Hills is the Forthright family securing the southern fork of the Nanford Headwaters.
