Thromshana is a town located north of Arverynn, at the main intersection of the Ynn River.
Origin and Name[]
Thromshana originates as a trading post for canoes and barges travelling between Sarda and Dolindha built in 270 after Ash. Initially it was nothing more than a single warehouse to offer storage and shelter built on top of a tree.
The tree the trading post was built on survives to this day and it is located at the center of Thromshana's market square. This is said to be the reason the Sarda word for tree (trom) and market (throm) are so similar.
Thromshana was peacefully incorporated into the nearby Vels Bacar in 328 AA. It was conquered by King Jeborad of Vareynn after 572 AA, once Vels Bacar capitulated.
Trom Throm Ranch[]
In 576 AA, the first Antler Horse ranch in the Sarda region was created in the plain southeast of Thromshana. It was named Trom Throm Panas, or Trom Throm Ranch to Cannorians.
Over time a lighter breed of antler horse was developed there. The breed, and its riders, became predominantly known for racing and delivering mail, and in wartime they performed logistical support or fought as mounted lighty infantry; they were known as Trom Trotters.
Dark Ages of the Ynn[]
After the collapse of the Ynnic Empire, Thromshana remained a subject of Arverynn during the Age of Petty Lords and afterwards with the restoration of the Vyrekynn dynasty, albeit it enjoyed greater autonomy than it did during the Ynnic Empire: the town-republic, in the eyes of many historians, figured as a Iosahar-type vassal until the Vyrekynn dynasty met its first success at centralizing their realm.
