Camnaril of Venáil was the first elf to spot land after The Great Wander, spotting what was known as “firstsight”, later Venáil, many elves doubted Camnaril’s claims and so they did not make landfall, sailing instead on to Anbenncóst. After the War of the Sorcerer-King Camnaril, otherwise known for his passivity and calm manner, insisted on receiving the “isle of firstsight” claiming it to be his destiny. After some confusion the isle was established to be an isle off the coast of Sorncóst, owned nominally by the King of Sorncóst but largely uninhabited.
The King of Sorncost offered Camnaril’s the island in exchange for fealty, an offer Camnaril accepted.
