An Outpost was established in the region now known as the Julnoor Province with hopes of contacting the long-lost Jolvis. This Outpost was named '''[[Thornheim]]''' by its Dwarven adventurers, and it was here where Chapter Two began in earnest.
== History ==
Many years ago, the Human small city of Genhoven sought to elevate itself to higher status in the world. Situated on the edge of the snowy mountain range known to most as The Thorn, Genhoven held little of note when compared to the great metropolises of the world.
This changed when the Council of Genhoven was approached by Jolvis Volt, a Human genius whose work with redstone was far beyond what any other could accomplish. His creations bordered on magical to those unable to comprehend his highly advanced redstoneering. Many nations sought his assistance with various things, but, for some reason, it was Genhoven that the great Jolvis set his sights towards. He declared he would work with the city's council to convert the entire city from coal to redstone and usher in a new age of technology.
Work began quickly, with Jolvis, his apprentice Beyle, and his team of redstoneers nearly emptying Genhoven's coffers to purchase the necessary materials. Unfortunately, the renovation would run into immediate troubles. Many of the warehouses that the materials were stored in were found to be insecure after much of the stock was found rusted, rotten, or otherwise spoiled. Soon, equipment began to go missing and deadlines failed to be met. Whispers of sabotage came from the redstoneering team, and the townsfolk began to become wary of their supposed visitors.
Tensions came to a head when several fires broke out in the materials warehouses and destroyed much of Genhoven. The city's residents called for justice, and mobs soon began to destroy what remained of the redstone mechanisms. Jolvis and his team fled the town and vanished without a trace. This event has since become known as the Genhoven Incident.
The isolated Julnoor Province would become the testing ground for Jolvis' greatest experiments. With encouragement from his apprentice Beyle, he began to experiment with terraforming the area, creating a great number of mechanisms that could change the landscape of Julnoor as Jolvis saw fit. For a time, Jolvis and his team were in redstoneering paradise. Sadly, this was not to last. Unbeknownst to everyone, Beyle had become envious of Jolvis work and knowledge, thinking them wasted on his quaint experiments. Beyle had a grander vision, one which led her to imprison Jolvis and act began acting as leader. This was unknown to the rest of the team, who believed that Jolvis had retreated into yet another self-imposed exile in some hidden workshop.
