A small Outpost was established in Gellion's Cross, a short trip from the borders of Bormar '''[[Bormar]]'''. Due to the discovery of an ancient document by Lord Tolbar Maldus that hinted at an ancient Dwarven presence in the area, an expedition was launched to settle the land and unravel its mysteries.
 
Kon Belben was established on the Northeastern coastline of Gellion's Cross. It was founded upon a collection of stone ruins built by unknown hands.

== Economy ==
The economy of Kon Belben was diverse, with no one single item or trade dominating any other. Plenty of local businesses offered a variety of goods and services, including Moldaths' Simple Smithy, Folly Moss Alchemy, and the Gellion's Cross Postal Service, and several others.
 
Regular trade was established with Bormar in the 6th of Juntag 812, when Ceannard Kalastra came to an agreement with Trade Officer Doratrir of the Fitgins & Sons Trading Company. From that point onwards, Kon Belben's docks would have several traders present for the Outpost's Dwarves to barter with whenever they pleased.
