[center][h1][b][color=0054a6]The Children of Artemon[/color][/b][/h1][/center]

The passengers of the great white ship were reluctant to leave their splendorous homeland, in many ways it felt like a betrayal towards their kin as well their children. But in the world beyond their own the gods raged in conflict and cast out one of their own, Artemon, whose domain included fire, craftsmanship and ingenuity. As he was chased out of the pantheon, in the corporeal world his cult was disbanded, his effigies dismantled and his followers persecuted. Many of them remained loyal, claiming to know the truth of his innocence in the deific conflict, but it all fell on deaf ears as the most devout followers of Artemon's destructive rivals punished them with a frenzy that many would consider unfitting to their civilised race.

Yet the cult failed to gather sympathy, as few were keen to be seen as standing against the pantheon. Increasingly they began to view fleeing as the only option that would allow them to survive, prosper and worship their god as their ancestors had done before them. And so many of them did, numerous ships such as this one left their lands seeking refuge. The journey was harrowing, for most the sorrow they felt over the loss of the harmony they once lived in was intense and setting sail meant giving up a chance of seeing those times again. Nevertheless when land was finally sighted on the horizon great relief showered over them. Their long journey was finally over and they had made their escape unscathed, finding a place of relative safety.

They landed and diligently set to the work of creating a sustainable settlement. It would likely take centuries before it even began to resemble the great high elven cities of their homeland, but with running water, the open plain and a nearby forest that might hold great game for the men to hunt, it seemed like a decent place to make a new life. They named their settlement [color=0054a6]Celebrimbor[/color], in honour of an ancient Elven hero.
