	The first year at [[Neptaris\|Neptag]] was hard on [[Zarakos of Taranio\|Zarakos]] and his men. Not being farmers by trade, at least one hundred and twelve of the original four hundred men with him died that first winter of starvation and disease. The following spring, Zarakos and a few of his men set about exploring the region around their settlement. They eventually met with a primitive tribe of elves who called themselves the [[House Arisan\|Aris]]. These dark-skinned people were exiles from their own race and, through the magical translations of [[Anesthos the Younger]], the two peoples established an alliance against the elements and dangerous creatures that prowled the nearby wood. To seal the alliance, Zarakos agreed not to cut down trees on the eastern side of the river they called [[Balinars]] (now called the [[Krios]]) in exchange for over one-thousand human slaves that the Aris had captured after a war with local savages. Fortunately, the slaves included women, and Zarakos and his men quickly set about expanding the population of their city. At Zarakos' order, marriage was prohibited, the women being kept as communal property of the men of the town. Despite his own order, Zarakos himself married a teenaged mute he named [[Aspruas]], the Aebaran word for "silence." He was quoted as saying that she combined the best aspects of a good wife: beautiful, young, and mute. Zarakos begat sixteen children upon her before his death at age seventy-two.
