History

PLACEHOLDER — the Lichdenstein-era history of the faction

In the Frangfurd era, a later generation rebuilt Pioneers Outpost in 2540 and introduced hot-air-balloon travel to nearby settlements such as Pichon. In 2563 they completed The Copper Maiden, an all-copper airship, and in 2565 flew it south over Mono Monte — the first recorded crossing — to reach the Wet Lands. There they founded Camp 0 at the Ravana Ruins to research the Curse of Ravana, building the Pioneers Airstrip (later Citadel Airport) and the Camp 0 laboratory (later the Camp 0 Old Laboratory). They used the nearby village of Great Question as a hub and testing ground, rescuing some of its surviving villagers. The base was later funded by Kupfer Guild Inc.. On the Pioneers Peninsula around the outpost they industrialised Belucho around 2545 and built the Church of the Glowing Cross there, and assembled the Open Air Museum of Belucho from relocated ancient structures.
