History

Gnorbarian Times

The site of Oshuina was off the coast of Selubia at the times of the Gnorbaran Empire, and few ruins of the ancient empire remain at the site of the city itself. Anything there would be buried under the land deposited by the Paluimo river and consist of ancient shipwrecks or items lost off of ancient trading ships or river boats and washed down to their present location. The Gnorbaran port was some 6 miles to the south of Oshuina, where the mouth of the Paluimo was at that time.

Dark Ages

The gnomish village of Tølinda was founded during the dark ages of Agnurvarsia, and has gradually followed the coast northwards as the Paluimo river deposited silt in seasonal floods forming the present delta.

Colonisation

When Olvean traders began exploring the Agnurvarsian coast during the waning years of the Umorit Empire, the Paluimo river became an important trade and travel route to the Selubian interior. Oshuina was founded in ER 1135, and though it was nearly eradicated by the great plague of 1138, it has thrived since.
