Pelthri the Explorer

Pelthri the Explorer was a half-elf sea captain who discovered the continent of Ilon in 312 ST. She did so under commission from the small city-state of Coron. She named the first place she landed, a small island of the east-coast of the continent, New Coron. On the continent of Ilon the Pelthrian Forest is named after her.

While Pelthri was sent off with great enthusiasm by the senate of Coron, after she had left on her journey, the political tide in Coron turned. Once she returned home, she found that the senate of Coron no longer looked favorably upon her expedition, seeing it as a costly venture that was unlikely to yield anything of value. She was charged with a large fine for wasting government resources, under the accusation that she kept on going with the expedition much longer than she had been ordered. These fines forced Pelthri to sell the information of her discoveries to the League of Darian Princes. The league did see some potential in Pelthri's discoveries and quickly invested in establishing a foothold on the newly found continent. It is unclear what exactly happened to Pelthri after securing the investment from Daria, but it is often believed that she lived the rest of her life somewhere in Daria.
