In 1550, a band of settlers moved some 190 kilometers east from Sartar into Prax and founded a prosperous trading post and fort outside the walls of the Rubble of Old Pavis. The Spirit of Pavis, which had protected the ruins of the Rubble, made a compact with Orlanth and moved to the new settlement for a new life.
A large wave of Sartarite colonists came to New Pavis in the wake of the Lunar conquest of Sartar. In 1610, New
Pavis surrendered to the Lunar Empire. In 1625, New Pavis was liberated from the Lunar Empire by Argrath White Bull, who has proclaimed himself King of Pavis.
The nearby Rubble is a major attraction for adventurers who wish to mine for robbers’ loot, treasure, or ancient artifacts.
