The barony of Firinn was first established as fishing outpost and a way to get to the waster most magical tower of Elisair. Later Lintair, Firinn's biggest city and the biggest city on the western coast of Elisair became Firinn's capitol. Lintair was originally a garrison in case an invasion of the tower was done so that support could be given to the mages of the tower. It is the 6 Towers of Elisair that help keep the shape of the continent constant and the flow of magic viable. Without them, the whole continent would start to reform itself and magic would go wild.
