History

Founding

Clockhaven was founded during the first year of Era Nova by Henry Westcroft. After exploring the surrounding region, Henry identified the area as an exceptionally suitable location for establishing the Technate of Koperdam.

The area's geography played an important role in the decision. Its proximity to the Brass Sea provided access to maritime routes, while the Central Mountain and its surrounding fertile plains offered valuable natural advantages.

The settlement subsequently developed into the capital of the Technate and became the centre of its political and economic activity.
