Name
Althir is named after an acquaintance of Ramius Uther, Vertnaine Althir. It was officially referred by the Imperial court as Rea'Halla, the name the colony was given by the empire.

History
The Imperial Colony of Rea'Halla was founded 672 after Madochi under colonial order 27 under the rule of Emperor Telgaf. Given an Imperial edict by the emperor himself, Lord Captain Ramius Uther, the colonists, and crew sailed aboard the galleon, Alternative Justice, to the colony site. Under Ramius Uther, the colony would survive several raids from indigenous orc tribes and pirates. The fortress of Bruinsvald was constructed four years later.
