Island of Tovner

The Island of Tovner, commonly known as simply "Tovner", is an island off the coast of Gilneas. It is also known as "Gilneas Island" to most Gilneans, for its similarity to the mainland of Gilneas. It is now owned by Ez Tavinar, who plans to reform the old Greymane-style island into a technological wonder.

History

Founding
Tovner was formed after the expedition of Duke Elis Tavinar of Gilneas to find land for Gilneas to claim. This was before the First War, and long before Gilneas was seperated from the Alliance. The Tovnerians were constantly getting imports from Kul Tiras, Stromgarde, and of course, Gilneas. Life was swell on Tovner, as many Tovnerians were happy with their new home.

After the death of Elis Tavinar (Caused naturally) near the Shattering, Elis' son, Tommosin, was put on the throne. The crown of Tovner was given to Duke Tommosin Tavinar of Tovner. Tommosin already had a son, in which he named "Ez".

Destruction
However, the day after the ascension of Tommosin Tavinar, the island was under attack by a band of pirates, now known as the "Stormwater Pirates". They ransacked the main capital of Tearvale City, and began taking parts of the Island. The Stormwater, with Tearvale destroyed, had full attention set on Duke Tommosin. They attacked him in a way similar to lightning. Ez's mother, Tarra, took Ez on a boat to Gilneas out of Lily Harbor, only to find that Gilneas was also under siege, this time by the Forsaken. The boat was re-routed to Stormwind City, where the Tovnerians would find their new home.

Ascension of "Duke" Ez
At adulthood, the now Crowned Duke of the Island of Tovner, Ez Tavinar, was distressed. He knew that his people would fall without a proper home. He plans on making said Island no more of a monarchy. Instead, he would make the Island of Tovner a democracy, with him as President. He also plans on making it a technologically advanced island, known as a wonder of Azeroth. He now plans on forging a group to reclaim the Island.

This group will be known as the People of Tovner.
