+ | The first humans in Man were the Logrians, guided by warrior-shamans of a seemingly-[[Ulm-ea|Ulmish]] background. Migrating to the once-Fomorian landmass, they coexisted with the Fir Bolg at first, but expelled most of them the moment an opportunity arose. This chance came with the Milesian invasion of the Tuatha' | ||

+ | Logres became Man with the arrival of the Witches, non-Logrian ladies who heard notes of magic from the forests and came to find the full songs. Eventually they found their prize, the Enchanted Forest of Avalon, and treasure troves of Sidhe [[spell-singer|spellsongs]]. Their discovery made them the most powerful beings in the land, so they united Logres and chose a non-Logrian King for it.

* Related to ??Logrian Wise Man?? and ??Monk?? recruitment. As monks can efficiently be recruited out of forts and wise men require it, it is good to keep in mind the fort placement relative to these foreign labs and temples. Enough of forts that are high enough level can suck all resources from neighbor provinces. This makes recruitment in these provinces impossible. This happens most easily with two forts and a castle((Man capital is castle! Thrones should get castle!)) bordering a province. While temple still creates temple check and is easy to rebuild elsewhere, labs become basically useless without resources. | * Related to ??Logrian Wise Man?? and ??Monk?? recruitment.
