Benacia is named after the continent of which the bulk of Shireroth lies on. During its earlier ages it was part of the Khaz Modan Empire. Recent archaeological finds have shown that Benacia during the Khaz Modan age was the center of culture for the northernmost parts of the empire, and a holy city for the Cult of Ikol, god of Tranquility. This may be because of the county's many lush forests and clean, crystal clear springs and streams. Most of the early natives, the Flotillans, however, lived offshore and worshipped ancient gods who are now long forgotten. The Line of Mortis also set down roots on this lovely isle!
