But before they can secure those talismans, the demonologists are driven out of their homes by angry villagers, and they flee to the new world. Avoiding the colonies of Jamestown, Plymouth, and Charlestown, the colonists sail down a long, broad river and on a strip of land establish Rood Point. The colonists befriend a tribe of Native Americans in order to steal ancient talismans needed for worship, but when the theft is found out, they are attacked. Before they are slaughtered, Dodson appeals to Nawor for help, but the demon only has the power to restore four of them to life for one day each century. The colonists are wiped out, and Rood Point is left abandoned for at least another century before Gateway City is founded at the site. //Note: Rood Point is known as the Old Quarter of Gateway City by the 20th century.
