Utterly Mad

The ice still clung to the beards of the male humans as their ships landed on the sands of the foreign shore. This place would be where humanity begins anew and where the new era of the Vaasaka Empire. The surrounding landing area's forestry was very light and building would be out of the question right now so building a simple palisade would be difficult. Out of desperation, the humans would use their pick-axes and begin to dig downwards and begin to tunnel out a stairway 20 feet down. They would make sure to do this away from the beach to make sure the water didn't leak in.

Other humans would work on bringing the ships further inland so they wouldn't float away as the tides would come in.
