Basque Place Towns Tale
I. Within the Dawn of your time
Once the ice ages receded and the initial human teams roamed the humid valleys in the Cantabrian Sea, the lands we now call Euskal Herria had been presently a refuge. From the caves of Santimamiñe, Ekain, Isturitz, and Aitzbitarte, anonymous hands left bison, horses, and symbols that still appear to resonate nowadays.
