Ursolon, write up Fairfield History and PM it to me. My apologies, this is simply a skeleton of its' history. It needs a lot of work. If anyone has any information, send it to me, this requires a lot of work.

(This is all InCharacter Information, and all of it has happened in-game, an incredible timelapse of Dez1320's character's adventures on Lord of the Craft. Norjun has come a long way, from a small town in the Cloud Temple to the first City ever in the Cloud Temple, a Kingdom, Duchy of the Holy Oren Empire.) Charters we've created: The Town of Azar Charter The Town of Seventis Charter The City of Seventis Charter The Village of Fairfield Charter The Rebuilt Village of Fairfield, by Hosper. The Town of Pine Harbor Charter The Seventis Nation Charter [Moved to Archive] Azar | The Battle of Azar (Old Azar = Ascella) Norjun has not always been a Duchy, in its' own regard. It all began in Aegis, when Dezios Vallark assorted a group of individuals who followed him into the barren land they called the wild. He constructed a small civilization, deemed "Norjun". This is where the name Norjun first originated from. Following the Fall of Aegis to the Undead, Dezios died in the nether, and later disclosed a letter inside his armor for his child, Renati, to read. Claudius Centaurum, a long time friend of Dezios, located his son, Renati, walking down a path. Being the intuitive fellow he was, Claudius attempted to con Renati out of his money. Later however Renati told Claudius who he was, and a long period of loyalty and security would follow. Claudius and Renati took their route to Asulon by boat, but another legacy had began. Symodimi and Damien Dracaena had also indeed embarked upon the route to Asulon, barely. Following their arrival, Symodimi, his brother Dimatrik, and Damien went to Salvus to purchase a farmhouse. They settled in and later on Damien and Symodimi spotted Renati and Claudius. Renati had previously known Symodimi and they conversed. Renati disclosed he would be creating a town, and would name it Azar. Follow this, Damien decided to go off and acquire resources for its' construction. He obtained an immense amount of wood and went to the build site for Azar. Its' construction began promptly, but more specifically, individuals began sprouting up, such as Kilgrim Blackaxe, who would remain loyal for a long time. Azar slowly acquired its' roots and shortafter Symodimi spotted Casimir Amedaius, who proceeded to become the High Architect of Azar, a quaint little town located near the Cloud Temple. During this time of Azar, Renati had noticed an attractive woman near the cloud temple and decided to impress her, which later lead to the creation of Renati's long lost son, Trivane Vallark. Trivane went off with his mother and never met his father; He never knew of Azar one anything but simply lived with the monks. Renati had been constructing Azar along with Casimir Amedaius, but something began to go wrong. Casimir demanded pay for his work, and unfortunately due to the circumstances all workers were working for the good of Azar at that point. The pay would have to come later. Casimir, infuriated, decided to create a rebellion. He organized men for his disposal and recruited Ser Markus Powell, a former rebel in Galahar in Aegis. Markus and Casimir would cause the Battle of Azar. During this battle Damien became the Commander of the Azarian Armed Forces along with Renati. Symodimi had been absent during it. They went off to Salvus and graciously proposed a request for Queen Dawn to aid them in this rough conflict. While she wished to stay neutral, some Salvus Peacekeepers honorably gave their lives for Azar. The Battle ensued, and a large amount of Casimir's forces entered from the right flank, surrounding the small town. Unfortunately, the Battle of Azar was lost, but all was not forgotten. The Hierarchy used in Azar: Azar: Refuge in Salvus Upon Azar's fall to the Andromedam Rebels, all of the Azarian Loyalists had no place of refuge. The Gracious Queen Dawn of course offered all of the Azarian Loyalists a place of refuge for the time being in Salvus. She issued the request for the construction of an elaborate, miniscule white tent for the loyalists to conduct business and also arrange for the security and protection of Solace at that time. The Loyalists acquired resources, recruited followers, and also established their presence in Asulon. Though, Damien, Renati, Claudius and Symodimi decided that this was enough. We could not let the Rebel's besiege our town, they disclosed. All of the Loyalists agreed upon establishing another Town to the right of Azar. They all agreed upon the name, "Seventis". It would be a difficult task however. They would have to convince the Cloud Temple monks to allow for the acceptance of their most gracious charter. After all, a War ensued in the Cloud Temple regions. After a long meeting with the Cloud Temple Monk Talmb, they decided upon the verdict that the Town of Seventis be created. It had been done, we had fought back. The Town of Seventis We had done it, we had proven everyone wrong and created a town in the Cloud Temple after being completely eradicated by our foes. The Seventis Loyalists pledged that we would try our best to ensure that Seventis become a city, we wanted to be Ascella (Azar). The determination, motivation, and ingenuity of the Seventis Officials and Citizens was driven towards the creation of Seventis. Once again, the Dracaenas had gone off acquiring more and more resources to fund and supply the effort. They had gotten more wood and also more resources. Donations were set in place and still the Dracaena Family resided within Salvus. Claudius and Renati were organizing the architectural structure of the town and decided upon how they would do it. After a long sense of pondering, they decided and commenced construction upon the new town. It was built extremely fast, and it surprised the rebels in Ascella. Meanwhile, as the Loyalists were constructing Seventis, Markus Powell booted Casimir from the throne of the position of Lord. Markus began establishing states outside of Azar (Ascella) and eventually formed the Kingdom of Andromeda. Tense relations began to establish between the two states and almost lead to another war. Town of Seventis Beginning Construction: The First City ever in the Cloud Temple, Seventis. After all the hard work, dedication, and motivation of all of the citizens of the town of Seventis, their dream had became a reality. After a long conversation regarding diplomacy and politics with the Monks, the monks had decided that it would indeed become a city. Seventis was the first ever City in the Cloud Temple, ever. While to this day it is long gone, it is a remembrance of the hard work that was implicated by the incredible citizens of Seventis. It was however a long struggle that would ensue. The relations with Andromeda drew increasingly worse, and it almost led to a Crusade by Redbain Adelban. Fortunately, due to the mass drawing in of Allies, Seventis was able to divert the Crusade from occurring. The City of Seventis expanded and obtained several territories, namely Pine Harbor. It also constructed a college for weary travelers who wished to be educated on Seventis History, and other various subjects such as Golemancy. The College was a masterpiece and attracted several visitors each day. Seventis however required renovation and was quite cramped. That was one of the many flaws in its' design. War almost occurred however. Having decided that Seventis was in immediate danger, one of the Seventis Citizens dispatched a bird to a Renatus Commander and they brought the entire Renatus Army to Ascella's front door, which made Jullius take quite a few steps back. It scared the citizens of Ascella and most notably quelled the relations between the two states. The Seventis Military also had participated in the Battle of Das Boot in the name of Renatus. It met several other organizations during this event. Damien Dracaena wished for Seventis to expand. In doing so, he urged for the creation of Pine Harbor. City of Seventis: The Creation of Pine Harbor After Seventis being fully constructed, the people of Seventis decided they wished to expand their land even further, and wanted to create a location where it would flourish in such working conditions, where people could venture by sea, come and sell their goods. They wanted to create a center of economic growth, security, and hospitality. Pine Harbor shall play a role in the security, economy, and overall welfare of the seas of Asulon. It shall be essential to the growth of the soon-to-be Seventis empire. Travelers will come from all around Asulon to visit Pine Harbor, to sell and buy goods, to acquire a humble abode to rest in from the danger of the night. It will be the first step of the expansion process of the Seventis Empire. The flagship of the Navy shall be constructed promptly inside the port, for immediate dispatch. Pine Harbor will be located in the wild, where ships can be constructed for the navy and also merchant galleons can dock at the many ports of Pine harbor. The government officials acquired a location for Pine Harbor and plan to expand it promptly. Unfortunately, Pine Harbor was recently distributed under the reign of Count Casimir Amedaius. It is currently not in management at this present time by Norjun officials. Where Pine Harbor would be created: The Annexation of Ascella Following the creation of Seventis, months later there was an imminent problem for Ascella and Andromeda alike. Markus Powell had died, and left Jullius to control. Jullius was a lazy, terrible Lord that wasn't respected by the people of his town. In doing so, Renati requested that Ascella join the Kingdom of Seventis in conquest. Jullius accepted, and Ascella began to be annexed and also renovated. Construction plans were sent up and Ascella was being corrected. Soon after, Ascella was deemed the Capital of the Assortment of Territories that was coined, "The Kingdom of Seventis.". After Ascella was set in place, it began to expand. They created a Charter regarding its' expansion and proposed it to the Cloud Temple monks. Another individual, Ursolon Ironheart was rising in the Ascella hierarchy. He was quite close in overthrowing Jullius, however it was stopped by Renati Vallark. Ursolon was a former steward of Ascella and would go on to create Fairfield, a quaint town located on the road from the Cloud Temple. Mandarin's March Relations between Mandarin's associates and Ascella had worsened, and they were prepared to siege Ascella. Knowing this, Renati Vallark issued several defence requests and also petitioned for his allies to ensure that Mandarin's siege would be flaunted; In doing so, the march was quelled and Mandarin was beheaded. To this day, his head is still on a pike located in an undisclosed location. The March indeed took the lives of several in Ascella, but was a turning point in the security of Ascella and Seventis. The Kingdom of Seventis | Plague After a long period of construction, annexation, and diplomacy the Seventian officials finally agreed upon becoming a Kingdom. Renati, Ursolon, and Ariana began implementing policies and other organizational structures for the Kingdom. Damien Dracaena had died before this, and Claudius still had been guarding Renati with his work. Following this, Trivane Vallark had eventually came to finally find his father for the first time after being lost in Azar. Trivane was grown up now, and proceeded to talk to his father quite well. The Kingdom was split into several location(s): Sarun, Tyr, and Ursakar. All went well, but the leadership was quite poor from Renati Vallark. The Capital City, Sarun, was quite slow in its' construction. Another problem had arisen as well, undetected at the time. When a Subudai merchant trader had been exchanging goods with another Sarun Citizen, its' pack mule fell to the ground and was left there in the middle of the street. It was unknown that the pack mule contained a disease and flies quickly spread around the mule, engulfing its' carcass. Renati Vallark awoke from his slumber to notice this, and immediately he caught a stench of the plague. The Plague was about to create a mass evacuation and lock-down of almost all of Asulon. It had started from Seventis, and would end Seventis. The Plague quickly spread, and engulfed Renatus, Hanseti, Normandor, Haelunor, and other Kingdoms located throughout the region. Hanseti went into a lock-down as did others. The Plague had consumed Seventis. Following the quarantine of the Plague, Trivane and Aerios Vallark had survived it. They began decided on what to do with the Kingdom. They agreed upon conjoining with Renatus and deeming Seventis a Duchy. It had been done, that was the plan. The Duchy of Norjun - unfinished - [if you have any revisions, or anything you wish to be implemented send me a private message]

(No, I never said that or intended that. I had noticed in this post it was from him to his people, and he was requesting his counts and nobles to swear an oath to him. I was under the impression you hadn't officially deemed him Duke of Norjun, so I was a bit confused. Apologies for the misunderstanding.)

(Yes, that was what I meant. He hadn't officially been recognized.)

((Time and time again, Godfrey must appoint you duke in order to become the Duke of Norjun.))

Upon the midst a of deep fog, a large grandiose ship docked in the harbor located off the shores of Norjun. A humble, yet stingy individual stepped off the ship with caution and haste, calculating each step and maneuver he made with the slightest adjustment. Trivane Vallark stepped off of the old Sarun Flagship, observing the calm and midnight skies. He gently reached into his satchel and removed a piece of bread, consuming it rapidly. “Tis' has been a long time since I have docked within the quaint shores of Norjun. Aerios shall receive word of my return promptly. I've received several birds disclosing my whereabouts and I shall answer them at will.” Trivane proceeded to walk back upon his flagship to retrieve his belongings before he would depart back off into the Duchy, ensuring he would be equipped for whatever dangers lurk ahead. He began to whistle faintly, calling his carrier pidgeon to perform a task for him. “Dalvein! Come here boy! Take this parchment to Aerios, if you happen to have remembered what he smells like. He needs to know I have returned. Ensure he receives it, it is a very important message entailed.” ------------------------- An elven week later, Trivane would arrive in the ruins of Sarun discovering that it had been demolished. “I'm not surprised. Aerios must not have commenced the build projects for Sarun, it is essentially assimilated to what it once was, a mere image of what it could have been. The amount of inequities that have plagued this land since my departure is substantial. Oppression has crept upon the land, intending to remove those who are believed to be a mere figurehead from their throne. What shall I do to end the oppression? I must alert my brother of this. It may only be I who shall be able to truly end the reign of abnormalities that have resulted from my brother's reign... Oh the calamity... disparity... it must end. ” He began to travel to each location, seeking out where all the residents were residing. It was then that he came to Ursakar, discovering new people and people he had never seen before. They were unknown to him. Having noticed his brother stationed upon in a large structure, perhaps a castle like building, he approached the building quickly, observing who was inside. “Aerios, are you there?”

Trivane stumbles a bit, dropping the glass of ale he was holding. "Opph!... I..er.mean the Cartographer was drinking a wee bit too much ale. I'll fix tat for you." He says, obviously drunk. Going over to the map once again, he goes to correct the error. "Tat better for you?"

(( The Cartographer made several errors in creating the map. He was drinking ale that night. ))

* A Map is Spread Out Upon the Norjun Flagship a few Paces away from Sarun, the map looks slightly inaccurate, almost as if the cartographer had been drinking ale the night he illustrated the map. * A long table is located below deck of the flagship, containing current land holdings and also landed nobles. Structural and Strategical information is written upon multiple pieces of parchment for the Norjun Nobles to view. ~ Landed Norjun Nobles ~ Duke Aerios Vallark - Rules the Duchy of Norjun Count Trivane Vallark - Rules the Highest County, the County of Sarun Count Ulric Ironheart - Rules the County of Tyr Baron Tiberius Ceaser - The Barony of Rienna ~ Unlanded Norjun Nobles ~ Countess Ariana Grachi Baron Jullius Vallark ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Trivane Vallark holds up his hand, requesting that all of the nobles come hither. He beckons for them to take a seat in the Flagship's quarters, where he will discuss the plans for the County of Sarun and the status of the Duchy. "Hello everyone. I shall be discussing the current status of Sarun and what will be occurring in the future." Trivane reaches over towards his mug of ale and takes a sip. "Sarun's walls shall remain, the roads intact and the docks secure. All of the unfinished buildings will be torn down and new buildings will be residential buildings and also a barracks for the bannermen to come. Aerios and I plan to recruit an assortment of bannermen to secure our borders and also fight for Renatus. A cure has been found for the plague, it seems. Because of this, a quarantine process shall begin to flush Sarun out of the plague that riddled there. All blood and the corpses will be disposed of in the ocean. We must do this, even to our loved ones.. I will issue a command for the barracks to be constructed, several more homes to be built and also for a castle to be constructed. Homes will be available in Sarun and a tax system will be implemented for growth towards the Duchy. Aerios and I will see to it that Sarun will be constructed double time due to the slow progress our father made. Are there any questions?" He stands up, waiting for any noble to direct any inquiries towards the documented information presented before them. "If there is any inaccurate or missing information, please speak up now. Also, if you wish to be landed, you may appeal for land via statement to our cause."
