History
Before men- the dark damn forest covered isles of Sverka and Norga had been subjected to myth and mystery since the days the Blair's came into being. An explorer Visited the isles and on his return said only creatures of elements strength could live there for any length of time. He also found the isles had a very strong magical stenghtblike magic and mysteriousness clung to the islands
The black princes kingdoms- after his and his followers exile prince caraden sailed north and founded a kingdom on the isle of sverka building his capital caradenera or caradens hall.
The elves would leave the isles tearing down everything they could not take everything with them (save the tombs for f the dark powers caraden had summoned Perhaps hoping he could retun but he never did) and leaving no trase leaving the isles once more to nature.
Early history-the people which ventured to the northern isle were the hardest of the humans. the two ethic groups which settled the isle were the sverkans and norgens and they came after the events of fengier the guardians. the house of olin had found an ancient tomb where there leader lord beowulf asked for his power and in return the dark spirit which inhabited the tomb would be allowed to leave in the lords body. to this day the being is not know. beowulf became king of the sverkans and declared the kingdom of sverka. he married a germinc merchant and she had him to take the name olinberg.
Under the cover of the dawn star on an old abandoned mott (created by the elves of Prince Caraden and abandoned during the great chill) Beowulf founded the settlement of perunsguard
However he found that dark powers still lingered in the island he found an ancient tomb and communed with the dark spirits there. They offered him the power of his gods to help him in his wars against the other chiefs. The black library became his new weapons, he with help from the dark spirit in hem established magic cults who used ice magic.
The spirits belived they could corrupt him but Beowulf was cunning, using magic and the power of binding he sealed the new black libary to only those of his bloodline and made it so that the sprits where bound to its dark depths
A curse lay upon the knowledge however that whoever dared used it had to pay a price unknown till it was to late.
the dark lord and the wars of unification- king beowulf 1st know as the black king on sverka created a massive fleet and sailed east to find the norgens. they themselves had formed a republic of the noble and tribe family's. beowulf brought with him a massive army of soldiers and magicians. but the norgens had there own great leader another warrior but one driven by knowledge. the resulting conflict know to the northern isle as the brother war resulted in a treaty where king beowulf and the lead of the norgens know as rolf the strong would rule as twin monarchs but the title of king would belong to beowulf. Olaf would take the title co-king but only the kings decedents would rule as the next king and co-king. but the two peoples would be equal. however beowulf would also serve a master and olaf apprentice with beowulf teaching Olaf the dark powers he knew. however at this time not all of the norgen islnd was under his an the co-kings control (it is almost important to mention that no all of sverka was under his control either with much of the west of the island laying out with his control) . also some of the smaller islands where ruled by petty kings and lesser lords. beowulf wanted first to use diplomacy but it failed. he also knew that sea elf long ship could try and take these islands know that they where going to provide trade links. so beowulf an co-king olaf along with there sons went to war to unit ll of the lands inhabited by sverkans and norgens alike. however this would be easier said than done. on sverkan beowulf's brother godfred marched north to take the mountains and established a base for himself to settle the land. beowulf youngest bastard son tyr sailed with 200 men to isle north of sverka to establish a base there. beowulf ordered smaller lords to take land from petty kings and rule as jarls but what ever land thy took by themselves they would rule, olaf told his jarls on norga to do the same. but in 4930YBCW beowulf died and his legitimate sons Christian (4981YBCW) (isw is alos said to have married a selkie princess) and Fredrick (4978YBCW). it is somewhere in beowulfs regin that the legend of the selkie war happened, it is belived that the selkies invaded with the help of a great black fleet, these masters of suduction and maniuplation ravaged there way across the isle and only with the help of the sea elves (known to the isle men as Belzafolk) to help them drive them off. Christian 1st and co-king Fredrick 1st- Christian 2nd and co-king olaf 1st and the harrowing- after the death christian 1st at the age 51 after only 2 years of reign his sons christian (4962YBCW) and Olaf (4960YBCW) became king and co-king and there youngest brother sitric was named jarl of algaford. all three brothers had a strong bond but quick that relationship began to sour. the first cracks in the relationship where shown when wolf headed longship appeared on the eastern coast of norga and attack small jarls and petty kings. the savage tartan clad warriors burned the wooden walled settlements. sitric was sent with a large army to stop the invasion and was promised land on norga if he defeated these invaders. he was able to push them back with great trouble, mean while his brothers got other jarls and petty kings to join there kingdom. then after sitiric returned his brothers told him he wasn't able to get the land Supposedly because it would make them look power hungry but mostly because they wanted the land themselves. all sitirc was given for himself and his men was a small amount of money. next Sitiric and many other minor lords where forced to pay a massive amount of new taxes. after this sitirc was forced to send troops to his brother to fight the strong norgan petty king reginherus red hair. his people where sent in the front lines of battle and out of 100 men he had sent only 10 came home. after this horror sitirc started to grow a power base of alliances. meany smaller jarls within the kingdom and out with joined him angry with the king and co kings actions. however what he began to realize was that no matter how many lords he swayed to his side he was outnumbered. so he sailed east to find the men who had raised his shores. he came to several wind swept islands ruled by ruff looking lords whore wore tartan woolen clothing. there longships where a kin to that of the norgans and sverkans but instead of dragon they had snaring wolf heads. by marrying the most powerful lord in the areas daughter in order to gain his support. after years of pain staking preparation sitirics was ready. at the olinberg family feast all of the olinbergs where there. the king and his 5 child along with his wife. the co-king his wife and his son and sitiric and his family as well as jarls of the realm and forgin guests. coming to the end of the guests sitirc raised his family then nodded. that was the signal to his men. the doors where barded and then swords where drawn and bow strung. the first to fall was christian 2nds second son bjorn (4938YBCW) when his throat was slit by a jarl loyal to sitiric. the next to die was christian 2nd eldest son Christian (4941YBCW). he had killed three men before a shaft was put in his back then and axe was plunged into his back. king christian drew his sword killing a man charging towards him then turned to see sitiric slitting the queen throat. the next to fall was co-king olaf and his son karl fell followed by the co-queen. the rest of that night in 4902YBCW the royal family where all killed. however not all the royal children where dead christian son of christian 2nd sons Bjorn and sigerd had escaped. a kingdom with no king 4902YBCW-4897YBCW- after the events of the harrowing Sitiric attempted to crown himself. in the capital his supporters did crown him sitiric 1st but the lack of co-king ment there was a massive problem. in norga there was know a power vacuum and was soon broke out. Sitirics army of sell-swords and loyal lords wasn't enough to stop the tide of enemies know rebelling and attacking his boarders. after two year 4900YBCW dawned the kingdom was in ruins. Sitirc attempted to beat off the rebels with is allies and his own troops but his enimes where to many. many nogan lords rebels and raids from the east continued. from there place in exile the supporters of the brothers Bjorn and sigurd made there plan. from there exile in the kingdom of the ice coral crown (a sea elf kingdom) they planned. they secured the loyalty of the petty kings of the north eastern isle ( the southern islands of nroga known know as new revanina) supplying them troops. this was down by marrying bjorn to a daughter of the most powerful of the petty kingdoms. mean while in 4900YBCW as spring camp a great spring army arived from the east under a man by the name of Ri Mac Bethad (king macbeth) they pillaged the easter coast of norgan. they swept there way south capturing the entire weastern part of norgan king all the local lords and enslaving all those living there who had not been kiled. bjorn 1st and co-king sigird 1st- Christian 3rd and co-king olaf 2nd- Christian 4th and co-king olaf 3rd- revani invasion of the southern isle 4880YBCW- led by there king Etor 1st of House of Morwentar sailed an army of 1000 north to establish bases on islands in the frozen northern sea. the small tribal leaders and pettry kings stood no chance against the steal Armour of the morwentar heavy infantry.

Eirikr first began the constuction of a greatship building yard in his capital. the ship yard was built on desgins he had taken from the twin sultanates. withn three years it was built and contruction of a massive fleet began. these ships where not just longships but ships based off of southern warships. he began raising and training a corp of warriors. after another two years he had raised an army of 2000 profestional soldiers and a war fleet to carry them. his plan was to sail east and not just counqer the east but the entire badlands. in 1707 he set sail on the summer seas. he quicly took control of the isles of the east building his launch pad for the invasion of the main land. he spent a year on the islands and gathered more men to him. he took 4000 men and made his way to the main lands pushing his way east. he wasw undefeated in battle and fought all the way to the city of wolves. his jarls did the same and in 1705YBCW he took over the entire the northern badlands and in the city of wolves had himself procalmed the wolf king having all the clan chiefs and lards of the the land declare loyalty to him. he left a garrsion of 5000 north men with the promise they would be used on the southern boarder to fight the tsar. war in the south 1701YBCW in 1701YBCW eirikr raised a massive host and ignoring the wars of his uncle and grandfather deiced to strike quick. he with a picked group of 300 men seized Hells-lanading taking his in laws prisoners. this allowed for his massive host of wolf kin clans men and northern warriors to land in hells-landing. Eirikr made a quick move. instead of aim for the impieral capital like most other general he aimed to cut off the main bread basket of the empire. with an army of 10000 men he sailed down into the duchy of Szlski. this would force the impieral armies west while eirikr could sent raidiers down the smaller rivers as well as The river of kings and The dranavan river and keep more impieral forces in garrisons. in 1697YBCW with the death of the mad emperor gerhard 2nd he peace of krakow was signed where heligoland would be retained by duchess Gunhild who would share it with her older brother Varen onlinberg-hallsberg 2nd making erikir joint duke with his brother in law. in 1695YBCW erikir crowned himself the king of winter and proclaimed the union of winter in Hells-landing. as part of the peace eirikr sent 3000 of his best troops along with his son and heir Thorvald to help emperor Alerik in his wars in bron. in the mean time he spent his time nitting his realm toghter. his daughter married the grandson of Jarl Guthrum Reginherusson {Arnulf Rauffenberg}, guthrum 2nd (the first duke of derkhoff and warden of the north) eirikr's rival.

Georges sister demanded that he should but he was king and he would make the decision. the king was wary about this. he didn't want to become a pawn in the sultans game with his enemy. he also however didn't want to plunge his realm back into war and infact lacked the resources to go to war again. in this phase of indecisiveness he worked on bettering the realm investing in the farm lands. finally he married the sultans daughter in Mohammabad when he was 29. the marriage was contrary to belief was loving and the young queen quickly gave him two sons twins Andrew and Darian (born 438YBCW). he continued to reform the state and military. he strengthened the defenses of the colony but was forces to give back land due to the heavy cost to keep a permanent presents in the area. under the king and co-queen the kingdom remained at peace and was able to play enemy off one another. the king was kind and well liked often helping till the fields. infact the king had his own farm which he kept and would go to the local markets and sell of his livestock. his sons however didn't share his nature. both were spoil and brats who were bullies to the other children of the court. in order to rebuild there shatter economy George looked to Bank of the 5 lords and the republic of san antonia who loaned him money. this stabilized his economy which was stretched trying to modernize the army and rebuild the state. he was able to pay every loan he took out. when the co-queen died at the age of 54 (430YBCW) of a STD the king and the realm was distraught. a day of morning was held in all the realms under the king. the governance of norga fell to a co-regency council made up of the king and several prominent norgen nobles
. some used this to oppose the kings rule and the presents rebelled. George put this small rebellion down and sent the army to occupy the island.
In the wake of this rebellion would come his longest lasting legacy. He abolished the title of co-king instead darian was named the first king of norga the state would no longer be a based on a greater or lesser kingship but instead a partnership of equals ruled by one family. A seperste jarlthing was founded in carleon and for this George would be greatly praised. when George was 50 he proclaimed that the new fleet had been established. it was modern and larger than the verianberg imperial navy. however he wouldn't live to see it used as when visiting his farm he slipped and cut his hand the wounded went septic and he died.
