Noord Wortland
Noord Wortland is a colony of Nieuw Walschor, occuyping the north of the Sabishi archipelago (referred to by the Walschorers as “Wortland”), and centered on Ebbenschipp. It is bordered to the south by the independent settlement of Kijima.
History
Founding
The colony was established when Mystia Lorelei showed P_P_A her settlement centred on Kijima, Sabishi's largest island. When she pointed out that the other islands were unoccupied, Venomthrope got butthurt and implied that they were in the sphere of influence of New Finngolia, even though they are kilometres apart.
P_P_A, thus encouraged, immediately claimed them for Nieuw Walschor and built a settlement of a few houses and a port on the largest of the islands.
Wort Freestate
P_P_A had invited new players anikinoken and Oranje to his nation the day they joined. While the latter turned on him in the course of the Massacre of Voelhaven, anikinoken had stayed contently on Ebbenschipp, where he had began exploring the underground. On the 3rd Feburary 2013, when P_P_A visited the island to build another house and lay the foundation to a church, Oranje came and asked for permission to live with his friend anikinoken on Ebbenschipp. P_P_A reluctantly agreed, distrusting the traitor but being willing to forgive him.
Later that day, the two declared the independence of Noord Wortland as the “Wort Freestate”. P_P_A, still the ruler of the islands, refused to recognise their secession. Suspicions were roused of Oranje being kovio incognito; te3 launched an investigation which produced convincing proof; the admin personally descended unto Ebbenschipp to ban Oranje, and Nieuw Walschorer rule was restored.
Collapse of Nieuw Walschor
On the evening of the 3rd Feburary 2013, the Principality of Nieuw Walschor collapsed under the burden of the War of the Breshikan Succession. Noord Wortland thus became an independent settlement, though bound by personal union to the city of Voelhaven, of which it can be considered a colony.
Economy
Ebbenschipp is proving a popular holiday destination for the citizens of Nieuw Walschor who seek warmer climates.
Geography
The biggest isle of the chain is Ebbenschipp, which is the only one permanently settled. The others are yet nameless.
Landmarks
Though Ebbenschipp is small, it hosts a modest harbour, two (soon to be three) houses, and the wooden Sint-Nikolaas church. The great Khagan Kovio is buried in a small grave in a corner of the island.
Residents
P_P_A maintains a favourite vacation home on Ebbenschipp, which has become the crown jewel in his empire.
anikinoken is dilingently robbing the virgin rock of its treasures.
