 In the early morning of the 24th February, two Finngols landed on Ebbenschipp and replaced the Walschorer flag with a New Finngolian one. They also left a large flag standing on the ground in front of the houses. Upon waking up and opening the window, P_P_A noticed the grieb. He investigated the site and quickly discovered the names of the two evildoers, who, when confronted, confessed to having been sent by Venomthrope. After lecturing the Finngols, P_P_A undid the damage and kept the wool of the Finngolian flags. In the early morning of the 24th February, two Finngols landed on Ebbenschipp and replaced the Walschorer flag with a New Finngolian one.

 +==== Nieuw Walschor War of Independence ====
 +In the process of the [[battles:​walschor_war_of_independence|War of Walschor Independence]],​ Nieuw Walschor was annexed by the Katten Khaganate. The Wortlanders tired of the corrupt administration in Voelhaven, and in the spirit of Kovio/​Oranje—now recognised as a misunderstood visionary—proclaimed a free state, and lapsed into apolitical settlement status forever. The Duke of Nieuw Walschor, powerless as he was, was left with no choice but to acquiesce their decision. ​

-The size and population density of the islands make arable land a rare commodity. Zefier is the only island on which agriculture is rpactised. Due to these limitations,​ the Wortlanders'​ local delicacy are pumpkin pies. The ingredients,​ sugar and pumpkin, can grow on poorly fertile soil, and chickens can be held in tight quarters, thus making the filling dish the ideal food for the islands'​ inhabitants.+The size and population density of the islands make arable land a rare commodity.
