Riverheim

Riverheim, also know as The Grand Jarldom of Riverheim, is the northernmost province in The Grand Archonate of Sylvania located between Uraka and Rodinnbrok. Riverheim was once an independent nation before merging with Sylvania.

Founding
Riverheim was founded by Sorbito and former citizens from Skjoldrbrodir whom have moved to the Eldham colony of Tortuga to found a new town. With the permission from Ezlioth, the captain of the colony at the time, Sorbito placed his town between the city of Manganien and the town of Stationsburg.

Manganien Declaration of Independence
A while after Riverheim was founded the larger neighboring city of Manganien declared independence from Tortuga. The news shocked citizens living in the Tortugain colony but luckily Tortuga managed to force the Manganien citizens out of Tortuga. The ruins of Manganien were given to Riverheim to develop and Riverheim managed to double its size,

Dissolution of the Colony
After The Valorant War the colony began to stagnate and soon the north part of the colony, most notably the city of Hafenstadt, was sold to Rodinnbrok and the two southernmost islands were sold to Wofingrad. Following the retirement of TheSexyCanadian, Pirate Lord of Tortuga, many Tortugain territories were given a option for independence, including the Eldham Colony of Tortuga. Ezlioth gave Sorbito the control remaining lands of the colony to form into a new nation and thus Riverheim became independent.

Days as a Nation
Soon after Riverheim became a nation it started to from a growing friendship with its southern neighbor Sylvania. Only one month after Riverheim became independent, the Confederation of Garxijos, Rodinnbrok, Yunria, Katolis, the Confederation of Anarchist Communes, and Riverheim all received an ultimatum from Uraka to either be annexed by Uraka or face war which caused the creation of the Great Coalition. The ultimatum panicked Riverheim since a few days prior Sorbito had disappeared, the leadership of Riverheim created a regency lead by Snish. Fortunately for Riverheim, Uraka cancelled plans to invade the northeast. A few days later Snish also disappeared and the remaining Riverheim leadership voted in NoobCalledSpeen as the new Jarl.
