Schants

Start of the Journey
Schants would initially enter the world of Rathnir on Sunday, June 12 2022, quickly after joining he would be recruited by PhantomRC, a talented recruiter from Featherian Federation, Schants was granted an apartment in Lunalia and promptly began engaging with the community, forming new friendships and connections, He met a number of people, including UnitedDoggo, TieCy, Ivan_From_Ivan and Ythorin.

Ivan invited Schants to join the mercenary organization from Daelyria called "Hand of Vhagar" after realizing his potential in PvP.

After a while, Schants made the decision of moving to Ythorin's town of "Solaris" (later known as Sollenburgh) because most of Lunalia's active players were from different time zones than Schants, making it impossible for them to communicate with one another.

Sollenburgh Arc
A small, recently constructed town west of Lunalia, Sollenburgh was built by Ythorin and a few of his pals. It was easy for Ythorin to swiftly bring in a big number of new recruits, for he was an enthusiastic and bright man who was also a very active player.

The principles outlined in Ythorin's book "Cobble and Logs" guided the city.

In essence, Cobble and Logs advocates for the freedom to build and share resources, arguing that "if everything is available, there is no point in stealing" and that the community should have a public storehouse accessible to everybody.

Twinkycome and Diarria, two players, would arrive to assist Schants and Ythorin as they began constructing the city and reconstructing the old walls of the former village near Sollenburgh.

After a few days of really hard effort, it paid off; the city was bustling, there were new buildings rising everywhere, and people were cheerful as ever.

Fall of Sollenburgh
After some time, Schants would become less active than previously because of disagreements with Diarria and Twinky as well as rivalry between them, Ythorin had some issues wit

h them both in the meantime.

Their relationship was cold therefore Ythorin made the decision to sell Sollenburgh to Taufi for 40,000 dollars. Following this, Ythorin was granted a new town inside Soumere Serenus under the name "Mediolanum"; however, he eventually changed the town's name to "Pravdamir"  once Serenus's leadership judged it worthy. After a while, Schants returned to being an active player. He joined Pravdamir and began working on it alongside Ythorin and a few of their friends.

Meanwhile Twinky and Diarria established their town of "Edenville" in North Frostmarch and because of their prior foolish feud with Schants and Ythorin, Twinky and Diarria would often raid Pravdamir.

This continued for a while, but finally they ceased raiding; still, Ythorin remained enraged with them for starting the raid in the first place, which caused him to become less and less active over time.

As a result, Schants decided to try founding his own town for the first time. He approached the leadership of Serenus and requested them to provide him some land, but they declined. He then went to the leadership of Frostmarch and asked them to grant him some land so that he could establish a fresh settlement, and they agreed.

Founding of Schantsstadt
Schants and a group of his friends founded Schansstadt, which would later be renamed Farløarn. They had grand plans for a massive city, were constantly planning, and their ambition only seemed to grow. However, after a few months, his friends stopped being involved, leaving him alone to carry out his ambitious plans—many of which were nearly impossible for a single man.

Schants's ambition was shattered for a while after this, although he continued to work on some of his plans.

Ederian Revolution & Independent Frostmarch
After a protracted absence, Schants eventually returned and started to interact with the Frostmarch community. He strengthened his connection with Twinky and the two of them supported one another with each other's cities and plans.

Knowing that Temsyod, the Grand Jarl at the time, wouldn't proclaim independence because he could consider it too dangerous, Twinky saw an opportunity to declare Ederian Kingdom's independence following the collapse of The Horde, which would compel Temsyod to do the same.

Ederia would eventually return to Frostmarch, first as a vassal and then fully reintegrating into the Grand Jarldom.

Around this time, a new town named "Venator" was established west of Farløarn. GH_Eagle, Denix, and emperor_of_war, also known as Leoric, were in charge of this newly established settlement.

Return of the Old Jarl and Diarchy
After a short period of silence, an old Jarl who had been banished from Frostmarch due to the loss of the civil war. He desired to be reinstated as the Grand Jarl of Frostmarch and founded a small island to the north of the Frostmarch's mainland, which he would name "Venzor" and "My little Elba".

Especially once most people realized that Temsyod was too inactive to manage a nation this active, Voske and his collaborators made a new Frostmarch nation claim as a symbol of rebellion. Several mayors, notably Schants, supported Voske's return as a Grand Jarl.

Observing Voske's resounding support, Temsyod made the decision to speak with Voske and those who supported him in an attempt to reach a solution.

Temsyod and Sir Voske would both become Grand Jarls under the new "May Constitution of Frostmarch" that Fraz created as a solution to this problem.

Temsyod agreed after some persuasion.

Parliament of Aeldres's final meeting
After a while, the two Grand Jarls had become inactive, the populace was furious, and the Parliament of Elders was trying to find a solution to this. They met in the attic of the Farløarn Parliament building to discuss this.

Schants, FrazSays, Twinky, Hohe Tannen, General imi, MoskauMaster, Bman, and Pope Francis were present at this gathering.

Schants proposed a plan that would require the current Grand Jarls to step down or to be active again. He proposed holding Grand Jarl elections and requiring each candidate to state his or her qualifications, short- and long-term goals for Frostmarch, and a deadline of one to two weeks to finish them.

People could then determine whether they are deserving and active enough to govern the nation based on that.

After seeing this Temsyod official resigned from the postion of the Grand Jarl on 29th of June 2023.

Voske, on the other hand, responded differently to this; he became inspired to play once more, tearing down the parliament and claiming to be the sole real Grand Jarl.

Chill Period
Schants would carry on improving his city and having fun with other citizens during this period.He was also promoted to the rank of Jarl, and his Jarldom—the "Jarldom of Odemark"—was located in the center of the country.

Frostmarch would see prosperity during this time, but with a few bumps along the way. Notably, one of those bumps were the Heimrian revolts, although they weren't particularly noteworthy.

Schants would also lend Fraz some assistance when excavating his quarry in the Erovald outskirts.

Evermorii invasion
Jarl RoseHost's decision to provide the former Bardonian Emperor Shanks some land so he could establish his new town and "settle down and chill" led to discussions about a potential invasion of Featheria, in which Shanks would assist Frostmarch purely for fun.

Host who had been considering quitting for a quite some time but still wanted to make things better for the country, saw this as a fantastic opportunity to secure  Featheria for Frostmarch and made the decision to try and persuade the other Jarls.

Despite their initial skepticism, the majority of Jarls chose to put their faith in Host due to his extensive background in Stoneworks politics. All of them appeared to have trust in Host, with Voske being the exception.

Shanks persuaded the Jarls that he would receive assistance from Lorent, their former overlord, and that as a result, Shanks would have to pose as an independent entity from Frostmarch in order to receive aid from Lorent.

Shanks would progressively stop speaking to the Jarls when Evermore declared its independence, and it became increasingly clear what was truly happening.

After a while, Evermore would begin to threaten Featheria with war. Understandably alarmed, Featheria sought assistance from Tortuga (Serenus). Shanks would then pay Serenus to stay out of this and not annex Featheria in order to keep them safe from him. Following this, the desperate Featherians began the talks with Voske.

Seeing this as a serious danger to his plans, Shanks instructed Voske to end the negotiations with the Featherians so that they might take complete ownership of their claims rather than only being subjugated.

Voske complied.

The last resort for the Featherians was Lorent.

They reached a consensus that Featherians would join Lorent and come under their guard.

Following this, Evermore and Lorent (known as Lautine at the time) invaded Frostmarch; you can read more about that invasion here under the "The Snowfall War and the Invasion of Frostmarch".

Trip to the North
Schants and other Valds would look for refuge wherever they could; they moved to Andorn but soon fled due to changes in the weather and emerging diseases.

The Great Valdic Migration
After coming back to their home continent of Sørligste, They then instead traveled to T.E.K. in need of a new place to live. The Kaizer granted them land in the Northern Sørligste, and the recently established settlements would act as an millitary frontier and cordon sanitaire against incursions from the Realms of Evermore.

The newly founded settlements are : Vajkland and Kylasholmar

Valds in the Iron Empire
Schants managed to make a name for himself in the Iron Empire by uplifting the Tengalii Nationalist spirit among the TEK citizens gaining the titles of "Propaganda Lidt" and "Ministur Durgejzr" and by also constructing the new settlements along the Northern Coast making him a "Kount".
