Ostartia

The nation of Osartia is an island based nation located in the very westmost of Eldham with Aristios to its west, Anglunia to its east and Mapetra to its south.

Prehistory period
Long before its founding as Ostartia, a great civilization known as Leyfindor lay on the island. Its civilization grew fast, its soil fertilized by the nearby volcano, which lay in the middle of the island. They eventually grew a civilization based around the volcano, worshipping it, praising it as the great bringer of life, or as they called the volcano, "Mt. Artia". However, as much as the volcano brought, it would also eventually become their downfall. During a year of unusually high temperatures and low crop rates, the volcano erupted, larger then ever seen before, lava pouring down the sides, ash covering the skies, raining down on the cities, covering each in a layer of stone, leaving the island long forgotten, covered in stone, its civilization written out of history, until its eventual rediscovery.

Rediscovery Period
Collin Ulfrick started in the small town of Navarna, now part of the Grand Republic of Xeka, eventually moving on to own a town of his own, Vitgrin. Eventually due to several reasons, such as a refusal to be allowed autonomy, along with his own hopes and dreams of becoming a leader of his own nation, Collin left with several members. One of these members, Sorli Aestram, sailed the seas before being engulfed in a mysterious mist, only to find the long forgotten island of Leyfindor. Finding it on no map, nor anyone living there, they decided to claim the island for their own. From there on, they redeveloped the island, removing the long stone covered buildings and landscape, establishing their own town, Vulcan, which eventually became the capital of Ostartia.

Server History
Ostartia was created on 8/21/21 by Collin (fisherfinger3) after asking for independence from Xeka, which was granted. After a failed land purchase, Sorli (Sworldz) a former nomad turned citizen of Vitgrin, knowing of a long abandoned artificial island, relocated the nation to the area, expanding it and claiming the island for the nation. With the nation now claimed, and the first city now built, they turned to redecorate the island, in order to make it more natural, and less square.
