Eiknarfp

Eiknarfp played a crucial role in the Dorasterrock Invasion and served as the mayor of New Farnau, an aligned state of Bardonia before the town's collapse. He also participated in the Battle of Urnu-Arrak during the Coalition War.

Life in Farnau
Almost nothing is known of Eiknarfp's life before the founding of Farnau, and even when and how he entered the city can be met with suspicion. However, he was most likely among the refugees from the Jagdasian city state of Tarnos after its collapse. These refugees, who would mostly be absorbed into larger nations or establish smaller tribes, would venture into the continent of Syltor. Farnau would be founded by these refugees probably in late-September of 2020. In the early days of the settlement, basic provisions such as housing, food, and water were provided evenly to the refugee settlers. A small wine industry was produced during the time as well as the cultivation of simple crops. It is very possible Eiknarfp was active in these industries.

The Dorasterrock Invasion
As the settlement grew in prominence, it would be noticed by a nearby settlement known as Dorasterrock. Shortly after first contact, the settlers of Dorasterrock proclaimed Farnau as a vassal state of Dorasterrock. However, Farnau's status as a vassal state would end on October 3rd, 2020, after the switch from Towny to Lands. Independent from the laws of Dorasterrock, Farnau gobbled up modern-day Lobopolis. Due to the Switch, a majority of Dorasterrock's claims were left vulnerable. Eiknarfp and EmperorStorm plundered the city, slaughtering livestock, burning buildings, and looting chests. For most of October, Farnau became an expansionist empire, occupying Lobopolis, Dorasterrock, Kip's Bay, and the island of Kiplandia across the Phagosian Sea. Soon, however, Farnau crumbled in on itself due to inactive players.

The Bardonian Migration and New Farnau
The very few Farnauns, including eiknarfp, that remained were absorbed to the incoming Bardonian peoples. A week after the collapse of Farnau, eiknarfp established New Farnau as a vassal state of Bardonia. It remains unclear if New Farnau was established on the ruins of Old Farnau. However, New Farnau practically served as a small village on the coast of Syltor, just south of Hog's Island, and held very little political power in Bardonia. The town oversaw an increase in population and a small explosion of activity after eiknarfp invited several of his real world friends to the server in mid-November of 2020. The sudden increase of players attracted more and more Bardonians from other cities.

As the town steadily started growing, new infrastructure was built, homes were filled in, and civic codes were established. The incline of success established the powers of the high chief, which was naturally appointed to eiknarfp, and the chancellors. As a result, a player known as "Percy" was appointed by eiknarfp to take office as a chancellor. Percy was probably among eiknarfp's friends. On November 29th, 2020, the settlers of New Farnau negotiated a decree of independence from Bardonia as an autonomous protectorate. These negotiations would be known as the Treaty of Kip's Bridge, which is where the agreements took place. At some point after New Farnau's independence, Tzseu gave a gift to eiknarfp. The contents of the gift is unknown, but does prove that diplomatic relations were still kept between New Farnau and Bardonia.

Dolphinism
After declaring independence from Bardonia, the national religion of Dandelionism was abandoned and replaced with Dolphinism. Dolphinism was started by eiknarfp himself and added the deities of Dolphinia and Magmos. The main scriptures include the Dolphin Bible and Two Worlds, which were written by eiknarfp. Eiknarfp built shrines, altars, and fountains to promote the religion of Dolphinism and encouraged activity in its decrees. Occasionally, as the religion promotes, eiknarfp enters into the Nether and slaughters the local piglin populations. While Dolphinism certainly grew in relevance during this time, it is unknown if the religion started in the era of New Farnau or in Old Farnau during the Dorasterrock Invasion.

Like many towns in Syltor, eiknarfp promoted agriculture to become the basis of the economy. Potatoes and wheat became the main surplus crops. Eventually, however, the population and activity of the town declined and New Farnau collapsed.

Participation in The Battle of Urnu-Arrak
After the city's collapse, eiknarfp moved inland and rejoined with the Bardonians. During the same time, Bardonia and its allies were at war with the Coalition. When eiknarfp rejoined the Bardonians, he probably was immediately drafted to the war. During the Battle of Urnu-Arrak, the last major battle of the Coalition War, eiknarfp was drafted to the Trillium Fighters. During the Assault on Coalition Fort, Infinick of Tlahatl led a counter-attack on the Trillium Fort. Along with Unic0rnb0i, JurztheAndal, ChickyCarlos, and MidgeApe, eiknarfp helped fend off the military strike. After defeating the Coalition army with the casualties of MidgeApe and ChickyCarlos, the remaining defending force served as reinforcements in the continued military strike on Coalition Fort. Even with the approaching Trillium reinforcements, the Coalition army still managed to overwhelm the military of the Trillium Alliance. During the skirmish, eiknarfp was slain by Musztardan.

The last records of eiknarfp disappeared after March 9th, 2021.
