Shyr-Arrak

"Ihn Ori'al El Aradusu Aderrid." - Mysterious motto of the Island before colonization, discovered by archaeologist and first settler StoryStudio at the beginnings of the era of colonization, on the 15th of August, 2020.

The flag of Shyr Arrak can be seen on the right, featuring the motto written in the original ancient script as well as a golden sea bird, the island's divine patron:

Shyr-Arrak, meaning, "small island" in a long forgotten ancient language, is a rapidly developing, yet rural territory within sight of the great spawn.

Written in a triangle-shaped symbol script, the words "Shyr-Arrak" were discovered by StoryStudio after an examination of a birch tree log found in the island. With the help of hired linguistics experts with access to more artifacts bearing similar inscription styles, this player was able to decode the words, and subsequently name the first player settlement on the landmass in possibly centuries such.

The primary political goals of Shyr-Arrak include maintaining and establishing friendly relations with all neighbors and act as an attractive stop for visitors coming from the great spawn.

One of the first nether portals of the world had been constructed by ancient peoples long ago inhabiting the island. During the era of colonization, the first established town government appropriated this ancient technology, levying a tax on passing-by travelers to be deposited in a chest tollway. Entry through the nether portal costs 1 item

The economy of Shyr-Arrak depends highly on gold and iron mining, although several crops including sugar cane, beetroot, wheat, and pumpkins are beginning to be farmed. Another remnant of civilization pre colonization by the present government includes an expansive subterranean network of mines, abandoned by the mysterious people once inhabiting this tiny landmass.

On the 16th of August, 2020, Shyr-Arrak island greeted the citizens of UltraBrot69, AMidnightDreary, and CosmicOrrery. Construction began on the great underground palace hall.
