Early History
Our historians have been uncovering the ancient lore of this region in the mountains and taigas in Norfthorn, Andorn, The Venlande, Toppmøte, and the Sovereignty of Frognog Flaskor. Note: Records are flimsy due to the culture being big on Oral Communication, and not writing much down, we gathered information from natives across the Bjørnian Mountain´s and ´The Rurals´, aka The Great Bjørn´sberg Taiga (The Taiga in Adorn) The Religion depends on region and village but mainly is the Solstice-based religion called Nøjnfaste by the natives, meaning ´The End of The Great Fasting´.

It is believed that the 2 tribes occupied The Middle Rurals, Horans (meaning dwellers) and the Jonøns (meaning builders), the lived together and even mixed until they decided to draw a line of their lands, the Jonøns got the east and the Hornas got the west. The Horans would later develop into Norfthorn while the more nomadic Jonøns would spread out over the region of The Rurals, building more permenant settlements in the Mountains, and the Horans (Now called Norft´s as in People of the North) founded Norft-Horan city (North city of the Horans). The Jonøns started being called Bjørns or Bjørnians because they were similar in personality to the bears of that region, the people thought this was humorous and a good name for them, so they adopted it with open arms. Apearlism started developing at this time, being a collection of cults.

The Bjørn-Elven War
(THIS IS NOT AN INGAME WAR, It´s pretty obvious to think these two cultures had a war considering the inhabited the same mountains and most likely hated each other) The celestial elves started building settlements in the Southern Bjørnian Mountains, and tensions led Between the two, considering each other War Mongers, and this is when The Flaskor Mercenary Guild began, they are an elite group of Mercenaries that removed their iris and pupils to gain a control of sound, they made Bjørn´sberg do well in the war, assassinating many Celestial Elves, but they went to travel the world in search of more profit, this led to the Elven people dominating the Bjørnians and giving them heavy taxes to the people in the south, but the people in the rurals where unaffected. (This would set the stage for Aurlunor expansion North)

The Return of the Flaskors, and Apearlism
The Flaskors returned after a while, this gap could have been genarations big, but Bjørn´sberg had barely developed in this time, but being pushed back by the people of Andorn. The Flaskors created a reserve in The Northern Rurals, and started building Toppmøte with the skilled architects of Bjørn´sberg, (The people barely developed because of their Nomadic lifestyle.) The Apearlist Cult in Toppmøte where being kicked out, so they brainwashed Grennetic Flaskor into killing the Entire Guild and spreading the Religion, It is unknown how he did this considering he was one of the weaker ones.

Bjørn´sberg and The Adventures of The Flaskors
During this time, Grennetic Flaskor went to Ryzan, where he tried to spread a religion but instead was givin the task to re build Old Balreska, which he re-named New Valle, because Apearlism is thought to originated in Valle/Lennox, but the Bardonians misunderstood and put down a sign that threatened them, and Grennetic wanted to put forces to protect the town inside his town but this was treason, and he was found guilty after Bardonia said they have no intentions of invading, they did invade (this was a miscomnuniacation) and Grennetic was still exiled and died in Exile, Bardonia invaded because they thought this town was a part of Valle, which they conquered recently. Asries Flaskor was the child of Grennetic Flaskor and The old Duchess of Ryzan raised among the Tsars, which liked him, and didn´t want him raised by his degenerate father. He was considered Psuedo-Royalty, and could never become Tsar. He left to find his Routes and found Haggly which told him of his Father and Nation, and he then stopped following Apearlism learning its orgins. Meanwhile Toppmøte is being built, a project to unify the people of this region, but the claim is not respected by Haggly, they use Asries as a mid-way to diplomatically purchase land from Norfthorn, and they continue the building of the city. Frognog Flaskor was Bjørnian, Asries was Ryzani when it comes down to it

The Alluim War effect on Bjørn´sberg
Asries Flaskor allied with Ryzan, and after there Annexation he tried to claim a larger portion of Andorn and agro them, but he obviously lost and was executed, his son Frognog Flaskor was not killed but Exiled, he then was taken to Duragrad where he would make Cheese until he was 15. Although Bardonia had thought of Asries as the leader there was none, and he had declared war in the name of himself, and claimed the land for Bjørn´sberg, but Bardonia had thought he was the leader, the land became an international zone and most civilians fled, so although they did not like his decision they still respected him, just considering him stupid.

The Commonwealth Party and The Glorious Coup
Opinions on the war where diverse but mainly leaned towards Neutrality, but the people took to whoever would give them shelter during the war, and after the war ended and Bardonia was divided they made the land The Frognog Flaskor Sovereignty, seeing as Asries Flaskor had payed for the land, but demanded elections for Toppmøte, then they brought all the Bjørn´sberg refugees back to the town that wanted to come, and an election was had where The Commonwealth Party (Frognogs party won), this seems unlikely because they thought Asries was incompetent and Frognog was only 15, but his witt and calm demeaner let him win although not by much.

After Frognog plots to liberate the Bjørnian mountains in North Aulunor Venlande, and he was ratted out by his friend Børn, who only wanted to just take leadership, Aurlunor Venlande launched a coup then put him at its center, declaring the Helhiem lineage royal.

The Era of Silence
Børn tried to populate the city, and turns the abbondonded Apearlist church into a throne room, and keeps developing the city, Many Bjørnians leave forcing him to have to try to get more populous, meanwhile Frognog Flaskor builds Fort-Galahad and him and Gribbits Games began to prepare for war.

= Religion and Government =

Nøjnfaste, the state religion
The intense climate with blizzard winters and insanely warm summers, a Solstice based Religion formed worshiping the Pagan Pantheon of Suneam, Hella, Dwavan and Mune. Specifics lie within each specific tribe but the General jist is that an ancient emperor that ruled half the world wanted to fight the empire controlling the other half, so he created Mune to shine darkness over the entire empire, but after he conquered it he had useless dark land, so he created Suneam to light up the region, but these went rogue and killed him destroying the empire and they now dance around the world creating day and night, and when they stop dancing the Solstice happens, these gods then created Hella and Dwavan to watch over the world stopping empires from forming, Hella representing anarchy and Dwavan resembling order. Suneam takes the form of a Yellow Archer, running around holding her giant yellow orb, with a high knee position, while Mune resembles a sad Druid with bad posture carrying the moon on his back chasing to keep up with Suneam, Suneam and Mune are best friends and when they want to be together the eclipse happens. Dwavan and Hella are friendly rivals, and are like Children to Mune and Suneam, sharing a sibling rivalry to take over the world with Order or Anarchy, keeping each other in check, they are both very similar in their confidence and Light heartedness.

Government
