The Principality of New Cliffton is a small island state within the southern Atardon Sea, and rules over a small archipelago of four islands of varying size and shape.

Founding
The Principality of New Cliffton was founded by the nation's current Gildrichvraeld, Loreth Gilroch IV, who is a direct descendent of two other notable nobility such as Loreth Gilroch I and Fyydir Gilroch. The actual Archipelago (Named Owydd Aurnynbern) was founded by one Syesal Loghaii, the great grandmother and third cousin of Loreth Gilroch IV. The archipelago itself has been present for some several hundred years, however it had only emerged to be habitable within the last 90 years as water levels within the Atardon Sea shifted. Sysesal Loghaii and her offspring were officially the first inhabitants of the islands, and the archipelago was soon modestly developed, with several homes and one Vroch built. The position of the archipelago remained stagnant until Loreth IV later inherited the land. New Cliffton was founded in the year 230 TT and 127 PD. Versh Gildrich a'Owydd Aurybern is directly translated to "The Principality of New Cliffton" in the Noxist language, and is itself named after the Province of Cliffton within Daelyrian Helmia. Loreth IV was the last known member of the Gilroch House to be born onto the subcontinent of Helmia and under the Second High Kingdom of Daelyria. Loreth IV abandoned the inherited Lornwick Estate in Anstronis following the reported death of his grandfather, Loreth Gilroch II, who died several years after a mental break which drove Loreth II to Eldham for the last years of his life. Loreth IV, would remove himself from the Lornwick Estate following it's destruction after the Second Great Fire of Astronis, and would travel by carriage until reaching the city of Astoria, on the East coast of Helmia. Loreth IV would take with him the remains of the Gilroch Treasury and the entirety of his family's records, and his sister. Once in Astoria, Loreth IV would rent a small ship which would transport him south through the Helmian Sea and into the Citadel Canal before reaching the wild Atardon Sea. Loreth IV eventually landed within the Archipelago of New Cliffton after two weeks of sailing. Owydd Aurnynbern was a settlement founded by Syesal Loghaii, and at the time had a population of Loreth's landing had a population of around thirty individuals. Loreth IV took up residence within the Vroch, and began his governing role as the Gildrichvraeld of New Cliffton.
