Farrenore

Overview
Farrenore is a small island hamlet situated in the South-Western quarter of the Osterium Sea just off the coast of the continent of Sparwood. That was founded on July 4th, 2021 by Jonathan Lozharo, the hamlet has remained in a modest size serving as a humble outpost for the inhabitants within, the Outpost has seen many unexpecting travelers and visitors, with many of the interactions, with Jonathan personally gifting food to these travelers and bidding them safe travels.

Prehistory
Escharia


 * From Research into Old records, Jonathan, discovered that the Escharian Empire had at one point claimed the land, sea and islands surrounding Farrenore, Although very little was done with the islands.

Kostuco


 * This continued when they came under Kostuco rule who were more pre-occupied with solidifying their control internally in their city center's than some distant island on the fringes of their borders. It is heavily speculated by Jonathan. That it was during their rule that the island was raided of much of its natural resources with him comparing maps dating it to their rule that the Island suddenly changed appearance.

Early History
Founding - [July 4th, 2021]


 * Jonathan arrived on Rathnir on July 4th, where he first made landfall in Yimmu-Audal. Finding himself in a endless expanse of sand all around him, He would begin to explore the desecrated deserts, Towns and Ruins that he came across in his travels from Yimmu-Audal to Escharia (Niedea), he would narrowly survive bandits, who pursued him for 300 blocks before losing interest. After that encounter he would arrive on the continent on Sparwood, where he met up with a old friend for a day who gave him food. Before bidding farewell to one another with Jonathan departing to continue on in his journey, he would eventually arrive on a deserted Island. Robbed of its natural resources and laid abandoned, although not a ideal place to start a home, he saw the potential for the island, and would begin settling on it.

The Gertek Insurgency - [August 2nd, 2021]


 * A resistance emerged in Arxella, by a Nomadic group of Steppe people collectively known as the Gertek Horde. Jonathan and his citizens would be uninformed of the situation from Arxella, as the only source of information at the time was from the Tzar himself, which from what it can be inferred was pre-occupied with the resistance. Which left the people of Farrenore to continue their day to day business as usual unaware of the ramifications and the political shift taking place in the mainland, that shook up Northern Sparwood.

 * On the September 16th Gammaman1340 would wash up on Farrenore's shores by accident on his way back home, at the time none of the citizens of the hamlet was there to greet him, which prompted him to leave a sign to let the residents of Farrenore to know of his visit. Jonathan would discover the sign, and would send out messages to Gammaman1340 to which he replied, after 5 minutes, they would have a back and forth interaction, where he at one point offered him to become a citizen of Vollressal to which he neither accepted or denied the offer, the conversation would then end after Gammaman1340 told Jonathan to visit whenever he so chooses.
 * Jonathan later that day would travel to Vollressal to visit, he had visited before during his journey from Yimmu-Audal through Escharia, it had greatly changed from his last visit. with new housing and large structures being raised in the Town. Gammaman1340 was not in the Town during his Second visit, he had spotted him underground multiple times, with him mysteriously vanishing as he has saw him after 5 back and forth of this, he chose to just leave and placed a sign telling him of his visit before returning home brushing off the incident as probably some misunderstanding.

 * Jonathan would visit Vollressal for the Third Time upon seeing that Gammaman1340 was present at Vollressal on the surface of the Town, on the other side of the lake seemingly busy, he would sit down and began fishing on the Lake. He fished for 10 minutes, before the Man himself came over to see and greet him. They would quietly chat sitting beside the Lake, for a time before he took him on a tour of Vollressal, taking him through his town, from his first build the Inn, to the Castle and then to the Seaside Fort (The makeshift Bunker during times of War). The tour would conclude with the two bidding each other farewell.

The Barend Incident - [October 16th, 2021]


 * While Jonathan and Xarahh was reorganizing the Storage Room of the Hamlet converting chests to barrels they would be visited by two "ill-mannered visitors" under the Player Names of BarendKramer and Yiex who entered their hamlet through the Island's portal which was hidden, with them being heavily suspected to have used unethical means of finding it after much thought after the fact since they had other way of entering the Island without their knowledge. Yiex "began to spew profanity and accusations" At the Residents of the Island causing such a ruckus that even Jonathan and Xarahh would hear the commotion from above with them heading up to investigate, they would remain within the Cabin and attempted to talk to them with it going no where, Yiex was told eventually to leave by BarendKramer who stated "he would deal with the problem" and then proceeded to take off all his armour. Jonathan and Xarahh would leave the Cabin to speak to him face to face, he would then ask them to follow him to the nether to show them his ruined nether portal he then rather aggressively accused the Farrenorers of destroying his portal, pointing the finger directly to Xarahh who has not been online for a entire week up to that point, as well as many other Farrenorers who have not been on the Island on the date specified of the destruction of the Portal which although greatly irritating the two. Jonathan respectfully told him of the Farrenorers being uninvolved with the nether portal destruction and that if he had any sense left in him he would apologize before departing without another word between the two.

Kartek Collapse & Fallout - [October 17th, 2021]


 * The Kartek Diarchy would dissolve from mounting pressures from Internal Strife and External Conflict, that were further hasten from members of the Kartek High Council actions that worsened the situation. The first to exacerbate the situation was the Master of Coin antagonistic and hostile remarks towards one of the Frosterium's High Officials Viewed, which caused the Leaders of the Frosterium to weigh in and getting personally involved in the situation. This was then followed by two coups. First from the Foreign Minister BarendKramer backed by the Frosterium which despite failing was the push that was needed for the Government itself to collapse from within, with the Master of Arms RGBStarship seizing the opportunity backed by the Soleannen Empire of Escharia, to secede to form the Principality of Lansi under their protection. With the fracturing of the realm, Arxstron Korolevski would too petition a plea of protection from the Escharian Empire which was granted with him forming the Vennkirstadt Protectorate, as the entire former country descended into chaos The Frosterium will take the opportunity to claim the entirety of Kartek Lands, warning those who would resist would met by aggression, with the Country in tatters, the newly inaugurated Tzar Solomon Korolevski and Khan Foczo were left with little choice and complied to this, despite this several resistance groups were formed primarily in what was used to be Arxellan Province resisting Frosterium Rule.
