Erenova

Erenova is an island city, situated on the homonymous island, separated from Ocotlan/Phagos by a narrow channel.

It borders with Mikir and Vont to the east and north east, with the Phagosian sea to the west. It was founded by BitJules, on March 10th 2021, with the construction of the first floor of its oldest building: Tor Erenova.

Erenova has two main ports: Port Ninfea and Port Fourier. It currently has two members.



Humble beginnings
BitJules started as a nomad, and went through a journey that would lead him to Erenova. From the jungles of Vastallos, sailing through the Phagosian sea, on March 10th, he ended up on a small, rocky island. The steep coastline and cliffs inspired the Nomad to settle there. He carved a dwelling inside of a sea facing cliff, started building an upper floor above the mountain, and called it Tor Erenova. Construction of the tower would gradually continue. A bridge connecting the mainland to Erenova was built.

At this point BitJules realised that he settled on a projected claim of the Huitca Federation, but decided not to declare his presence immediately. In the meantime, construction of a new tower would start. The new one faces mainland Ocotlan, close to the channel, and it took the name of Tor Guardia.

Strangers and Freaks
On the 15th LeSgHsW, friend of BitJules, joined the server. On the same day, another friend, Somnolent_Mike, joined. They were both taken in Erenova, as their first home. They occupied the rooms in Tor Erenova. Somnolent_Mike proposed and helped in the construction of walls around the central area of the island.

On the 17th of March, the inevitable happened: Vickett, Hoxi of Vont, noticed the settlement and left two signs in front of the bridge exit. He called out Erenova, as it was in Huitcan projected claims, and offered a peaceful resolution through dialogue. Unprompted, Somnolet_Mike contacted Vickett. As BitJules was occupied, he agreed on letting him finish the meeting.

On the same day, LeSgHsW decided that he would move out of Erenova, to become self-governing. He found an unclaimed island, and created the settlement of MaremmanoLand. BitJules and LeSgHsW still have close ties.

The Summit
After the first discussion between the two, a part of Ocotlan's southern bit was donated to Mike. He decided that it would become part of a new duchy, Mikir. As the status of Mikir and Erenova still needed some clearing, another meeting was called.

The summit took place in the conference room of Tor Guardia on the 20th of March. BitJules, Somnolent Mike, LeSgHsW and Vickett participated. There, the Ducky treaty was written, which stated the integration of Erenova and the future duchy of Mikir into the Huitca Federation. The duchy of Mikir was formally created (defacto non existent), consisting of the southern mainland and Erenova. The whole of Mikir would be under the Calpolli of Vont.

For the treaty to take effect, BitJules needed to ratify it. That would only happen once he left Erenova, as citizenship from another land was pending.

''The server would get hacked shortly after. A rollback world was loaded, and so,'' the physical copy of the Ducky Treaty was lost.

The Creation
The 23rd of March the first Erenovan claim was purchased in Tor Erenova. All of the island would be claimed throughout the day. Some time after, the first Mikirian land claim was also bought.

Around this time, the first port "Port Ninfea" was consolidated and given a name. It took its final circular shape, setting up the work to transform it into a small port, functioning as an appendix of Tor Erenova. It seemed like Erenova had a bright future ahead of itself.

Sadly, the times of peace and stability would abruptly end.

The Conspiracy
Somnolent Mike desired Erenova, but he would control it only if and when Bitjules left for another land (citizenship still pending). Mike couldn't wait any longer and so, he started conspiring against his friend: He ordered a mercenary to kill BitJules.

The murder was consumed on the 25th of March. Both BitJules and LeSgHsW were killed by the hitman. Somnolent Mike stole armor and weapons from the corpses, and used them instead of his.

Mike, now known as "the usurper" requested full control over Erenova. Intense discussions would follow this event. It all culminated when the usurper declared all out war on Erenova. BitJules negotiated and the two agreed to proclaim a white peace, in exchange for 1000 payed by BitJules.

The conditions to this white peace were that the situation of Erenova would "go back to how it was before [the usurping]", and that both parts would respect eachother.

The fact that the agreement was verbal, and the ambiguous nature of the whole deal, would set the stage for future events. Mike would claim that BitJules was a vassal of Mikir, and that all decisions would have to go through his judgement. As Jules didn't agree to these conditions, tensions would once again flair up.

Buildings
The main building is Tor Erenova, the first one in the island (E. Ocotlanii), built on top of and inside of a cliff facing the Phagosian Sea.

Tor Guardia is a castle facing the river, intercepting the walls.

The walls are wooden, and surround the whole island.

The bridge is the only connection to mainland Ocotlan, it is arched, with a small gate lodge.
