History
The town of Volandia was founded by Emperor Duck, under the name Ducklandia. He arrived on this part of the land and stumbled upon ruins of a previous town Worrikstead. The most intact building left, the temple, became the new center of what is now known as the new town.

The central position, close to the sea and with plenty of fertile soil in the vicinity, made sure that lots of people joined the town. This way Ducklandia quickly grew both in size and strenght. This rapid expansion was then noticed by the neighbouring ruler of Savernia. Soon after, diplomatic conversation started between both parties and they made an agreement in which Ducklandia would join the Kingdom of Savernia.

Together with the rise of people in the town, which would no longer be seen as a town but as a city, the opportunities for conflicts arose. Historical differences between the ruling class resurfaced. And not soon after, the Savernian rulers were called to stabilize the situation. This started a period of uncertainty for the citizens of the Ducklandia. In which multiple people were thrown out of Ducklandia, never to return again. Afterwards a change of leadership, made the dust settle and started a period of peace.

After the squatters did multiple hostile raids on the town, Savernia declared war on the squatters to get them of the land. The war was swiftly won, with almost no losses at the attacking side.
