Harsengaard

Harsengaard or Fort Harsengaard is a medieval-like fortification located north of the city of Celtenn, in the Duchy of Varmerion, which is a apart of the Aesperium Niedea. Construction of Harsengaard began on February 20th 2022 within the ruins of Kassan (previously also known as Imperium).

Etymology
Fort Harsengaard is named Harsengaard because of the settlers that came to call it a temporary home, whose name were the "Harsengaard", as it used to be called Kassan or the Imperium. Though since that name belonged to settlements that have long since collapsed, the Harsengaards renamed it after themselves, deeming that they are the ones that now call the bastion their own, and therefore it should be named after them.

History
The history of Harsengaard (formerly Kassan) is quite long, spanning back several months. Despite having such a rich history, most of it is lost to time and before restoration efforts began, it lay in ruins for quite awhile before Harsengaards arrived to call the place their temporary home.

Stories of the settlers
A group of tribespeople calling themselves the Harsengaard, that first began as simple hunter gatherers that eventually banded together in order to build in the far east from Sarlatova and Fjllheim without any of the local government's positions. One of these people, AutumnFox started construction on a great sky city that would've been called Avis which these tribespeople would call their home. During construction however, the people of Fjllheim noticed the towering megastructure being built in the sky without their permission, and rightly so, told the Harsengaards to leave, or die. To the tribespeople, their lives were far more valuable and decided to start heading west, far from these unwelcoming lands. After long hours or days of travel, they finally arrive on the peninsula of Drahadad, calling the land they now choose to live upon, Etheria. After getting their bearings they decide to name their settlement the great fortress of Kastamir. However, unbeknownst to them, they were in the nation of Andorn and shortly after settling, the citizens of Andorn forcefully evicted the tribespeople, and AutumnFox and his fellow brothers and sisters now have no place to call a home once more.

Hope for a better future
Achill Zevedeos, a Kesevor for the Imperetor of the Aesperium Niedea, had heard about the woes of these travelers from the east and decides to willingly part with some imperial ruins called Kassan. With no other choice for the time being, AutumnFox led the rest of the Harsengaards to the Aesperium Niedea where they currently reside in the the now renamed, Fort Harsengaard.

Present Day
Parts of the abandoned settlement had to be torn down in order to make the location more defendable from outside threats. The bastion was originally founded by Toastisnice and Hannorey, local Celtennites who prepared the land for the Harsengaards to call their home. Harsengaard today stands as a bastion defending the city of Celtenn from threats that come from the north. Legally it is considered a Celtenn Military installation, but most still refer to it as an informal settlement, at least until the Harsengaards can find a proper home in the Aesperium Niedea.
