Hageltand

Hageltand was a traveller, a skilled one indeed. He came from the USSE, Crosotex, where he was born. He wanted to know where his forefathers came from, so he wandered. He wandered the trip his forefathers took, he wandered to rathnir. In rathnir he found his calling. Deviks in the UBSR needed his help; it was in ruins; it was deserted. He quickly climbed through the ranks. He became the mayor, and the magistrate of Deviks. With the help of the people he met along the way, he is restoring Deviks to its former glory.

And just in time, enemies were at the horizon. Against Bardonia, which the UBSR and its allies after long fights triumphed over. This war was the turning point of Hageltand's life. He no longer ruled over just one semi-ruined city, he now ruled over a city which needed much funding and a big district.

The war gave its problems, one of which was a huge squatter problem. Hageltand went back to wandering, but this time, only over his jurisdictions. He found the Outback, a friendly cult in the mountains of Deviks. These people, after meeting them for the first time, he never saw again. While he was on his journey through Deviks (district), one squatter group went under his radar. Maybe that was, looking back now, a good thing, it was Envy. Envy made a powerbase, a big citadel. Those bastards tried to take everything from Hageltand away, they tried to rule. But that was futile, the UBSR crushed them, we crushed their fort and took it. The beautiful citadel, the prize of prizes, just handed to me. The Crimson Citadel became with Hageltand's help a big military compound, one under UBSR control. It took a lot of hard work but the UBSR made it the best citadel ever.

But soon, more problems arose, Magisterium decided to declare war on the UBSR, in clear violation of their NAP. But other nations, some also breaking their NAPs joined anyway. And all for what? Because we are socialist? Because we have freedom?! In this war panic, the UBSR turned to Frosmyre, to secure one of its only allies in the war...

But the cost was immeasureable. The UBSR got merged with Frosmyre, only hoping to quell the Magisterium threat; which never came. Frosmyre against the wishes of the UBSR people, saw that it only fought the Magisterium because of the now crumbling UBSR. And it decided, not to fight the Magisterium, but to merge with it instead, thus betraying the UBSR people. The UBSR lay there, united in a country that they needed to share with their then worst enemies.

And Deviks was in trouble too, due to the new state (Frosterium) not being able to foster the collaboration the UBSR used to foster, which Deviks relied on. With Deviks relying on him, it might take a toll on him. But to what extent will he go to keep it up? Well, that's a future tale to tell...
