De Sloog



De Sloog was an underground city in the continent of Cymru. Once capital of Shaloma (now part of The Archonial Union) The city remained the capital of the province since the dissolution of the second archonate which helped completely destroy what was left of the underground city.

Founding of the city of Aund ron de Sloog
Back at the VIR last moments, when the rage of war and the wave of destruction crossed the whole continent searching for what was left of the valdrean people. A brave man called upon by God itself guided everyone in the area towards a massive cave hidden from the horrors of the above. Now these people would spend thousands of years hidden from the surface horros, with only a few elders remembering what the surface was really like.

Shaloma creation in-game
The now called De Sloog was the first town of the young nation created by Richard_rk900 (Richard Amphed) and HadenaVision (Hadena Amphed). The city started as a mining base and hideout.

Once the Stoneworks newplayer wave took place, and the server rapidly grew on population And ron de Sloog became an active and productive city, with it's own constitution (that would first pass to be the National shaloman constitution, and finally to the first Viodoxan national constitution), and it's own government system with. At last Sloog was being one of the most active cities on Rathnir at the moment alongside others like Urnu-Arrak or Viodoxa.

Annexation of Shaloma, and Tensions in Blackwater.
The city of De Sloog started to have problems with a nearby city getting into its building territory. This city was called Blackwater. Before war broke out, both the blackwater mayor and the provisional council agreed that blackwater would allow double citizenship to Sloogins, and vice-versa. Blackwater would have absolute power on the surface and De Sloog had absolute power on the underground. All while the provisional council had a blackwater representative.

Two weeks of the player wave passed, Sloog sent a claim update to the cartography guild in Athazolant, and made its neighbors aware of its existence. Once Viodoxa spotted the nation they made a show of force at the city of De Sloog bringing 12 troops on a meeting with the provisional council. The city would then become the main city of the province, and the main source of iron for the nation.

The Ruined City of De Sloog
When the moon got destroyed, the Shaloman province, had to deal with a mass suicide from its citizens. This led to a forceful annexation led by Adytum into the province of Shaloma. This turned the city of De Sloog into a ghost town with all its citizens fleeing. Richard Amphed not wanting to submit to Adytum started plotting against the Viodoxan government alongside the nation of Tortuga, their help, in exchange of the vassalization of the province.

This conflict ended in neither party winning and the city was left to rot. Massive griefing and scavenging for artifacts stormed the ruins. Until a couple decades later, Richard dem Spheniscidae the last person with Sloogin ancestry, died in the ruins giving birth to his child Oliver dem Spheniscidae. His death turned him into the spiritual protector of the city, he takes care of the vast majority of the city and keeps it safe from scavengers.

However, many years after it's ruin, a wandering soul was attracted to the place after drifting in a circle around his home in Shaloma. A nomadic player named Sketjj (Mikael). From then on, Mikael would learn about the place, it's history, and it's failure, taking a personal vow to help the spirit of Richard protect the place as a physical entity, as Richard can only do so much. This was when Mikael took on the Spheniscidae name, with the moniker 'Defen', which cemented his name as Mikael, Defender of Spheniscidae. To this day, Mikael has concentrated on the preservation of De Sloog in historical, visual, and aesthetic points of view.
