RiverGate

A city found between two Rivers, spilling into two seas. The city was founded for merchants by merchants and strives every day to follow its missions to bring wealth and riches to all its noble citizens.

Settlement and Forge Period
The city was founded on August 3rd 2021 by the trader known as Rumpelstilskin. After spending time in the town of Averia serving a trader, which at the time was apart of the Ver-Ecrium region of The Forge, he had amassed a sizable sum of wealth. With it and a small following he had was driven to create his own settlement. He had a dream of finding a place where his trade could prosper and merchants from across Eldham could converge. He traveled east to a small string of land between two rivers. It was in the southern Azuma-Zi region at the time in the center of the The Forge. It seemed to be a perfect bit of land for the new settlement. He claimed the land and set down the first foundations of the town that would be known as Wildonia (The first page mentioning the settlement). For the first few weeks of building the settlement attracted a few travelers and traders to join it. Soon the settlement became a town with its own walls, docks, government buildings, and farms. All was good, except for the fact the the town was technically a squatter settlement. The region of Azuma-Zi had not given Rumpel the right to build on the land. Luckily with some careful wording and smoothing over Rumpel managed to make a deal with Azuma-Zi and for a short time the town became offically apart of the region.

Wildonia's growth was rapid. Becuase of this the town was soon relabeled a city. It was at this time that the city was also recognized by the Forge. During this time in the Forge the RiverGate Trading Company was founded by Rumpel. The name was created early on to be used as a name for Rumpel's trading but it was at this time that the company was officiate. The approximate date is sometime around August 11th 2021. The company was fully integrated into the city's economy. Without it the city would lose much of it's income and job opportunities.

The fall of the Forge on August 22nd 2021 created an opportunity for Wildonia. As the Nation disolved into it's individual regions Wildonia was of course held by Azuma-Zi. Mayor Rumpel recognized that Wildonia had a culture too different from it's host nation and a destiny separate from it as well. After some negotations and a sizable payment the city was granted it's independence. This marked the beginning of the city state period.

City-State Period
This period began sometime immediately after the fall of the Forge around August 22nd. Wildonia had bought small portions of its lands from both Azuma-Zi and Eleanor. The land granted was small but accommodating for the size of the city at that point. It was decided at this time that the leader of the city-state would be known as the High Ruler. With the new burdens of nationhood High Ruler Rumpel
