Norstaeyya

Norstaeyya is a town situated in Anglunian, in the region called the Three Fingers, in south Elastra. On the Eldham map Norstaeyya is approximately located 4000 blocks to the north west of spawn. The town is currently lead by Livya Dardellan-Lochatlan.

Pre history
The region Norstaeyya is located in is called the three fingers. This region have mostly hosted humans but in later years a race of ice elves known as Yirsi made the region's dark oak forests their home. However, with the discovery of agriculture they started to migrate into the plains west of Arrowfell.

The founding
When Anglunia did a land trade with Aristios in the spring of 113 TE they had the ambition to found a new town. Eliyawin Yinower-Nuwan (IGN: JohnnyDJackson) the Anglunian Yirsidani at the time let her brother Feyer Yinower-Nuwan (IGN: MystLovre_) found the town. Feyer decided to call the town Norstaeyya meaning Northern Beauty in Yirsi'tal, the language of the yirsi. The town was officialy founded in the summer of 115 TE (IRL date: 31 december 2021) and Feyer Yinower-Nuwan was declared Onsyr (lord) of Norstaeyya.

The early days (january 2022)
Feyer began his work on the town by constructing a few houses. The houses were built in the typical yirsi housing style, unlike most other towns in Anglunia. Those houses have become heavily associated with Norstaeyya. During theese early days a few new people joined the town. Among them the future Onsyr, Hadanna Alsey-Lochatlan (IGN: HAMOD_DAD).

The resigning (february 7 - february 18)
Feyer Yinower-Nuwan resigned from his position as Onsyr of Norstaeyya during the winter of the year 115 TE. The new Onsyr was announced in the winter of 126 TE, Iliphar Ilyhuryn-Dagella (IGN: JellybeanVT). Even if he was one of the most skilled enginers and architects in the nation, he was a foreigner and not a Norstaeyyan local as the people there would've liked. So when Iliphar announced that he was planning on destroying the whole town and build another one with a completly different style, the people were outraged. After some diplomatic arguements (discord PvP) Iliphar Ilyhuryn-Dagella resigned in the autumn of year 126 TE. The only active player in the town was Hadanna Alsey-Lochatlan, so in the autumn of 127 TE she was declared Tilonsyr (lesser lord) of Norstaeyya. The reason Hadanna wasn't an Onsyr since her appointment it's because of Norstaeyya's small population at the time.

The developing (february 18 - april 30)
Hadanna Alsey-Lochatlan took over a small town with an inactive population. But she was dedicated to make Norstaeyya a respectfull town. The first build she did was the iconic Norstaeyyan temple dedicated to the Arternaian Goddess of Ilonnis, she is the Goddess of beauty and pride. Hadanna also layed out plans for a new recidancial district known as Umnarabad (meaning Spruce hill), a town farm, a statue representing the Angel of Norstaeyya and a cactus farm. During the developing Hadanna recruited many new citizens, most notably CeoOfGoogle who made it in to the Anglunian vindyi (senate) in the april elections.

The boom (May 1 - December 27 )
This period started with Hadanna Alsey-Lochatlan taking on the task to construct Anglunia's national ice race track. To help her she hired Warrie von Fyra-Tjugo (IGN: WarriorFalls). As the two worked together they became good friends and Warrie, who previously lived in isaz, decided to permanently move to Norstaeyya after finding more friends within the town, most noteably Mash Dardellan-Lochatlan (IGN: FuyunekoMashiro). After a while Warrie proved himself worthy and got asigned as Onsyr'dal (second in command of the town).

During this period Norstaeyya's population grew to the point that it became the biggest town within Anglunia. This also meant that it was growing physically too. Many new projects like the University, the Town Hall and the Norstaeyyans Walls came into being.

The plague (December 27-)
Around the year 205 TE a plague spread through the town of Norstaeyya, leading to a large population loss. The same year Hadanna was killed by her own son, Hadon. The latter couldn't endure the regret of having killed his own mother and would go on drowning himself in the river close to Norstaeyya's slums. After the death of Hadanna a new Onsyr was chosen, Livya Dardellan-Lochatlan, her daughter.

Arternaia
Arternaia is the state religion of Anglunia and was also that way brought to Norstaeyya. Norstaeyya was founded by a Juncist believer but the main religion there was Arternaian. Arternaian history is short and uneventfull but Hadanna Alsey-Lochatlans Arternaian beliefs was the reason for the construction of the Norstaeyyan temple, this temple would altough later be repurposed to a Soleviel one.

Soleviel
Hadanna Alsey-Lochatlan converted to Soleviel in the year of 146 smp but officially got baptised in the winter of 149 smp and with this the temple of Norstaeyya followed. The lack of realigous Arternaians in Norstaeyya made this convertion flawless, with even the founder Feyer Yinower-Nuwan who had just started to become more active in Norstaeyya converted. Norstaeyya was the first town in Anglunia who became Soleviel. With time Soleviel died down in Norstaeyya and after the Arternaia reform Hadanna converted back.
