Novishk

Novishk is a Tortugan town in south eastern Sørligste. Constructed from the ruins of an abandoned Frostmarch keep (see Sutherlind), Novishk was established on July 16th, 2021. It remained an independent state until August 16th, 2021 when the people of Novishk elected to join The Pirate Empire of Tortuga. Since then, the city has steadily expanded with the construction of various farms, storage houses, and the moderately successful Griffin's Keep Tavern.

Novishk is officially governed by King Alex Rytier I, although day-to-day managements are overseen by Temsyod.

Founding of Novishk
In the wake of Frostmarch's recession of influence following the southern expansions of Tortuga, many of the smaller and less significant towns of the former united Sørligste were left abandoned and ungoverned, including the former keep of Sutherlind. Due to lack of accurate records concerning the history of Sutherlind, it is unknown when the keep was abandoned, or when Frostmarch influence on the land subsided.

The founding of Novishk occurred in July of 2021 when Valdic religious nomads happened upon the keep while searching for a place to settle. Inspired by their good fortune, the settlers constructed the Novus Obelisk in the heart of the keep, as a tribute of thanks to their patron deity.
