Minrothad

Minrothad was the smallest and least populous of the Phagosian islands, located at the northeasternmost point of the Phagosian Sea, and was considered an unrecognized micronation that lasted for three days. While much of its lore is unknown, it served as the residence of a settler named "Minrothad Motto". While Minrothad Motto obviously did not exist in actual server history, a player named Viktormies seems to be the only player that resided in this island.

History
Until December of 2020, this island, along with other islands in the same archipelagos, has long been considered as unaligned or unincorporated territory. By the start of December, however, large nations tried to incorporate this island to their own empire without traveling to the island themselves. On December 9th, 2020, the Kingdom of Nieden incorporated the island to its territory. Other nations such as the Kingdom of Coltmaere gobbled up islands south of Minrothad. Some maps in January consider this island to be in the Egalia region. However, when the Kingdom of Nieden was re-established as the Aesperium Niedea, this island has been accepted to be incorporated into this empire. However, no evidence of anyone actually going to this island has been recorded.



The history of Minrothad begins with the settlement of the island by a player named Viktormies on April 23, 2021. He would establish a culture and lore that would flourish for three days. During those three days, viktormies, who was also named Minrothad Motto in Rathnir lore, developed a coat of arms and attempted to establish trade with neighboring nations. On April 25, 2021, viktormies traveled to Dorasterrock to attempt to establish diplomatic relations. However, he was ignored as an alliance would not be beneficial to Bardonia. In fact, in all three days of Minrothad's history, viktormies always had trouble with trade, even failing to sell string. However, he did manage to build a small house on the island of Minrothad and often collected resources from mining and fishing. He promoted his island in an advertisement which read:"'The island of Minrothad sends a call to all of its neighbors and beyond. If you need affordable trade, we are what you seek. Minrothad is but a small and humble island haven, but we guarantee good prices for everyone, no matter the person or the product. We are situated east of ol' Dorasterrock, and we welcome all in the name of our trade philosophy. In Wealth, Joy. So come, and partake in Minrothad's wealth and prosperity. We welcome you all.'" However, Minrothad never developed further. On April 26th, 2021, a tomb was built for Minrothad Motto. This ended the short-lived settlement of Minrothad.
