Sigtuna

= Sigtuna =

Founding
Sigtuna was founded by Jaxamaxlas on 5/18/21. Jaxamaxlas had been a nomad for 3 months after his town in Ryzan was burned. He came to Najer and decided to build his house next to the mountain near Wobambi-on-sea. Jax had several ideals, he still was angered and wanted revenge against Bardonia who he cliams burned his town. After a few days of exploring Najer and working on Sigtuna he found out that the Emirate Of Najer was allies with Bardonia. Sigtuna started growing and was able to get a few people to move in, although Sigtuna right next to the capital Najer didn't pay much attention, then one day Jaxamaxlas found a man on the coast with a bottle of beer in his hand and was covered in dirt. Bron019. It looked as if he was shipwrecked, he woke up and Jaxamaxlas took him to shelter in a house in Sigtuna and showed him around. Little did both of them know they were about to make history.

The Protest of Wobambi-on-sea
After Bron019 dried up Jax and Bron began talking. Jax was talking to Bron about his town how it was massacred and he had to be a nomad for years! He explained to Bron that he wanted all the citizens of Sigtuna to hold a protest on Wobambi-on-sea the capital of Najer which was walking distance from Sigtuna. Bron019 was still semi drunk and decided to join Jax. So the day came along. the two men had been preparing for the protest. Only two other people joined in on the protest, _Luunas and IronJaw67. Little did they know Luunas was the governess of Andamooka the region Sigtuna is in. They began marching and arrived at Wobambi-on-sea they began protesting holding signs saying Free Sigtuna! Stop Working with Bardonia! Many Wobambi citizens looked outside their windows confused what was happening. It didn't take long for the Najer military to come and put a halt to the protest. They were forced to leave Wobambi-on-sea and headed back to Sigtuna. Whilst on their way home they saw someone, Bron asked “Who are you?”. They didn't answer Jax responded with thinking they were spying on them and began attacking the person. The person ran all the way to the Najer army who was keeping a eye on them, then Jax and Bron got in a fight with Najer troops, they stopped fighting and began making treaties, when all was said and done everyone headed back to Sigtuna and Wobambi-on-sea.

The Sigtuna growth period.
After the protest Sigtuna was pretty humilated and many of the few Sigtuna citizens left the city it was only Jax and Bron left. They both decided not to give up hope and began working on the Sigtuna government, they decided on a republic and wrote down the laws and constitution. They began recruiting members many of which would become the first Counsel of Sigtuna, more and more buildings were being build and more and people came to Sigtuna where it even surpassed the population of many Andamooka cities COMBINED. It was great although there was one flaw in Sigtuna. Political conflict. Although Sigtuna looked like a growing thriving city the counsel never quite clicked. Counsel meetings were held to vote on several subjects and many counselors dreaded the meetings. The counsel was formed of 5 people. The Head Counselor, a person in charge and would be the representative of Sigtuna, Jaxamaxlas. The Counselor of Trade Bron019, they would overview the economy and trade of Sigtuna. The Counselor of Military Cocothedog, would run all militia programs as a general. Counselor of Construction Pinketchup, and Counselor of Natural Resources Balthozar. Each counselor would suggest something and they would all vote, many times arguments were held. Although this seemed like a small problem, what could go wrong?

Dark Days
After Eldhalm was founded many people traveled for new land including Sigtuna citizens, although many didn't move out they were mostly in Elhalm than in Sigtuna causing bandits to begin to coming into Sigtuna freely. Hardly any people walked the street of Sigtuna. Jaxamaxlas sailed to Eldhalm and moved to Druk Yul. Jaxamaxlas caused many problems in Druk Yul and from what Bron019 heard scammed people and said he would burn their houses down. While Jax was doing all that in Eldhalm Bron019 was still in Sigtuna although many people had went to Eldhalm Bron still liked Sigtuna and liked the peace but missed Jax. One day he got a letter from Jax saying he founded a new country in Eldhalm called Flodskurg and wanted Bron to see it. Bron decided he would just go to see it and perhaps take a tour around Eldhalm a bit and come back. So Bron set sail to Eldhalm and landed near a harbour and started walking to Flodskurg. After a hour of walking he arrived and saw Jax talking to another person, they were both armed and wearing armour. Although Bron was a bit confused he walked toward Jax. Before he could say hello he was instructed by Jax to put on a set of armour he was told that he declared war on the country of Druk Yul. Although Bron was confused and asked questions that never got answered he put on a enchanted set of iron armour and got ready to fight, as he was brewing a strength potion the army of Druk Yul came to Flodskag and captured Jax, the other person who was with him ran away and got away. Bron got out of the building he was brewing his potion and saw around 6 soldiers capturing Jax. He was captured as well. They put Jax in a prison and questioned Bron, the leaders of Druk Yul told them all about what Jax had done and told them that they never want to see Jax in Druk Yul ever again and reccomend they go back to rathnir or they will kill Jax. He agreed and signed a treaty to surrender the war. Once Bron and Jax arrived back at Sigtuna they began arguing. The men argued saying that Jax almost killed himself and why would he do those horrible things. Jax cliamed to forgive and forget and leave this in the past, Bron couldn't he knew he did horrible things and this could ruin Sigtuna. Just then Cocothedog was in the area and saw them both arguing after a while Bron told Jax he might as well leave Sigtuna for he is not fit to be a leader, Jax in anger agreed and left Sigtuna and headed foward.

The Exile
After Jax left Bron took control of Sigtuna, this was the time when many people started returning to rathnir and people started immigrating to Sigtuna. Sigtuna continued its growth slowly but they were growing. After a while Bron started to talk to the Emir and many other people in position of power in Najer and started to get Sigtuna more involved with Najer and many people in Najer said they do not approve of Jax which made him think less of him. Although he heard many people saying things about Jax he still missed his friend. There were new counselors elected while Jax was gone and he was the only one that kept office while everyone else in the first counsel failed to be re elected. Bron was getting pretty lonely. One day Balthozar came up to Bron and told him he got a book in the mail. It was a book written by Jax cliaming he was stuck somewhere and it was getting colder by the day and was running out of food, he sent his pet bird to send a book to Sigtuna and find help. Bron knew he had to go save Jax, although he didn't know if Jax was still mad at him he couldn't let his friend die. After a while of traveling he found Jax on top of a mountain almost frozen to death and took him home, Jax thanked Bron for saving him and they both agreed to work together and prosper in Sigtuna.

July Head Counselor Elections
After Jax has came back and along with many of the Sigtuna population. It seemed as if things were going back to normal. Meanwhile Bron019 just resigned from his role of Counselor Of Economy and Trade. He was offered a role as mayor of Pom Nafar and left for a bit. Back in Sigtuna it seemed as if Jax's hatred for Bardonia had came back, during his time in the wild he had become angry. He started disrespecting anyone who said something good about Bardonia and began the Sigtuna militia to grow and a military base in Najer, this made people in Najer dislike him even more becuase some said he had radical ideals. After a while Bron019 signed a form with Jaxamaxlas annexing Pom Nafar into Sigtuna which allowed Bron019 to take his position back as counselor of Economy and Trade, and just in time too. The July Head Counselor Elections were starting, this was big it could change the entire political course of Sigtuna, Jax's contender, current Counselor of Natural Resources Dragonborn. They both debated and it seemed as if they had practically the same beliefs for Sigtuna just differerent ways to execute on their plans. After the debate voting began, after two days of voting it was announced. Jaxamaxlas was re elected as Head Counselor with 61.5 percent of the popular vote and Dragonborn with 38.5 percent of the popular vote. All seemed said and done untill a protest broke out, SilverFrames the citizen who won the Counselor of Military election claimed there was election fraud and began a coup. Jaxamaxlas called on the Mirwa troops to come assist Sigtuna. Mirwa troops arrived and soon enough the main street of Sigtuna was filled with Mirwa troops, Sigtuna troops, counselors, and even some citizens. Silverframes was interrogated and later Mirwa found out that SilverFrames had been running a illegal mafia to take over power in Sigtuna Mirwa did some more investigating and cliamed that Jaxamaxlas had caused several problems in Sigtuna and found out about his support of Ryzan against Bardonia which like I said Najer is allies with Bardonia. Bron019 later went to the Wobambi Forum and they asked to remove Jaxamaxlas from power, Bron019 came back to Sigtuna after the meeting and told Jax, Jax was angered. He then asked to be left alone for a bit which Bron complied with leaving Jax's house and going back to his.

Death Of A Leader
The next day after the Wobambi Forum Bron019 woke up and headed out of his house and found a barrel in front of house he opened it and pulled out a blade, the Sigtuna Fortune, it was a sword given to the newly elected Head Counselor, Bron was confused but got a idea of what was going on, he looked into the barrel once more and found a letter by Jax saying "To the west There was a peaceful land Ryzan... Green and fertile...The people had no need for war....I've gone home....I've gone home Bron I've given you the blade Now goodbye". Bron was confused and worried he announced to the public that it seemed as if Jax had left and that he was the Head Counselor untill he could figure out what would happen. Later that day a bird flew to Jax's house with a letter, just the same way when Jax was in exile, Bron feared the worst, he read the letter. "Hello I am a citizen of the city of Ryzan Carthya, I found Jaxamaxlas body laying in the field. he was holding a Najer shield and I assumed to send a letter to your country, I'll send the body soon if you would like" Bron couldn't believe it. Jaxamaxlas was dead. Just a few hours after announcing he was the new mayor and announced Jax was dead. The people of Sigtuna started mourning, Jaxamaxlas was buried on 7/29/21

New Mayor In Town
With the death of Jax and Bron now taking power, A new era of Sigtuna began. After mourning the loss of his dear friend along with the rest of the city he got to work and met with several official of Najer for ideas to form the fractured Sigtuna government. He met with people such as Raptortheone, Simplyjohn, Vizer Of Mirwa and Dragontypes, Governor of Sicaria. During this time Bron also became close allies with the city of Mirwa even following the God Of Tauros. After Bron did all that he made a new government. He disembodied the Counsel and reformed it into the Ministry. Bron choose his ministry of Kevxboxlive Minister of Military. Dragonborn Minister of Trade and Fianance. Magma Minister Of Construction. Andlast but not least Rowanbower Minister Of Natural Resources. Bron then disembodied the role of Head Counselor and became the Mayor Of Sigtuna and High Marshal Of the Sigtuna military which he would hold his term until either impeachment or resignation. This seemed good and many Najer officials agreed with Bron and saw a clear path for Sigtuna. Citizens began complaining. The Republic of Sigtuna was quite special for its democratic ruling but now slowly it seemed as if it was being taken away from Bron. Bron saw this and realized he needed to boost the morale of Sigtuna. So Bron held the first public Sigtuna Minister Meeting something Jax had never done before. Bron has proposed 4 ideas. Number one the Keeping Sigtuna Clean program. A program which would fix all holes in Sigtuna and make it a less dump of a city. 2. The Godoma Casino Bar Hotel construction. Godoma was a place being constructed to be a casino, bar and hotel which would bring a lot of tourism to Najer and would now be under Sigtuna control. 3. The 7 Sigtuna Reforms. And last but not least Closer allies with Mirwa and spread of the Tauros religion in Sigtuna. All passed with flying colors by the Ministry with for the first time in history all the suggested ideas passed with a full 4-0 vote. Things seemed like they would be going no where but upwards and they did for a while until somehow there was a halt. Sigtuna had focused on expanding they hadn’t really worked on finding new people or maintaining people to stay. Quite a few people left Sigtuna for different opportunities and soon enough there were less people to do the jobs and reforms Bron suggested. A abandoned town south of Sigtuna was given by the Emir to Sigtuna. Bron who did not want run two whole towns gave it to magma his most trusted aide. Magma began expanding quickly and soon enough the new town Skahashi was bigger in size and population than Sigtuna. Governor Lunnas gave Kev (another member of the Sigtuna Ministry) the town of Ohjan and Kev accepted becoming mayor of Ohjan. It had become lonley in Sigtuna, but not lonely like during when Jax was in Eldhalm but now lonely as in abandoned. Bron who was now getting critiqued for removing some of the religious freedom in Sigtuna by advertising Tauros more as the main religion of Sigtuna. Things were looking though but he remembered than in this position all he had to do was do something that would get people intrigued, something that would boost morale, something that would remind people the greatness of Sigtuna. So Bron019 announced the First ever Sigtuna Founding Festival.
