Northport

Northport is the Port City of Aurora located in Northern Aurora, on the Continent of Haven. Founded in 2021, it has continued to be the hub of fishermen and Merchants and remains the 2nd Largest City within Aurora, and rivals many Nations with a population of over 100. Northport is situated in a Desert, known as the Wet Dunes. The City was founded by House Ganeffs, now known as House Seratamo, but was soon after passed onto House Via Sinclair, but is now with House Steelflex with the current Mayor, Boris Steelflex.

Founding
The Ganeff Family started its reign under Sir Ganeffs, Patriarch of House Ganeff. His advisors consisted of his adopted son, Sir Ward “Bourbonknight” Ganeff, his brother Sir Jackson "Steelflex" Ganeff & “Sixes”. Under their administration, the town began its life and later saw a big Northern Expansion of Northport to what is now known as Gulls Parkway and Stingray Street.

In December 2021, Sir Ganeffs was called to serve as the regent Emperor after Emperor Aurelian stepped down. As such, the Ganeff family continued their rule of Northport under Ward Ganeff. It was during this period that Ward Ganeff would become the 2nd Regent Emperor and on March 12th, 2022, and would transfer power to Sythe Via Sinclair, hence starting the Via Sinclair Administration, with Antonius Drake of Noble House Drake serving as Secretary.

The Battle of Northport
On November 18th, 2021. Northport would see the Battle of Northport, during the Uldarashi Civil War, where Loyalist Soldiers would attempt an offensive on the then Port Town. However, one civilian was able to dutifully defend his home until Uldarashi Forces were able to arrive to defeat the threat - the Iron Soldier. He was recalled as such due to the armor he donned & his ever-true Ironclad Spirit. He would still be praised in Modern stories for his sacrifice for his City.

Segra Raid
Later on the 25th of May, 2022. The City would be subject to the terror of Segra’s Followers and would see a quick mobilisation of Auroran Forces to defend the City against the forces of Evil. A Statue would later be installed in the Fishers Row District to commemorate the defense and a quote held close in Northport Citizen Hearts, “Northport Endures, Northport Prevails”.

The Northport War
On June 22nd, 2022, Former leader Ganeffs declared war on Northport, with the intention of taking over Northport, and subsequently the entire Kingdom of Aurora. With the support of the N.D.A Alliance, he would begin for the war ahead in what is referred to as the  'Northport War'.

On June 28th, 2022, Northport was sieged by the N.D.A Alliance in what is known as the 2nd Battle of Northport. This battle saw the most damage to the City, and a great deal of losses. During this period, Ganeffs would be disowned by his own Family, who changed the Ganeffs Family name to House Seratamo. Secretary Antonius would also partially retire from his position of Secretary, with James Pond being promoted from the Northport Sub-Committee in his place.

On July 7th, 2022, the 3rd Battle of Northport was a great defensive victory for Aurora, allowing them to go on the counteroffensive & capture the claim of Annover's Savras. Towards this time, the War Effort on the N.D.A Alliances side had soon fallen a part due to infighting, the sudden collapse of N.D.A Nations and a lack of finding a City within the Alliance in which could go against the Port City of Aurora, this would lead to the end of the Northport War, and a long and needed peace.

A New Age
A year after the NDA War, on July 5th of 2023, previous Secretary Boris Steelflex - Cousin to Ward Seratamo, son of the city's primary builder, Jackson Ganeff - was given lordship of the City as its Arutor, with Sythe retaining his title of Margrave as he headed off into retirement to live out his old age in the Walls of the Castle that still stood strong.
