Stormgova

The island of Stormgova is a district in the Simulami Empire. It has a unique culture and history that survived the test of time.

People of Stormgova

Arrival
Stormgovans first arrived on boats thousands of years ago. A lot is unknown about their origin, however it is believed that they were heading north from the south with roughly five to ten ships. They got lost in a storm and landed on the north west of Stormgova near the town of Samhalle.

The leader of the fleet stood on top of a hill raising their flag of Light Blue, White and Grey over the horizon trying to make the best of a bad situation. They started gathering wood and eventually built a few houses while they attempted to repair their ships. Their leader created a system of government. It was called the Samhalle System and it governed how early Stormgovans organised themselves. The Patriak was on top as a sort of elder who had the power to Veto and had the final say in everything. The Harskare was a man appointed by a council of players who would rule over Stormgova officially. They would be in charge of most decisions such as setting up towns, running the military and early expeditions around the island.

After a few months, Stormgovans would claim the town of Samhalle. A man named Harald Orben created the first rough map of Stormgova consisting of much of the early coastline, rivers and forests. By this point, most people were living in the town of Samhalle and a few began setting up forts on the sea side.

Return of Schmaggerd
A few years before Eldham was discovered by the people of Rathnir, a man named Schmaggerd Von Svarkor of house Svarkor was chosen as Patriak. Much of his history is unknown, but he was certainly descended from a long line of Harskares and Patriaks, Schmaggerd was in charge of Stormgova for many years and started a golden age after many claimed that he looked similar to the first Patriak.

During this time, Gezarg was chosen as the Harskare, he was arbitrary and spent much of his time gambling, however he stayed in power until a better replacement, Mansmile Svarkor was chosen At this point, The land of Eldham was discovered and Stormgova would change forever.

Stormgova was given threats by outside powers. There was a nation called Simulami, lead by the Sovereigns Cadexii and ZenoHUN, who offered to help Stormgova and spread more technology to them.

There was a civil war in Simulami, Schmaggerd and Mansmile opted for Stormgova to remain neutral, letting Stormgovans fight on whichever side they wanted to if they volunteered, but not showing complete support to either side. Most Stormgovans, including people like Seal Hrafn, someone who would grow to be a warrior and one of the main commanders of the Simulami military, decided to support Zeno's side as it would be more beneficial for them in the long run and because Zeno occasionally made visits to the island.

Eventually Schmaggerd and the Imperare, Zeno Maestro grew closer and closer to the point where Stormgova was integrated into Simulami under a treaty signed by Mansmile, Schmaggerd and Zeno. This treaty would mark a new beginning from Stormgova as people from all over the empire would flood into Stormgova, diluting its culture.

Many years after the treaty was signed, Historians at the library of New Jellhem would agree that this was the moment when the line between fiction and fact became clear and Stormgovan History became fact, where as everything before this moment would have some level of uncertainty because Stormgovans had a habit of not recording historical events in books, instead they passed on information by mouth. When Stormgova was fully integrated into the empire in became the year 0SY because everything after that point was written in books and everything before could be merely fiction.

The Harskare and Patriak would be abolished and Stormgova would become its own regency with Seal Hrafn at the top. There would also be two districts created, Notusa in the south and Vetr in the north.
