Crotania

Crotania, translating to "The Land of the Crops" is a town located in the Iksee Province of The Kingdom of Leyden.
== Early Days of Crotania ==
=== The Nomadic Farmer ===
On the Summer of 9 VE, what seemed like a normal day turns into a nightmare for the Phantoms. The farming village the Phantoms had resided had been razed by warmongering tribes who brutally murdered everyone in sight. By the end of the day almost everyone in the village had been murdered except for one young Phantom. Who had managed to escape and run far away from the village.
With nothing but an axe, a hoe, some wheat seeds and a few gold ingots the young Phantom travelled far south through mountains and seas hoping to find the right place to set up home and revive his tribe. Trading with local towns as he passed and gaining knowledge the young phantom eventually stumbled across a suitable green land near a Stoney shore and decided to build his settlement there.
this settlement will later be known as Crotania. This young Phantom will later on be known as Reginald Crotanius, the founder of Crotania.
=== A New Home ===
On the Spring of 11VE, Reginald decided to build a small hut and plant some of the seeds he initially had and some that he had bought from the towns he had visited. after seeing the lush crops that had grown from his hard earned work he decided to name the settlement "Crotania" in honor of his tribe. 
Over the years, Reginald had also learnt how to fish near the Stoney shores amassing a decent amount of fish and treasures which he sold to neighboring towns. This temporary peace however would be short-lived.
=== Arrival of Hälge ===
Following the fall of Geraria into the hands of Federation of Halge. Several Hälge envoys had surveyed the new territory only to find the small settlement on the outskirts of their newly acquired land. 
Reginald was then given a choice to either sell his settlement to Hälge or get warred upon by Hälge. After careful calculations Reginald decided to sell Crotania for 20k to Hälge and the deal was sealed peacefully between the two parties. The settlement would then be renamed as Geruq and become the new provincial captial of Hälge.
saddened by this Reginald had then decided to travel south east and stumbled upon an enormous dark oak forest. And on the Spring of 14VE a new Crotania would then be created.
=== Integration into Leyden ===
With a stable bank balance and an abundant supply of crops and food, Reginald began to clear out some parts of the forest and create a new settlement there. laying foundation to modern day Crotania. With an optimistic mindset the young Reginald had high hopes for this new land, as not only was it lush in greenery it was also hidden from foreign nations. Or so he thought.
On the Fall of 17 VE, a Leydish royal going by the name of Wormpje had found this settlement bordering Iksee and Leyden on neutral lands and offered Reginald to join Leyden in exchange for the land. Reginald would become a mayor in the Kingdom and his land would be protected by Leyden. Knowing this was a good offer Reginald decided to join Leyden and on the same day the settlement of Crotania would become a town in Leyden.
