Ruddersdam

== History ==
For millennia the City of Limuria was the capital of the nation of Limuria and seat of its royal family. It was a land of unique culture and history, with its own architectural style and art forms. However, this age of prosperity would not last.
With the discovery of the new world settlers from Rathnir began to encroach into lands once considered to be Limurian. One such nation was Skjoldrbrodir, a small island nation of Valdic People hailing from the far off western continent of Plagos.
As the Skjoldian settlers advanced ever eastward across the continent more and more conflict brewed with the Natives and war loomed on the horizon. 
The first Battle of the war took place in the city of Limuria, it was an uncoordinated slog in which a draw was the outcome. Though both sides would claimed victory in this battle it would not lead to the resolution of the war. 
Limuria's death sentence would come with the second battle of the war. In which the Limurian army attempted to raid the Skjoldrbrodir colonial capital Steinborg. In the battle the Limurian forces were routed and fled back to the city of Limuria. 
=== Destruction and Limurian diaspora ===
After their defeat Limuria entered peace talks with Skjoldrbrodir, but Limuria owning land on a far away island stalled the peace talks. While they stalled the peace talks the Limurian government secretly sold their homeland to the Imperial Archonate of Viodoxa in order to fund the Limurian relocation to their land on The Isle of Zamotz.
Before most of the Limurians left for good they decided to destroy their own city and cultural homeland rather then let anyone else have it. The once great lake and water ways of the city were filled and the ruins of homes left to rot. In the end the sale of the land to Viodoxa was pointless as they gifted it to Skjoldrbrodir who had won it by right of conquest. 
=== Reconstruction by Skjoldrbrodir ===
With the region coming under the control of Skjoldrbrodir Jarl Gustavas Villhorn ruller was given control of almost all former Limurian lands forming the colonial Jarldom of Nyr Villhorn. With his new Colonial Holdings the Jarl set to work rebuilding the city. Its waterways were excavated and expanded into a vast canal system giving the Newly christened city of Ruddersdam sea access. It was at this time that one of the Jarls Friends began construction on the cities most famous land marks; 
=== Rise and fall of Gardenia ===
After being part of Skjoldrbrodir for some time, things began to fall apart. Gustavus, seeing that Skjold was dying, declared his independece and with Nyr Villhorn he formed a union with Velenu, and became a protectorate of the Valrean-Catanian Commonwealth, later Drakaen Commonwealth. Gardenia was then granted independence where they had a prosperous time. In order to restore Limuria, Imperius (Yourimperialism), Draphonaris (Draphonaris) and Blake (Balake) declared war on Gardenia. They fought hard but they lost the battle of Astrantia, and Ven declared the dissolution of Gardenia. Choas ensued and finally, they all came together under Limuria. Today Ruddersdam sits as a sort of second capital to Limuria under the ownership of Samai the 4th (MikeyMincraft)
