History of Nordland

The history of nordland is one of the longest. From men living in the algae caves and storm-covered seas like those of Vrøengrad to the Trade capital of the northern hemisphere of Sjøsteingrad.

## BCE

### Beginnings

Many years after the wide spread of humans in the equatorial west, a small tribe of no more than 50 men wandered farther than any had gone before. After hitting a large mountain chain, The wanderers settled down for a thousand years in a bog above 1 km above Sea level. The Years flowed by and soon the tribes that had split from the starting wanderers started dying out. The cause of this was the explosion of a super-volcano in a volcanic archipelago in the far eastern ocean. For near to a decade ash poured from the dark sky and life slowly started perishing. The bog burned down after a dry tree was struck down by lightning. Many died and the survivors headed north away from the hot and dry landscape towards the sea of Sewerund. By this time only 100 men and women remained. When they touched the southern most part of the sea, They split up. With only a few men left the hunter-gatherer group mad way to the west until they reach a large bay covered in fog.

### Pre-Formation of Kysttåkelund

8932 BCE, A lone man traverses across a narrow land bridge into a large rocky Island covered by moss and jagged stromatolites. A storm spins around on the sea just behind. Lightning flashes and waves crash against the steep cliffs. A single hole protrudes from one side. Safety. A sanctuary. The man runs back to his Neolithic tribe that cower further back and together they disappear into the cave. The Island gets shrouded in mist and fog. None get out. Only time will let their Successors out and to the freedom in wich a community gradually builds into a Country.

### Formation of Kysttåkelund

6882 BCE, A powerful earthquake strikes the Nordland. The side of an island slides into the sea and reveals a deep cave. one man stands and looks out at chalcolithic age Nordland. he climbs the narrow path along the cliffside to get to the top of the island and breathes in air that hasn't been breathed in for over 2 millennia. He gathers his tribe and united the three tribes of the seemingly endless tunnel system under the Island unite. Kysttåkelund is formed.

### Kysttåkelund

From 6882 - 1366 BCE Kysttåkelund thrived in the south west area of what is now nordland, Otromenus and Wesland. From there Kysttåkelund Had great access to the sea and was largely accessible. Early on, Kysttåkelund split in two; The Kysttåkelundar and the Böstafâr. The Change happened around 5320 and resulted in a large piece of land being owned by the böstafâr. The Kysttåkelunders rage war upon the böstafâr for the massive chunk of fertile land towards the south. Farming being a new thing is of upmost importance for survival and all want to have their fair share. The war resulted with a draw and the first border is made. Following this war Both sides started an arms race on who could make the most effective weapons and by 5200 Both sides had Technology way too advanced for their time.

Around 5000 BCE Kysttåkelunders invented a shot thin piece of metal with a sharp edge. Sharp enough to cut into the skin and through the muscle. The Bronze age dagger was invented. And so just a few years later a böstafâri army sieged a small village near the border called belapierrå and then proceeded to claim the land on which it sat theirs.

When a few days later a group of ragged dirt covered women and children started arriving at neighbouring villages, the people of those villages came together to bring down their enemies and marched as one to belapierrå. And for the first time they had a leader.

The Invasion was fast with their new copper daggers and soon the men that fled told stories of strange blades that were able to cut through spears, and soon the böstafâr began to fear the growing power to the east. A decision was made later that year to overpower their neighbours to prevent any further major discoveries that could destroy them. And so it was that the following morning the army marched out towards the Kysttåkelundi villages. One by one the villages toppled and the leader of the tribe that was situated on Kysttåkelund, decided to intervene with the böstafâri attack.
