## History

### 485 BBS-376 BBS Herredømme Vann

Around the Years of 485 BBS-376 BBS the Herredømme Vann was the prominent power in the central Highland region of the Northic peninsula. It was ruled by the EkøngsBerg Family but these were replaced by the Ødenberg Family by means of a religious civil war around the year 362 BBS. Between the years of 485 and 362 BBS the Ekøngsberg family had been expanding into neighbouring Kingdoms and lordships expanding the Herredømme. When the Ødenbergs took over they immediately showed more aggressive behaviour. this Aggression was eventually released upon the remaining neighbouring kingdoms of Høyland and Fløvna. When hostilities ceased in 376 a new age began the one of Bakkeland.

### 376 BBS-231 BBS Rikkedømmet Bakkeland

After the dozens of Kingdomships and Lordships united under the Herredømme Vann it turned into the Rikkedømmet Bakkeland with Vann as its Capital. This era is where the concept of the "*six kingdoms"* originates the six kingdoms were: Rikkedømmet Bakkeland, Fjeland, Fjordène, Herredømme skogmark, Havland and the Herredømme Fjälldren which was part of the Kingdom of Ilsatia. In year 213 BBS tensions rose on the Northic peninsula which eventually resulted in a Bakkeland invasion of Skogmark. At this point it's worth noting that the six kingdoms weren't actually Northland, And while the Rikkedømmet Bakkeland is the entity that eventually managed to unite the six kingdoms it wasn't nor isn't actually Northland. In 231 BBS Oscar Ødenberg I was able to Unite the Rikkedømmet Bakkeland, Herredømme Skogland and Havland into Northland.

### 231 BBS- 0 Kingdom of Northland

After Oscar the first united the aforementioned Kingdoms he formed the Kingdom of Northland (Note The Kingdom of Northland is not the same as the United Kingdom and Empire of Northland). During the transition from Bakkeland to the Kingdom Northland Vann remained the Capital as it was and still is the wealthiest city in Northland housing most of the essential resources for the government. In 147 BBS the New Sargonic Empire Invaded Northland starting the Second Sargonic war. The Recently ascended King Annik I Ruled and governed the country from bullmar instead of Vann because it was closer to the active war. This way the troops morale increased significantly since the King himself was overseeing the war. For the Northic army this was such a morale boost they threw them selves at the enemy defences in an almost suicidal charge at the battle of White stone and the Mountain advance. However Vann didn't sit by in silence, while the governing body like the king and military leaders moved to Bullmar the government remained in Vann. After the start of the Runickian Revolution and the Northic march on Cartholon an emergency armistice was signed in Rhantown and a treaty was later signed in Cartholon. After the war Runick and Northic politicians came together in Vann where they officially formed the Runick Kingdom. In 15 BBS Northland went to war against the Osconian empire and the Kingdom of Ilsatia. At first Northland did well however in 13 BBS the Osconian empire got some traction and literally walked through Northland Like it was Northing. In 11 BBS James Ødenberg unexpectedly died due to lung cancer, While it almost destroyed Northland and it's morale it was probably for the better because the Heir to the throne was a certain man named Oscar Ødenberg III. Just days before his inauguration and before he was pulled from the frontlines he won the battle of Wenrich earning him the upmost respect of the Military. After Oscar's inauguration He Replaced Einar Gustafsen with a certain unknown commander named Kristian Obenheim. When Northland won the war a treaty was signed in Vann where the Kingdom of Northland officially united Fjeland, Fordène and the Fjälldren into the United Kingdom of Northland.

### 42 Abs-present United Empire of Northland

While the United Kingdom of Northland is very important it's not very special for the story of Vann however the Northic empire is different. After Oscar III formed the Empire of Northland, Vann suddenly became a center of the world what was once a small Lordship in the middle of nowhere was now an empire in the center of a world trade. It still remains a center of the world to this day.
