Alta Arbor

Alta Arbor is a city located in the Sinterish Kingdom (Sinterland) region. It was founded by TheXboxCraz109 and Lupus-Rex. It can be found next to the Everwind River, close to Edishield, Sinterland. City is on Eldham. The city was created on October 22nd, 2021.

Alta Arbor means 'tall tree' in Latin. Named because of tall spruce trees that were on the island. (They are gone now)

The owner, mayor and main founder of the city is TheXboxCraz109.

## The History Of Alta Arbor:

**In order to better explain the history of Alta Arbor, we have to explain the history of Sinterland. (This may go away soon and be put on its own Wiki Page.)**

Before Sinterland ever existed, the territory was under foreign rule, namely Viodoxa, a nation in Rathnir. The land that Sinterland and Alta Arbor are on, used to be part of the viodoxa colony named Klea, or Duchy of Klea. (Though Alta Arbor is on land that was not techinally part of Klea at that point.)

### The annexation of Viodoxan colonies and The Goons War

    Sometime in 2021, the goons declared war on Viodoxa, and raided Sun's Gate (now known as Goonsgate). Sun's Gate was a city in Klea. As I don't know fully what happened, I cannot tell the full story here. Essentially, Viodoxa lost, and Goonsguard annexed Klea. Sun's Gate was raided twice, both battles lost. Edishield was allowed to exist under a vassalship known as Sinterland. Eventually, Sinterland gained more land. TheXboxCraz109 and Lupus-Rex would later return, and join Sinterland. (After deciding to head to Ahalia, another viodoxa colony after the fall of Sun's Gate.) Sinterland expanded/lost land and became what we see in the map on the right. (though some land has since been gained on that map, and some not on that map.)

### Short Independence

Sinterland was able to buy its freedom from being a Goonsguard Vassal, It also gained the land that Kenai County is at on that map.

### Returning to Viodoxa

The leader Azara Mcspiegal, would later bring Sinterland back under Viodoxa ownership or depending on how you look at it, the first time that Sinterland would techinally be a part of Viodoxa. This would not last long though, as Viodoxa's former government would fall.

### More Independence

Yes, Sinterland gained independence again when its leader declared it. This might be the shortest but most hopeful time as we thought it might last a bit. One of the biggest reasons for this declaration was because Viodoxa fell and was replaced by a leader that the leader didn't like, and a bit of fear that sinterland might not get a chance again if we didn't do it now. idk lol

### Forced Annexation By Ahalia

Ahalia threatened war if we didn't surrender and join them, they claimed they only wanted to unite the two former viodoxan colonies. But we were hardly given the chance to say No, because as I said before, they threatened war on us if we didn't comply. (For context, Ahalia is a former viodoxan colony far away, that's funnily enough now dead, lol.)

### Independence and Avaria Takeover

The leader as they owned land in Avaria or was a leader in Avaria, im not exactly sure how it went along. Anyways, the leader Azara integrated Sinterland into Avaria/Regonia. Avaria would later collapse though, causing some sale to AWE (cant remember as it happened so fast, more to be written soon.)

### AWE Purchase, New Government & The Three City Union

In the present day, we were later sold to AWE by Azara. During this time, more citizens joined Alta Arbor. Alta Arbor grew, and Sinterland/Sinteria grew with it. Sinterland would later unite the 3 cities, Edishield, Kenai, and Alta Arbor under the ownership of Alta Arbor. Alta Arbor would become the capital as it became bigger and ‘stronger’ than Edishield mostly with activity and development idk. Aero would become the new leader, after azara left. (this happened before the uniting of the 3 cities.) Thus, Alta Arbor is pretty much Sinterland, and Aero would later give TheXboxCraz109 governor and ownership over Sinterland. During this period the towns ideology shifted from a monarchy to a republic.

## Geraria

On the 12th of September 2023, the A.W.E and Geraria signed a land trade where the A.W.E would get Luxendef and in return for Alta Arbor.

## Other Developments

Various projects are being undertaken at all times in Alta Arbor. It's a rapidly expanding town, and it won't stop expanding until the entire island reaches the head builder's expectations. Some residents undertake personal projects, and they are allowed to unless it interrupts the vision of the head builder.

Besides physical development, Alta Arbor has created it's own trade company. Aptly named The Alta Arbor Trading Company, not much is known about its plans.
