History

Nova Wales

The island of New Norden was first discovered by English explorers in 1654. The Englishmen set up a colony there, Nova Wales, for the colony became a haven for persecuted Welshmen in England. The first settlement, Gwynnedd, grew into a prospering port city and trade flourished between Nova Wales and England, for on New Norden Island, furs and rare fruits were found there.

After fifty years of prosperity, two more settlements were built. These were Georgetowne and Williamstowne. These settlements were built along the Welsh River and grew into prosperous towns. After an raid by the Natives there, the fur trade ended and Nova Wales became forgotten in England.

Nordener Exploration

At about the same time as the founding of Georgetowne and Williamstowne, the Kingdom of Norden sent explorers to the island. These explorers landed on the island's Northern Coast and built the town of New Norden Towne. This town became larger than Gwynnedd and grew into a magnificent city-state. This town was controlled by the Monarchy in Norden and the Colonists were very happy with their government.

When New Norden Towne started to become crowded in 1713, three new towns were created: Port Charles, Mount Firelaile, and Fort Henrydale. These towns did become large towns, but never became as large as New Norden Towne. Churches and schools began to grow in New Norden, and the Colony became the strongest and most valuable land the Kingdom of Norden owned. Norden treated the people of New Norden like actual citizens and allowed the New Norden Assembly to meet, which served as the colonial parliament.

But this happiness would not last forever. In the mother country, a Revolution against the Monarchy began. This would grow into one of the largest wars in Nordenese history, and would become known as the Nordenese Revolution. This war would last for twenty-four years, beginning in 1725. During this period, all attention shifted from New Norden to the Revolution. All ships in New Norden were forced to leave and help aid the Monarchy.

When the war finally ended in 1749, all traces of the Colony of New Norden were no where to be found. The colony became forgotten, for the Nordenese Royal Archives had partly been destroyed in the war. New Norden was left to protect itself.

First Republic of New Norden

Because the Colony became essentially forgotten in the Mother Country, the colonists had to create a Government. This brought about to the creation of the Republic of New Norden, or First Republic of New Norden.

The Royal Governor was chosen to become the first President of New Norden in 1750. At this time, Nova Wales had become forgotten by England as well. The Republic of Nova Wales was formed, but this government was not strong enough to withstand the Native attacks. Georgetowne and Williamstowne were destroyed during a raid by the Natives and the outskirts of Gwynnedd were burned. To make sure that the people of Nova Wales were safe, the Gwynnedd Kingdom of Nova Wales was created and an Alliance was formed between New Norden and Nova Wales.

This alliance was not strong enough though, for Gwynnedd was soon taken over by Pirates. Gwynnedd was renamed, Port Noratoga. To make sure Pirates would not discover New Norden, the New Norden Ambassadors to Nova Wales burned the Gwynnedd Archives.

First Aterionne War

Although New Norden was never discovered by Pirates, New Norden was not safe from Native attacks. This threat became reality in 1821, when most of the Native Tribes were brought into a single empire, the Aterionne Empire. The Aterionnes began to raid the New Norden Frontier in 1822 and burned half the city of Fort Henrydale in 1823. That same year, Aterionne forces marched into Mount Firelaile and pushed most of the residents from the city. The Aterionnes then took over the city and began burning churches and schools to build Temples and Sacrificial Altars to the Aterionne gods. Residents left behind were either enslaved or sacrificed.

This angered all citizens of New Norden and the New Norden Assembly decided to declare war on the Aterionne Empire. This war, which became known as the First Aterionne War, resulted in the complete destruction of Fort Henrydale, Port Charles, and parts of New Norden Towne. When the Aterionne forces had pushed out New Norden citizens from almost half of New Norden Towne, the New Norden Assembly and the Aterionne Supreme Council made plans for peace.

City of New Norden Towne

During the seven years of existing only in New Norden Towne (1823-1830), New Norden became the City of New Norden Towne. This government became a direct democracy and the New Norden Assembly was reorganized into the New Norden Grand Council. The President of New Norden, Jacob Gravesend, actually gave up the Presidential Mansion so that the citizens who had been pushed out from their homes could live somewhere until new towers were constructed.

Second Aterionne War

The Second Aterionne War (1830-1839) began when New Norden citizens burned the homes of Aterionne families living in Aterionne-controlled New Norden Towne, called New Aterionne City. This angered the Aterionne Government and the Aterionnes marched into New Norden Towne and killed twelve families and destroyed 46 buildings, including the Presidential Mansion (Presidential Apartment Complex), New Norden College (Republic Apartment Complex). City Hall was also destroyed, along with the New Norden Palace, the meeting place of the New Norden Grand Council.

New Norden, aided by Atlantian Carolina, marched into New Aterionne City. Many of the residents of New Aterionne City were pushed out and New Norden seized control of the city, which was put back into New Norden Towne. New Norden forces then marched into Porto Caronne (Port Charles). The residents of the city were pushed out and the New Norden flag was again raised over Port Charles. When New Norden marched into Mount Firelaile, they encountered the large Aterionne Army. Although the Aterionnes had more people, the troops from Atlantian Carolina were much stronger than their army.

THe Battle of Mount Firelaile was a New Norden victory, and they marched into Fort Henrietta (Fort Henrydale). The first attempt to take back the fort was unsuccessful, and so was the second. But when they attempted the third time, it was a success. Fort Henrietta was completely gone after all three battles, but the city would later be rebuilt and renamed, Henrysville.

After taking back their former lands, New Norden began conquering Aterionne towns and villages. By 1835, New Norden had marched into the Aterionne capital city, Grand Aterionna. The war would not end until 1839, for even though the Aterionne capital was conquered, the Aterionne Empire would stand strong until even the smallest village was conquered. When the Aterionne Empire ended in 1839, New Norden gave them an area on the southwestern end of New Norden Island to become self-governing with New Norden authority over them. After the war, the Aterionnes, who had become kind after the Imperial Family was murdered, aided in the reconstruction of all of the cities, towns, and villages.
