History
Here is a history of how Wennal was founded.
- The log book of HMS Voyager and written by Rear Admiral Timothy Newberry CGL:
- 6:00am, 9th June
- We are headed for the region known as Empires of Earth. We are still searching for a land to capture and claim for Olaubia.
- Weather: Sunny
- Water: Calm
- =================================================================
- 11:14am, 9th June
- The crew have spotted land on the horizon and we are sailing towards it.
- =================================================================
- 12:33pm, 9th June
- We have landed on quite a big island, which is a few miles away from the mainland coast. After sailing around the island we have found a smaller island to the east and further exploration reveals to smaller islands to the south. I have sent out expedition parties to explore the separate islands.
- =================================================================
- 3:56pm, 9th June
- Reports tell me that the the large island and the small island to the east are inhabited by natives who are prepared to defend their land whatever the cost. I have no other option other than to order the troops to seige both the islands and then claim the two islands to the south. These are not inhabited, but are used as hunting grounds.
- =================================================================
- 6:03pm, 9th June
- The seige went well. Most of the natives surrendered and are now in our service. I have decided to keep the names of the islands used by the natives.
- I am proud to state that these four islands are now a crown dominion of Olaubia and shall be called Wennal.
After that a Govenor-General was appointed to lead Wennal and report back to HIM King Alexander.
