Kalmar Islands

Kalmar Islands

The creation of Kalmar Islands The actually islands that make up Kalmar islands came into being after the great cataclysm on the east island. This is discussed in detail here: Bad Tidings The cataclysm involved various cults, prophets, destruction, civil wars, ill omens, etc. all most mysterious. After such instances, the great mountain on Chaos Island burst forth spewing ash which for days darkened the skies over the whole continent. When thge sun's light began to pierce through and the ash subsided three islands were formed west of the east continent. Soon brave, and adventurous young settlers began homesteads and businesses in their new city Kalmar. Monks from the mainland came to see the enigmatic new temple "Chaos Temple" that appeared on one of the islands. The regions were settled into, and the new land was ripe for conquest. But it was not foreign powers that fought to take the islands. Instead a new realm forged from the peace of long enemies, Old Rancagua and Perdan. Ten nobles from each realm formed a colony in Kalmar city and began to invade the surrounding regions. At this time two events occured. The colony was granted independancy and considered a realm in it's own right and a large amount of nobles flocked to the area. These nobles began a swift conquest of all three volcanic islands. In this they suceeded, but at a cost. Many a man lost his wealth and soldiers. Scarcity of goods for repairs plagued the realm for a short time. But regardless, Kalmar Islands first priority, the unity of the three islands under one banner was complete.

A look to the Future

Kalmar Islands has finished the conquest of the three islands. Political stability is returning. We now are in the predicament of

A)Finding a way to make more gold.

B) Choosing what direction the realm will go in.

C) The ever present monster threat.

D) A very low population

We are not in any wars currently, and have had proposals of beocming a trading state. These haven't been overwhelmingly supported. Kalmar's nobles are from far and near, from both allainces, making most wars somewhat difficult to do without popular support or financial and military strength. But regardless of what Kalmar Islands position will be. In unity we have strength.

The future of Kalmar Islands is as bright as the fiery embers of the volcano from which the islands were formed.
