[CP] Update 1# (EDEN, Babyboom and Iceland)
•
by bATRA
My fellow eNorwegians!
Its been a busy week and i just want to update you on some stuff!
EDEN
We have elected a new Supreme commander in EDEN. My dear friend van Spijck of Netherland have stepped up to do the work and i honor him for that.
I hope his work will make EDEN more efficent and bring back the brotherhood. Lets get EDEN back to its former glory and enemys shall bow to the greatness of EDEN.
In every combat where for beginning of eHistory the destiny of EDEN was at stake, there were always Norsemen to fight side by side with men of EDEN, and what EDEN feel is that no people has ever been more generous than yours with its friendship.
Babyboom
Stakerauo have written a great summary of how we can create a Babyboom and i hope you all read it. Read here
Remeber that this is not a work for a few men. We need everyone to be part of this project and spread the word of erepublik around!
Iceland
We all know that erepublik map will be updated soon and i want Iceland on the map! We have started to gather up Icelanders on IRC (#eIceland Quakenet)
and ill create a petition in the near future. I need you all to find Icelanders and send me a msg ingame with name(nick). We also need contact with a admin later this week and i'll try to set up a meeting.
This is just a little update and i'll write more later this week.
Our vMoFA Sthanley Heykel hometown of Seyðisfjörður!

My favourite Old Norwegian poem. Is it the same in Icelandic, Sthanley?
Gáttir allar,
áðr gangi fram,
um skoðask skyli,
um skyggnast skyli,
því at óvíst er at vita,
hvar óvinir
sitja á fleti fyrir.

Actually it was originaly populated by Norwegians and later became a free state when exiled Norwegian kings had to flee there during the war of Norwegian unification. Iceland still pledged loyalty to Norway as a kingless vassal in 1262, and as Iceland didn't have any form of monarch or court they did in reality join Norway. Later Norway was transfered to Denmark, but as the Icelanders weren't integreted in to the Danish culture they end up declearing full independence(in 1944 I think)
You silly, that's not town, that's a lake :3
Typeo:

good luck for the babyboom.
"Iceland is an ancient Irish Colony" ahh, thats why they speak ancient Norwegian.
But i don't think Iceland is any good idea. Its to small and will only be grabbed by on of it neigbours if it has resources they need.
@Invaders: The only reason the Norwegians knew of the Island was because of their invasion of Ireland, where they learned from Irish monks who told the tale of the Land there.
Good luck on your Baby Boom o/
Iceland will be certainly an EDEN member!
if eden exists in a few months time

Stakerauo:Almost the same, it sounds like Icelandic with tipos. This is the Hávamál, right?
"@Invaders: The only reason the Norwegians knew of the Island was because of their invasion of Ireland, where they learned from Irish monks who told the tale of the Land there."
That is most likely wrong, the main these was that it happened by accident and that it happened more than once the last thousand years before they decided to settle there. Yes there is some writings of Irish monks being on Iceland for some period, but there is also foundings of Norse items who outdated "Landnámabók mentions" ( i am sure you are thinking of) who also have zero archaeological backing. And if you think of it, why would there be monks there if there was none to convert?
@Sthanley
Yup, it's the first verse! : )
Add Iceland on the map.
