500-510 AD In 503 AD, the First Head of Council under the new agreement – Patrick Brickson – fell ill and died, naming his son, David Brickson, as his successor before he succumbed to the eternal sleep. Unfortunately for the rest of Aliphiara, David was nothing like his father – his first plan of action was to change the title Head of the Council of Elders to King David Brickson. With the support of the Aliphiaran Church, headed by Father Helmann, Brickson declared himself the first King of Aliphiara and...

Nahervue in 500 AD

By nedal2001,

June 24th, 464 AD and August 7th, 498 AD – Two days that shifted the course of Aliphiaran history forever. The former became known as the “Battle of the Brickson Estate”, the first armed conflict in the history of Aliphiara as a nation that saw hundreds killed and brought about the fall of the Nahervue Forces and rendered the Council of Elders useless. The latter became known as the “Burning of Nahervue”, where an enraged mob burnt every building of the Aliphiaran Tudor style – an architectural style that...

So I started playing NewCity last night and this game is just oozing with potential. Seriously - the potential is limitless. If you can get past the graphics, this game has the look of one that has limitless depth. Plus - it doesnt even look THAT bad. Look how naturally that downtown core developed on its own. The current population is around 75,000.

The Brickson Estate In 288 AD, a fight erupted between Terrence Brickson, head of the Brickson family, and Father Dissinger of the Church of Christ and fellow member on the Council of Elders, over a proposed law presented by Father Dissinger requiring the collection of a Church Tax to support it. Brickson opposed even entertaining the law at the Table of Councils, and the ensuing argument spilt out into the streets and onto Well Square and Market Road. In defiance of a Council of Elders decision forcing...

Today I'm just going to post some pictures of Nahervue I have laying around before the update. Summertime in Nahervue (approx. 300 AD) The first snowstorm of the winter season. (Nahervue, circa 300 AD) The Brickson Estate, started in 288 AD and completed in 298 AD, on the corner of Brickson Way and Ring Street. An aerial shot of Nahervue (around 260 AD.)

YEAR: 250 AD POPULATION: 2,263 Grove Pass Around 240 AD, a member of the Hill family built his home right behind the Market Road stands just past the Siena orange grove behind the Market Road Inn. Over the next few years, a few more families would build next to the Hill home, almost all the way down straight to Brickson Way. A trial was worn between the Market Road and Brickson Way next to the orange grove, and thus is the story of the creation of Grove Pass. Grove Pass was the result of the village of...

YEAR: 230 AD POPULATION: 1,942 The Nahervue Logging Company In 228 AD, the ship HOPE III returned with not only its Aliphiaran crew, but also with three families from Rome itself. They were well-off merchant families who had gotten in trouble with an influential senator – in the middle of the night, he confiscated their businesses and put all of them, including the children, in prison. Through their own influential connections, they managed to escape two nights later and it was arranged for them to...

The Fort of Elders The Church of Christ served as the meeting room and office of the Council of Elders since it was constructed in 75 AD. With the town growing bigger and more residents to be responsible for as well as the fact that Church Square was amongst the busiest junctions in Nahervue so there was always someone seeing who is coming in and out, privacy was a growing concern. The Council of Elders had also recently mandated Haggard Tims as the first ever First Commander, in charge of the security and...

YEAR: 220 AD POPULATION: 1,335 The Docks The Nahervue Docks were initially built by the Hajjar and Borelle families, two of the original five that founded Nahervue. It was just one pier and a few canoes, and at that time, the main diet for Nahervueans was mostly game meat and vegetable stews. With members of the Gora tribes joining Nahervue that specialized in fishing, the traffic around the pier grew and so a second one was constructed around 110 AD, which was about 60 years after the founding of the...

It had taken me two days with my horse and cart to make it down to Nahervue, where I had been told to take the Cypress Road until I arrived to The Farm Inn just out of town. It was a pleasant enough stay and all the other guests at the inn that I met during my two night stay were Goran. Of course, I was down in Nahervue to purchase supplies and products – it was cliché to say it, but they really did have the best stuff. The Nahervues (as we called them) were creative, smart, and hard-working – they had...

Built to showcase power to visitors, the Stone Towers of Nahervue were the first military buildings erected in Aliphiara's history. They were constructed around 120 years after the founding of the settlement of Nahervue, which would put their completion around 180 AD. Two towers were erected to symbolize the unity of the settlers that came from the Old World and the local Gora tribes - a tower for each, of equal strength. The pictures below were taken around 200 AD.

YEAR: 120 AD POPULATION: 584 The town’s population grew from 412 to 584 over the past 20 years, mostly from new births and new Goran families settling down in Nahervue. One of the new Gorans to join the village was also a carpenter, the first time a carpenter joined the settlement. The rest were hunters or fishermen, with the latter becoming an especially lucrative business for those involved in it. The Nahervue fishing pier had become overloaded so a few years ago, the Elder Council voted to build an...

It has been around 50 years since the settlement of Nahervue was first founded, on the banks of Hope Bay where the White River empties out, in the land of Aliphiara. The village has grown since then, almost doubling in size to just over 400 residents, with a new generation replacing the dying one and a few more families from the Gora tribe settling down in it. It started becoming a tradition that every weekend, on the main stretch of road leading out of town, the townsfolk would set up small wooden stalls...

POPULATION: 208 Nahervue saw a few more families from the Gora tribe join the village over the course of the new few seasons, and by the time the second winter rolled around, Nahervue’s population had eclipsed 200 people. Every household had a trade, be it farming, hunting, or fishing – overwhelmingly, however, most of the residents lived off of the land. Vegetables, especially ones that were popular in stews, where favorites, such as kale, spinach, collard greens, and leeks, while the Sienna family were...

With a population of 34, the settlement of Nahervue entered the second half of its first year preparing for the winter that was coming ahead. Small farms run by each family propped up, and the Hajar, Borelle, and Gora families fished the White River, which was filled with abundant catch. To help unify and simplify decision-making, the Elder Council was created, with each family having a representative in it. The first decision the Elder Council took was to send a few of the young men back to Europe in...

The Discovery

By nedal2001,

Land – nothing could have been more welcoming to Grant Brixton and everyone else on board the small ship Hope after weeks at sea. The ocean had gotten rough, and a few days into their journey, the would-be settlers and adventurers were completely lost with nothing but blue all around them. The sight of the protruding hills in the distance had some of the ship break down into tears. Brixton and the other passengers had no idea where they were, but they were glad to finally be on solid ground, not least...
