History
Earliest Settlers
Novourov was first discovered in 865sy during the early years of transoceanic travel. With the technologies available at the time, the continent was three to four weeks of sailing to the West of the mainland of San Shie; the landmass closest to the island. The fleet that came across the uncharted island was comprised of four ships led by captain Iorveth Novoros, a Shiean military explorer. The earliest reports describe the island as the pearl of the Belgearium Sea. Captain Iorveth Novoros was so moved by the island's diverse nature and wildlife that instead of claiming the island in name of his country, San Shie, he decided to cut the ties with his homeland and settled on the island with the 1500 crew he had led up to that point. The fleet was presumed lost until the next group of explorers came across the island, 57 years later.
Imperial Age
By the 12th century, Novourov had grown to a thriving nation under rule of captain Iorveth Novoros and his successors. It had become an internationally recognised nation and many other nations sought to trade with Novourov for its many exotic resources. While the nation had grown large and prosperous, its ruling body remained relatively small and therefore vulnerable. Raiders and rivalling nations tried many times -though unsuccessfully- to overthrow the ruling body and claim Novourov. The people demanded a more clear and effective chain of command. In 1126sy, Marcus Grouze was elected as Nouvorov's first emperor. Novourov was devided in 5 states (nowadays known as Podoshchensk, Vladivets, Minegorod, Zhinapa and Podotsk), each ruled by a viscount chosen by the emperor. The emperor himself ruled over Podoshchenks from the capital of Belovaya. In the next 200 years the states would grow out to be independent nations with their own ruling body.
