NANI AND THE KINGDOM OF BERGLAND

 


Leaving BrundisiumMy ship was ready to sail, now the snow is melted  in the North, I decided to return to see again my Mother Lady BBArlissmy father Sir Mith Arliss and the  land that welcomed and raised me, after I would go to the Northern Fjords to return to Hammersgaard, the Viking village, where I have a small house in the forest,  between the port and the fortified village.

 Arrived at  the village of Finnur my family had left for I do not know where, my father builder for his work is always around the planet, in the village they told me of strange rumors about people from the South who attack and  destroy villages to raid  and conquer, killing men and taking away women and children,  to make them slaves.

 I did not give much weight to what they said, you know we often hear strange stories, and we left, the calm sea with a breeze from the South pushed us slowly, on the surface of the sea emerged blocks of ice here and there
effect of melting snow, from the mountains.

Arrived at the port that was nothing more than a natural inlet in the coast, everything was deserted, there were no people as usual to welcome us, I decided to go ashore and I went into the forest, to reach the fortified village on the hills, after a few hours of walking, a group of people came out of the thick of the trees, dirty with mud and blood with my friend Nani on their heads,  with his partner and other people including a woman with her child in her arms, some slaves and a strange blond creature with pointed ears that resembled an Elf a people living in the impenetrable forests.

 Nani ran towards me shouting:

-Darian we were attacked by men from the south with iron armor on their chest and iron weapons, they destroyed our village repeating that they would continue their conquest to the  extreme north of the planet, we go to the KING of Bergland to give us new lands where to rebuild the new village, then softly told me

-I am the daughter of the King, he had me during one of his trips, meeting my mother, and then leaving for his wars forgetting me. I had met the

 beautiful Nani during my trip to the north when I was a Cartographer, then I visited cities and villages to draw and sell my maps to merchants, I had met her in Erik's inn, even if she was a wild warrior, but in love with Erik who also gave him a son, I was present at the birth of the child,  but then the Taverniere thinks well to have the child kidnapped by the mother, for which Nani wanted to take him with him to the forest, disappearing soon after
 leaving the woman alone, who returned to being a warrior.

   After a few days we arrived in sight of his father's castle, in the land  of Bergland, there were not many guards, I could hardly believe that it was a great kingdom, but I was wrong, a powerful man is not judged by the number of soldiers, but by his courage and wisdom, we were welcomed and let into the great hall of the palace,  where at the bottom after a long row of chairs, there was the throne of King Juan, and two other chairs at his side, he sitting wrapped in his large cloak asked:
 "who are you, what do you turn
..

Nani approaches making himself known saying:

-Maesta is me your daughter Nani.

I look at her in silence scrutinizing her, I think I did a good job and it came up well,


 
- Sit by my side daughter this and your place, even if you are full of mud and dirty as a
miner,Nani sat awkwardly on that throne, she was not used to being treated by Regina, but looking around, she thought about how much gold she would inherit when KING Juan died , and said:

- father but I am your only daughter ? thinking about his future with all the gold he would inherit.
 -Yes my daughter I have had only one woman in my life, and I thought she had turned into a wolf of the forest, she gave me you as a gift, I do not die alone, and tell me what brings you here and your dirty and wounded friends ?
 she
 listens to her father without understanding what he meant, she took a breath looking 
 at her friend Lagertha, and her backpack where she hid a small blond owl, which moving made an imperceptible noise, also for that from so long stopped in the backpack she was tired and wanted to shake her legs and drink some  water. She thought of the warriors who accompanied her, confident of having new lands for their trade, and I look at Darian the  wisest of all who sat listening to what they said, knew very well that he would give good advice at the end, while watching Luisan his  nervous companion playing with his  knife always ready to defend Viking women, then healing his father said:


 
 -Father we were attacked and burned the village and destroyed all our land, and we are here with what remains of our treasures to ask for new lands for us, our Bersekers managed to leave on a ship with our Jarl Sir Erick

As he spoke, a man dressed in white entered the hall, sat in the first seats to the right of the King.  I greet everyone with a sign of blessing of the hand.

"Welcome," said the King, and to all, he said

- This is a Bishop of the Catholic Church of Rome visiting my Kingdom.

Everyone looked at the haughty man who sat in his clean habit being careful not to get dirty, looking at him with suspicion, they prayed to their God Odin, and they did not know other Gods, but if the King had him as a guest then it is sacred, but while they were talking it happened that the little blond owl, escaped from the backpack running to the corner of the room trying not to be discovered,  but he had attracted the attention  of Luisan who  with a feline leap ran to the corner capturing the baby, who wriggled emitting strange gruntsLuisan kicked and punched I brought him to the door chasing him away, but Laghertha stopped him shouting that he was with her and was part of a tribe  isolated in the forest, which resembled an Elf because of its pointed ears but it was not, I put it back inside throwing it at the feet of  Nani


Nani was busy making visual inspections for how much gold he would inherit from his father and thought hopefully he will give us lands in this region of Bergland, the Bishop after blessing everyone went away greeting the King who told him:

-Good trip Your Eminence, and greet the Pope of Rome when you see him.

Then I go back to the guests where  the  looked at  the warrior Luisan with  languid eyes, King Juan does not escape this situation and I  think there must have been something else between them, he does not believe that it is only his escort as a warrior, meanwhile I order the attendants to prepare the rooms for the guests and with the help of his advisor. He took a large map and delisted. The land he would give his daughter for reconstruction  of the village.

  The next day Lagerthawith her baby in her arms, entered the throne room, King Juan, sitting and looking at her while she thanked him for the land she had for the reconstruction of the village, but the King looked behind her and said:

-Come forward daughter sit with me.

Then turning to the guard he said:

-Where did you put that little blonde devil.

The guard smiling sarcastically said:

-I tied him to a tree to contemplate the sky, and the mountains.

But he thought that anyone would know how to escape tied to a tree in the forest.

The King and Dwarves looked at the guard with amazement, he would surely die out there in the cold tied to the tree, and said to his father:

-Father that little blond boy and definitely an envoy of the Gods and we can not leave him out.

The King commanded the guard to free him and take him inside to interrogate him, while he looked at his daughter who often leaned on that warrior named Luisanhe did not want to think of having a simple warrior in his family, meanwhile Lagertha told him about the beginning of the works for the village started from the great hall, the king looked at her pleased,  but I think how could the King's daughter live with those wilds, then turning to the warrior said:

-Sir Clark go into the forest and look at anything strange and bring the little blond here.

the Warrior stepped forward and said:

-Greetings to all I am Clark the King's brother, I was away in Liechstein to make a trade alliance with us, Princess Dwarves are at your disposal, I am the general commander of Bergland's army.

Meanwhile lagertha thought that a  rich city could be attacked and conquered, and listened trying to understand how far it was and if it could be reached by fleet and what kind of resistance they would find, but he remained silent listening to the foreigners, while Sir Cklark said that it would be nice to have a large ship in port,  with two days at sea you could arrive, while Lagertha listened interestedly.

-Well said Lagertha, we will give you two ships, we must first explore the forest, then reach  the Lichestain, but we want the profits of trade, because we  have been destroyed and we must start from scratch waiting for our Jarl to return from his journey of trade in the South.

King Juan approves and tells his brother if you see Count Edward greet him for me.

While Nani felt that he was about to go into a trance, (it was something that often happened to him when he heard that someone could die) but he supported himself  so as not to be discovered by his father so I put his head on a column and fell asleep snoring,

The King looks at the woman with her child and asks him what her name is, saying it is useless to have so many ships at the port burned them will be run down, two will be enough for us, Lagertha looks at him worried and tells him:

-Maesta the  ships are solid and  a shame to burn them, my name is lagertha and I am the wife of  the great Jarl Erick of hammersgaard and this and his  son, he would never put his wife and son on dangerous ships.

Nani looked around, she did not understand much about the Vikings but she told her father maybe we can make her become Be-ha's advisorLagertha throws him a questioning look, who is Be-ha wondered, Nani saw the strange look and tells him:

- And the new name of the lands had by the King, together with the kingdom, Bergland-Hammersgaard, this means ''Be-ha''

The warrior thought that the king would prefer Ha-be, but he said nothing, at which point Nani asks the father to give a title to his squire Lagerthathinking that the great Jarl Erick would be happy, the King looked at his daughter and said:

-I make a coin we will  call it Beha coin and  your child will grow up  with us then he gets up he takes the sword and making the woman approach, I appoint her State Councilor.

-Now go to the forest, save that little blond before he dies, then continue with the reconstruction and trade.

Then I look at Nani asking him why she was alone and did not have a partner, Nani looked back looking at the man who had been silent all the time but said nothing.

           ☼☼☼ SALÍRIA'S ISLAND ☼☼☼

     1°part                  


                              Historical Summary



#Part 1: The Conquest of Salíria#


Saliria, formerly known as Sa-Torvis by pirates of Port Kar and other maritime cities, it was a clandestine and strategic trading point. Its isolated location and neglect from major powers made it a perfect place for illicit activities. However, this condition changed drastically when the cunning and ambitious Garon Torvor, then admiral in the service of the city-state of Ianda, decided to conquer it.

Admiral Garon Tor- Administrator of Salíria Island.vor 

Garon had known Salíria since his days as a corsair in Port Kar. Taking advantage of the element of surprise, he led a surgical and decisive attack, defeating the forces controlling the location. His victory was celebrated in Ianda, where his prestige increased significantly. He established Salíria as a strategic base, fortifying its defenses and organizing maritime operations to expand Ianda's influence.


However, success brought enemies. Disagreements with the military, magistrates and powerful merchants of Ianda culminated in his expulsion. The red caste dismiss him of his position as Admiral, the Merchants and Magistrates declared him outlaw and stripped him of his Home Stone, Garon was forced to abandon Ianda.


------------------------------------------------------------------------- 



# Part 2: The Salíria's Fall #


Even so, Garon refused to hand over Salíria peacefully. He and his men resisted bravely against the war fleet sent by Ianda, facing better equipped and experienced ships. Althouth the determination of its crew, the military superiority of the powerful city-state made resistance unsustainable.


Aware that defeat was inevitable, Garon trace a bold plan: abandon Salíria with a significant fleet and seek new opportunities in the vast Thassa. His escape was not only an survival act, but also an affirmation of his ambition.


------------------------------------------------------------------------- 



#Part 3: From Thassa to Vosk#


At Thassa, Garon began to act as a mercenary and corsair, offering his services to maritime cities that were primarily protective or involved in commercial disputes. His job as a naval strategist preceded him, and he quickly found work.


Eventually, his adventures took him to the Vosk River, a vital trade route to the continent. There, Garon faced a unique logistical challenge: transporting sea ships through the dense region between the Tamber coastline and the riverside of the Vosk. He hired a group of talented builders and engineers to design and build gigantic carriages, each with 8 axles and 16 wheels, reinforced with sophisticated damping and traction systems by enormousTharlarions's cargo.


After weeks of hard work, his fleet finally reached the Vosk, establishing a temporary base in the riverside towns. He became an indispensable figure, offering protection and aid in the military strengthening of small, vulnerable states along of the river.


------------------------------------------------------------------------- 



# Part 4: Rise in Olni #

 

Garon continued up the Vosk until reached Olni, a city strategically located on the Olni River, a affluent of the mighty Vosk. In Olni, he found a new opportunity to rebuild his life. Gracefulness to his naval expertise and the fame acquired along the way, he regained his citizenship and was accepted back into the Red Caste.


Determined to restore his honor, Garon devoted years to Olni's military service, gradually rising through the ranks. His skills in naval combat strategies and leadership abilities led him to become a prominent officer.


-------------------------------------------------- -----------------------



# Part 5: The plan to Reconquer Salíria #


► Ianda and the Return to Chaos


While Garon consolidated his position in Olni, the Isle of Salíria, now abandoned by Ianda, once again became a haven for pirates, mercenaries and robbery. Its strategic location on the Thassa continued to attract those interested in controlling the shipping lanes, but the lack of solid leadership allowed chaos to reign.


Garon, understanding the strategic value of Salíria and determined to redeem his history with the island, proposed to the Olni leadership an audacious plan to retake the territory. His previous experience and his loyalty to the Red Caste ensured the necessary support for the mission.

                        HOUSE OF HELVEHJIEM - STORM HAVEN-

                        STORM HAVEN THEATER 2025


Kajire dance performance at the Storm Haven Theater last night, with many Goreans crowded in the stands, many Kajires with their owners.


The journey wasn't very long. I read the invitation announcement on the Tor-Tu Gor Radio group. I set off from my Seven Palms Oasis with my Tarm. When I arrived, many were already seated on the ground, many acquaintances. I took a central spot so I could take many portraits, which I'll publish below.


I hope everyone will be happy to admire the dancers with their wonderful sets.


I won't publish the lyrics; the article would be too long; you can request them through the Tor-Tu Gor Radio group.


Thank you for supporting our Gazette of Moons, and see you in the next article.
