==History==

Lerwick was established on May 2nd, 2026 by 84841 following a brief journey to the archipelago.

Plans for its settlement were established several months in advance, though its establishment after the public release of Nostra was meant to be delayed until the government of Scotland became aware of increased player activity on the island, prompting them to send 84841 to the archipelago in order to secure Lerwick's position.

Upon setting out from [[The Highlands|the Highlands]], navigation to the archipelago was difficult due to cartographic issues, leading to 84841 overshooting the original landfall point and landing on the northernmost islands instead. This landing was met with immediate protest by local nomad Ryan77r, though his attitude quickly softened and both players briefly co-existed peacefully on the main island once 84841 reached it.

Upon Lerwick's official settlement and ascension to the Kingdom of Scotland, Ryan77r offered a sweet berry as a token of friendship and briefly considered joining Scotland. However, upon receiving funding from Norway he left the archipelago to establish Kristiansand instead, leaving Scotland as the sole undisputed sovereign over the islands for the time being.
