[Disclaimer] This part of the story, just like the part of the story of the first king, was written exclusively on behalf of the king himself. The accuracy of this narrative is difficult to guarantee, moments that sound too unconvincing have been cut out. As for the rest, for six months, he was the only one who carried on the history of Iceland.
[Disclaimer] This part of the story, just like the part of the story of the first king, was written exclusively on behalf of the king himself. The accuracy of this narrative is difficult to guarantee, moments that sound too unconvincing have been cut out. As for the rest, for six months, he was the only one who carried on the history of Iceland.


Hexagram_ was a Scottish citizen for most of his time as a new player on the server. He was tired of being in someone else's town and of depending on mayors for things he needed, so he decided that it was time to create his own town. The land in the british isles was very contested, and Hexagram_ did not want to create a new town where a battle was being fought. So he decided to sail to Iceland and start the town of Storidalur on the south-east of Iceland.
Hexagram_ left behind a huge number of records in the history of Iceland. If you are interested, you can familiarize yourself with them. However, our job is to provide the most complete and coherent picture of the events taking place on the island. Therefore, we were forced to compress the History written by him and leave only the important, because even taking this into account, it turns out quite a lot.


Hexagram_ felt like he could still be in Scotland while having a town in Iceland. After all, he had never planned on leaving, only on remaining there to avoid being attacked or invaded in case of a war. But realizing that it would not be practical for Scotland to move it's capital to accomodate to his needs, Hex started mining for gold in order to start his own nation. While mining, he realized it would be stupid to have a nation with only him and his town in it, so he reached out to old friends(gtaagent2 and jojix) to help him gather gold and create the nation.
'''Arrival.'''


gtaagent2 and jojix were a part of Storidalur for a good time, until one day while surveying the land they came across an abandoned ruin south of Hoffell. They decided to leave Storidalur and settle there to rebuild, and created the town of Shadowridge in the process. Shadowridge would begin efforts to rebuild a castle and bring their town to it's former glory.
He came to Iceland from Scotland, as he was not comfortable with the politics of his nation. Iceland was chosen because of its proximity to Britain, and Britain itself was rejected due to its large population. At first, he settled in the east of the island, founded a town Storidalur there. Initially, he did not intend to secede from Scotland, but over time, his views began to diverge from the views of the King of Scotland. Then, he decided to start hoarding gold to create his own nation. Realizing that it would not be easy to do this alone, he called his friends - gtaagent2 and jojix. The mayor of a major city in Scotland was dissatisfied with this behavior and, having come up with a far-fetched reason, staged a small massacre in Iceland. However, later the king of Scotland entered the server and settled the conflict in favor of Iceland. Then Hexagram_ got complete freedom of action.


Hex noticed that being far from Shadowridge meant that he had to walk there every time, effectively crossing the country. Then, he noticed he had a load of rails in one of his chests and decided to create a railroad connecting Shadowridge and Storidalur. The project took about an hour to complete due to procrastinating and dealing with other matters during it, but when it was complete it was used often.
'''Establishing a connection.'''


After using the railroad for a while, Hex noticed it was slower than walking to shadowridge, so the only advantage of using it is you don't have to press the W key. Then jojix suggested that a new railroad be restored and built, this time fully underground connecting Shadowridge, Storidalur and what would become Innsigli. In about an hour, jojix was done modifying and repairing the existing underground tunnels, effectively creating a better, faster and safer railroad.
Over time, more and more active players settled in Storidalur, among whom were his friends. Some of them wanted autonomy and created their own cities. Thus, Hexagram_'s influence on the Iceland increased, while the influence of the current king (Munkl3), due to his inactivity, increasingly fell into decay. Then, Hexagram_ and his inner circle made an attempt to contact the current king of Iceland. Once they did it. Then, the king went in and invited all new cities to the nation, after which he never logged on to the server again. After that, Hex decided to create a town on the site of the ruins of Reykjavik. Soon he did so, the new town was named Equinox.


While in Iceland working on buildings or armor, Hex faced an issue. He would often get random attackers, who were often driven away as they were unprepared for extensive combat. But one day, the most unlikely attacker showed up. It was Dexter1080p, mayor of Scotland's largest town "Fenrir".
'''Ascent to the throne.'''


Dexter showed up claiming that Hexagram had stolen a fishing rod from him. Hexagram said he took it because while he lived in fenrir, Dexter used 5 of his mending books to buy it. His defense was, the mending books were more valuable therefore the fishing rod should belong to him. Dexter still didn't give up, and wanted 10 gold so he would leave. Hexagram called for Scotland's help, but no one did anything, so he took it upon himself to battle Dexter and his member xXCyberKossXx.  
The exact date of his accession to the throne varies. Some sources claim that he became king on February 23, others claim that on February 26 only Munkl3 became king, and Hexagram_ long after that. Since there are no exact data on this score, we will, for the sake of poetry, consider February 23 as the date of his accession to the throne. Moreover, by this time, most likely, he was the most influential person in Iceland.  


After a little skirmish in and out of claims, Dexter managed to kill gtaagent2, stealing 7 gold and 2 blaze spawners from his dead corpse. Hexagram and jojix got really unhappy, then took it upon themselves to finish this fight. The Icelanders focused on Dexter, shattering his helmet and causing him to run inside a claim to teleport away. However, Cyber started running in time for the pvp to be turned on in Shadowridge. Hexagram chased him, hit him a few times, and got him to log off in combat. Then, Hexagram created a tomb where Cyber logged off and surrounded it in lava.
During his reign, Hexagram_ practiced absolutism. He first undertook to reform the state system and the government of the island. With absolute power on the island, he created the House of Lords and a system of voting for various bills. The Lords at that time were called like this: ''Jarl''. Gtaagent2 and Jojix became the first likeness of a prime minister and a lord chancellor in the country. the prime minister and the lord chancellor made up the upper house of parliament, while all other mayors of the cities made up the lower house of parliament. A member of the upper house of parliament had two votes in decision-making, while a member of the lower house had one. The final decision on all bills was made by the king, however, towards the end of his reign, if the bill gained 2/3 of the votes, it was adopted regardless of the king's decision. This was the beginning of parlamentarism on the Iceland.


After this, the leader of Scotland, Nicola_Sturgeon, logged on and sorted it out on the discord. Hexagram was forced to reveal the location of the tomb to Dexter, and was not compensated for what he lost from the battle. He did not get his friend's spawners or gold back either.
'''Warfare.'''


Feeling as if this treatment was unfair, Hexagram decided that he'd be cutting ties with Scotland. However, he ended up being kicked from the nation by Dexter. Later that same day, Dexter attacked Iceland again with Eon_Fusion and MrJimBobJr on his side. This time, gtaagent2 and jojix were geared up properly, and it was an easy victory for Iceland.
The state army at that time mainly consisted of three officers: jojix, gtaagent2 and Zolphax. They were dressed in divine armor and were obliged to take part in absolutely every conflict of the state, of which there were not so many. As for the rest of the inhabitants of Iceland, there was no conscription, the service was optional and only for men.


Hexagram and gtaagent2 got in contact with mutual friends from past servers they have played on. These people were Zolphax, PinkInk and Emperor248. They all lived in Shadowridge very briefly, before Emperor248 decided to create his own town on the eastern shore of Iceland. He built Innsigli on top of existing ruins, which were conveniently connected to the underground railroad.
'''Infrastructure.'''


After trying hard to contact inactive leaders of Iceland, Hexagram finally succeeded and managed to bring Munkl3 back to activity. This meant that instead of gathering the gold to create a nation, the Icelandic people could just join the already existing one. As a chancellor, Munkl3 was able to invite Shadowridge, Storidalur and Innsigli to Iceland. Now that Icelandic towns were in a nation, and Hoffell joined the cause, Hexagram could leave his town to Zolphax and create a new town to serve as the Capital of Iceland once the throne was given to him. Zolphax renamed Storidalur to Klettahlio, and Hexagram created Equinox (Current: [[Reykjavik]]).
During Hexagram_'s reign, a huge number of different roads and buildings were built. His team restored the Hoffel's town square, and for the first time built an underground railway from west to east of Iceland. At the beginning of March 2019, there were 4 large cities in Iceland, connected by underground railway.


Quite a detailed description, sometimes even superfluous, but we decided to leave everything unchanged, why not.
'''Foreign policy.'''
 
Practically nothing is known about relations with other states during this period. The main burden was directed to strengthening Iceland from the inside, so during this period, most of Iceland was isolated from the rest of the world. During this period, the wiki page of Iceland began to actively conduct, which allowed other states to learn more about the history of the state and which at the moment allows this history to be restored bit by bit.
 
'''Renunciation.'''
 
As with other kings, one day Hexagram_ got bored with playing on the server. Friends are probably also tired of playing here. The king came in less and less often, and closer to April he stopped visiting altogether. His case is unique in that after him there were no successors to the crown and the original nation had ceased to exist by mid-April. This period is considered to be the end of the ancient history of Iceland. For some time after that, life on the Iceland was completely absent.
