The Creation of Edelstadt

On April 18th, after having lived in Ulm for ten days after joining the server, Foxxiee decided to create Edelstadt, which was then named "Cairn Valley", in Northern Scotland in the ruins of Conwy. The city was situated round Loch Ness, which was later renamed Talsee, in the shadow of Edelberg (a tall mountain east of Talsee).

Switching Nations

Template:ROS Town infoboxCairn Valley initially joined the UK, but after the Late April Revolutions that eventually led to its collapse, Cairn Valley joined Germany and renamed itself Edelstadt, meaning "noble city" in German. On June 6th when Foxxiee returned to EarthMC after a brief lapse of inactivity, she found that the Scottish Empire had claimed land on "Tannenhügel" (the name given by Foxxiee for a small hill west of Talsee) and was quickly expanding, she decided to decline invitations to the UK and Scottish Empire and move her town.

The Great Move

On the evening of June 6th, Foxxiee told paperpikmin, the Emperor of Germany, that she was planning on moving Edelstadt, and he suggested that she build a colony in Africa. She left what remained of Alte (Old) Edelstadt standing on Loch Ness for the Scottish Empire to take, and it has since been claimed as Inverness by King Joel of the Scottish Empire and is still standing as of June 7th. After abandoning Alte Edelstadt, Foxxiee rode from Northern Scotland to Northern Namibia on horseback, bringing her two horses Caramel and Edelross with her. Upon arrival, paperpikmin helped her choose an area in which to begin building her city (as well as giving Edelstadt a generous donation), and Edelstadt is now situated in the Kunene Region of Namibia.

The Beginning of the Era of Neuanfang

June 7th marks the beginning of the Era of Neuanfang, the dawn of Neue Edelstadt. Its official motto is now "Der Edelstein von Afrika", meaning "the jewel of Africa".
