Fall of Kalmar
After 42 days of inactivity, Kalmar officially fell on the 4th of February 2020, ending the 392 days administration of Kalmar under Oiad. It is uncertain the exact timing of the fall of Kalmar, but it is estimated to be around 6.55 pm UTC, after which many from around EMC rushed to pillage the town of Kalmar, robbing it of all its valuable resources like diamonds and emeralds from the old storage depository (currently destroyed) while looting priceless artefacts from Kalmar. In addition, many of Kalmar’s buildings were vandalised and certain portions are torn down. Important buildings that suffered substantial damage include the inns found in the town centre, the Cathedral (Currently known as Katedralen av Kalmar), Borgholm Castle and its facilities (Currently known as Borgholm Slott), the towers of Kalmar (Currently known as Kalmar Museet) and the old residential street. Pillagers appeared shortly after the fall of Kalmar, primarily originating from Britain, who used the spawn in the nearby capital of the Kalmar Union, Nya Asgard as its break-out point.
Unbeknownst to most of the pillagers, who vyed for the items found in the Town Centre and Borgholm Castle, about 230 gold (which has since been retrieved) laid undiscovered in the residential street, which looked like part of the large platform, formerly a town known as Vetlanda, which might have contributed to the delayed timing at which the residential street was finally raided. With the aid of Dalalius directions, Bene1479, who was the former monarch of the KingdomOfNorway and someone who Dalalius trusted, was able to retrieve the gold from his former house in Kalmar amidst the chaos, which was then split two ways as a token of gratitude for not allowing it to fall into others' hands. The gold was then used in the restoration of Kalmar for purchasing materials and allowing more expansion efforts.
Initially, it was thought that every inch of Kalmar was pillaged, and looted. However, it has been discovered that a small underground bunker was left untouched by the brutal savagery outside. It was rediscovered in the midst of the construction of the Lagringssted, which was then declared by Dalalius, who had shared a statement:
"It is to my greatest delight that amidst all of the havoc that besieged the historic town of Kalmar, those up above has shone its benevolence on this town which fell into obscurity roughly nine months after its foundations were first laid. After thoroughly reviewing the discord of the Kalmar ran by Oiad, it was discovered that the bunker was built by a Kalmarian individual known as 'Vel', after which it was abandoned for unknown reasons. In light of many factors, the current Kalmar (town) Administration has decided to preserve this acquisition and open it for others to visit, for it symbolises the shining beacon of light amidst what seems to be a wholly gloomy situation. It symbolises the strength and unyielding nature of Kalmarian residents, may it be the former, current or future and after considering current affairs in Northern Europe, the significance of Bunkeren will be extended to all of Kalmarian citizens, where it symbolises the strength and unyielding nature of the Kalmar Union to what the town of Kalmar sees as a wanton foreign aggression. I as the successor of Oiad, the first mayor of Kalmar, declare this site to be protected and regarded as a living history of Kalmar in its earliest days by the town of Kalmar."
It should be noted that hours after the fall of Kalmar, people still came in search of precious items and the town's antiquities.
Reemergence of Kalmar
Hours after Kalmar fell, Dalalius, the mayor of the town of Gävle, decided to leave his post to bring the town of Kalmar back into existence. With the aid of a few individuals, notably AnAverageSam, Utforskarmannen and Bene1479, Kalmar was brought back into existence now under the rule of the Kalmar Union. The town of Kalmar was badly pillaged, bone blocks were picked from their place in the inns, books and enchantment table taken from Borgholm Castle and Nugget64 (Currently demolished), while priceless artefacts were stolen from their place in the depths of the Tower of Kalmar and the Kalmarian Cathedral. The town of Kalmar would like to thank a few individuals for their contributions and donations to the town of Kalmar. In its rebirth, Kalmar was given 150G by Utforskarmannen and 32G by AnAverageSam, which was poured into claiming territories once under the town of Kalmar.
On the first few days of the new Kalmar (town) Administration, some buildings and structures were decommissioned, for example the old storage facility and Nugget64, which were damaged by the pillagers. In addition, buildings like the inns, cathedral and some facilities found in Borgholm Slott were restored to almost 100% of its original design. In addition, several new structures like Lagringssted were also constructucted (which was completed on the 7th of March 2020), which also led to the accidental discovery of Bunkeren when the flooring were being changed.
Places of Interest
Borgholm Slott
Bunkeren
Although the interior of the bunker seem very unappealing, it was designated the protected site status by the town of Kalmar for its symbolism of the strength, humility and resilience of all Kalmarians, past, current and future. It represents a beacon of hope for the revitalisation for the Kalmar Union and the end to all wanton foreign aggression towards the union.
Bunkeren was constructed in the era of
Kalmar Museet
The Kalmar Museet was repurposed from the dilapidated towers of Kalmar, which was raided and pillaged by individuals from various nations during the fall of Kalmar on the 4th of February 2020. The pillaging of the towers also unveiled a lost storage room (which was raided of its valuables). The internal structure of the tower is reconstructed to fit the needs of the Kalmar Museet. The first level of the Kalmar Museet contains artefacts from the different periods of Kalmar’s existence since the 9th of January 2020, as well as a brief history of Kalmar.
The second level of the Kalmar Museet contains a small dining table, however plans are made to change the second level of the tower into a regional museum.
The third level of the Kalmar Museet is closed off indefinitely for further renovations as it is dangerous to visitors.
