History

Early History (Launch)

Bebbanburg was created on May 15th, 2022 just 2 days after the official opening of Terra Aurora.

The town of Bebbanburg was established as a Viking town to serve as bridge between Anglo-Saxons and Norse inhabitants. The town also provides a place for Christians and Ásatrúans to safely practice their faiths without having to worry about discrimination or harm.

Bebbanburg is loosely based off the idea of a castle in The Last Kingdom TV Series which shares the same name.

Age of Discovery

On the 14th of May 2022, Tnce (pronounced t-ahn-s), the founder and previous Jarl of Bebbanburg set foot on the island of Britannia. With the help of his fellow acquaintance, DekuFullCowling, mayor of Stornoway, he was able to set out on a quest to explore Northumbria under the inspiration of Ragnarr Loðbrók a legendary Viking king.

After establishing a small camp on the hills of Bebbanburg and acquiring the funds to settle the town down, Jarl Tnce was able to establish the town of Bebbanburg a day after on the 15th of May 2022.

Age of Winter

After a few weeks into the launch of Terra Aurora, Jarl Tnce was able to set up a humble and cozy Viking town. He then decided to join the nation of Britain which bordered his town. After drawing up a land agreement with the Duke of Edinburgh, TheButterStick, Jarl Tnce thought that all was well. However, due to the cheeky nature of Jarl Tnce, he proceeded to take more land which was not part of the deal between the Edinburgh-Bebbabanburg land dispute.

During the time that Bebbanburg was under British rule, the town was unable to expand south and grow due to the aggressive neighbouring town of Manchester. During this time, the Duke of Manchester and their representative sent word to Jarl Tnce to request for the town to relocate to the Scottish Highlands in exchange for danegeld. Jarl Tnce, although intrigued and tempted, did not fall for the Duke's ploy.

Buildings
