[STO] Anglia and Tømmerlan
Name & Title: Sigrdrífa the Priestess of the House of Vanadís, Lady Warden to the Outland of the Lands of the Longships Throne
E-Mail/Contact: PM
Nation: High Realm of Stormark
Request:
Quite recently Stormark lost a bit of land due to the tranfer of Gascony, Ravaria and Los Bananos to Francia.
Inspired by the exhibition called We Vikings the idea arose for the country to have a territory with Magna Frisia as the main source of inspiration. The territory will be called Tømmerlan, which is Norwegian for "wood land" and is which is cognate to Holland, which later emerged from Magna Frisia. (To this very day parts of the Dutch province of North Holland are referred to as (West) Frisia.)
The other territory will be called Anglia and is to celebrate and indulge the ancient ties with the area that came into being when the High King became High Jarl of the Humlaw in late 2005, ties which were strengthened when his eldest grandson jarl and Grand Elector of Jorvik. Needless to say that there naturally will be lots of cross-border cultural development with Francian Jorvik.
It is realized by the Lands of the Longships Throne that this claim is somewhat larger than the land we lost. Stormark is, however, a pretty sparse claimer and naturally would be willing to adjust the size of the claim where the MCS Council would wish so.
Thank you for your time!

Re: [STO] Anglia and Tømmerlan
Congratulations on the expansion. Do you remember when your last expansion was? I'd say years ago..?
