=== The Old Nixium Oath ===

After [[Prospitian Revolution]] where Isvik and Archivia covertly sided with the rebellion against Acquendavia, the two neighbouring settlements formed The Nixium Oath together by enshrining egalitarian principles and rights between member-towns in a Charter and formalising an Oath to which they abided for many winters. The core sentiment of the Oath was “all for one and one for all”. This took place in a solemn meeting in the dark forests between Archivia and Isvik, where the Oath was discussed for days before finally agreed upon and written down by the scholars of Archivia. Those present also agreed on the colours of the national banner which incorporated black, white, dark green and a tree to allude to the dark landscape.
 
Although the nation was formally egalitarian and rejected the notion of a chain of command with a leader at the top, instrumental to the creation of the Old Nixium Oath was the demonic Arch Archivist of Archivia, Zaktos - whomwho became the de-facto leader and informal figurehead of the nation.

Those present also agreed on the colours of the national banner which incorporated black, white, dark green and a tree to allude to the dark landscape. All of Nixium was not to be cold dark forests however, as the nation exerted its territorial claims all the way south to a line drawn at x=-300 between River Rolda and the Tipiat Sea, which included warm plains, beaches and temperate forests. Issues immediately arose with the extensive territories. The southern lands were largely unpopulated, so a keep was built by the bridge over the Rolda so that the road connecting to Ragusa passed straight through. The keep not only emanated national authority but also served as a border outpost, immigration office, national showroom and secure accommodation and stables for traveling citizens.

Around the Free City of Zusammenflossberg, which was located right on the river Rolda but despite many communication attempts their invitation to the Oath was ignored. Out of respect to their neighbors, Nixium created a large salient in its eastern border to accommodate Zusammenflossberg’s core territory.

Out of respect to their neighbors, Nixium created a large salient in its eastern border to accommodate Zusammenflossberg’s core territory, but kept up attempts to integrate the town.
Although the nation was formally egalitarian and rejected the notion of a chain of command with a leader at the top, instrumental to the creation of the Old Nixium Oath was the demonic Arch Archivist of Archivia, Zaktos - whom became the de-facto leader and informal figurehead.
 
In the (in game-) years that followed, the new nixians expanded their road network, housing and lore keeping, combining their best scholastic and crafting abilities.

[[File:Pzych Coronation.png|thumb|306x306px|The Coronation of Jarl Pzychosocial to Archduke, Colorised. |left]]
As the realm fell into disrepair and under management, the [[Jarl]] of Isvik [[Pzychosocial]] rose to prominence as the de-facto caretaker of the realm. Worried by the state of affairs and seeing how the Oath democracy slowed the decision-making effectiveness of the state, Pzychosocial sought support for running the entire nation as a monarch and was eventually crowned Archduke in the stave church of Isvik on the twentieth of January 2022.

As the isvikings travelled the world and eventually founded the port city of Port-au-Nixe they brought an influx of other languages, including Lydoneian (Latin) which mixed with the local languages to create Bastardo (any Romance language, mix thereof or an attempt to speak Latin with only knowledgeable of other Romance languages).
