History

When the capital of Raevendrecht, now known as Raevkov, got expanded in 1529 citizens also worked hard to build New-Wakkerdam, a small village named after the Old Wakkerdam . The village where a big part of the people starting Raevendrecht came from, before they created Catamora. After the build process was done the village was given to Jinx van der Bijlkrijger, a proud farmer and minister within the nation.

Later that year ghouls started to appear near New-Wakkerdam. Followed by the ghouls attacking Raevendrecht and after that New-Wakkerdam. The ghouls started to destroy the farms and attack the inhabitants of the village. Luckily for the citizens the army and some other brave citizens went to fight them and defeated all of the ghouls. Afterwards the inhabitants of New-Wakkerdam replanted the farms and made sure everything returned to how things were before.

After about a year of living in calmness things in New-Wakkerdam start to happen again. On a cold night in 1531 the farms of New-Wakkerdam were destroyed again. Big footsteps ruined the farms and the walls around it, some of the houses were burned or extremely damaged, and many plants growing around the area got destroyed. In the middle of the path a big wooden skull was put there with iron poles around it with skulls on it. In the days after the trolls left their camp on the hill and kept attacking the village. The citizens of New-Wakkerdam and the capital city all gathered with some people from other nations and fought with the trolls in and near their troll camp.

In 1532 Hadriana started a war with Raevendrecht. Both nations battled for Flussland, an area located near New-Wakkerdam. Soldiers from the army of the empire of Hadriana came to New-Wakkerdam to attack people or to simply scare the citizens off. However the citizens of New-Wakkerdam didn’t let them scare them away. They did end up evacuating to the capital at the end. The war ended with a huge battle between both nations near Lunburg, which ended near New-Wakkerdam.

After the war it took the citizens of New-Wakkerdam a while to rebuild everything destroyed by the war and to make sure all plants and cattle were healthy and safe. But with hard work the citizens set up the farms again and made sure the food providing village would work as it used to. The first big harvest after the war was one of the biggest and most successful harvests they ever had. That’s why Jinx van der Bijlkrijger, Elduin De Sylvanus and Daphne van Gravendrecht decided to make a plan to host a big fair next to New-Wakkerdam. People from around all of Eden traveled to the small village to sell their products and to enjoy a festival with multiple activities. The whole Fair was filled with music, games and the most delicious food and drinks.

In 1535 New-Wakkerdam gets terrorized once more, this time by the bonelord. Shortly after the Festival a group of citizens were practicing the art of fencing during a training session. But then the Bonelord appeared and started to attack the Village. Multiple creatures spawned by the Bonelord attacked the citizens who bravely fought them. After that the Bonelord hasn’t been seen near New-Wakkerdam.

What it is in Present Time

Now New-Wakkerdam is still that little charming farming village it was before all the attacks and before the war.
