As part of our survey of the active townships I've asked townships to stand up and be recognized. You can either do this via email ([email protected]) or post below. Remember to include a good "peak playtime" for your township so we know when to look for you!
Here's an example of what I'm looking for courtesy of Nidaros. Doesn't have to be as detailed, but it'll give you all an idea...

Nidaros Borders
The Borders of Nidaros stretch from the Gyldenfeld Border to the Skara Brae coast and from the Fortune Bay coast to to the Southern Outpost near the mountains. Traditionally, the southern border of Nidaros was the southern most fields. It was not until recently that Nidaros has started to expand further south.
Nidaros History
Anton
Nidaros is a player-run town between Britain and Skara Brae, along the road. It is located near the Hedge maze, on the Chesapeake shard. This text covers it's founding, the key people behind it, its characteristic features and the current situation of the town.
Nidaros was founded on opening day of Trammel, during the renaissance year. Legend says that a friend of Lord British, a Viking names Leif Wonswar helped fight to conquer the lands of Trammel. He fell mortally wounded on the mound of compassion in Nidaros. To this day, flowers or grass do not grow on that spot.
Key people in founding and development: Nidaros was founded originally by Valguard the Grey, his wife Jess and someone named Da Fishman. As well as other people who settled in the area, Lothar, the guild master of the Knights of Chivalrous Heart (KCH), and marlene, who founded the Knights of Nidaros (KfN). Also the Ranger Traders of Nidaros (RTN), founded by Mystic Warrior. There were also a few noteworthy private citizens over the years, who contributed to town, by helping buy back buildings. And at its peak Nidaros had five guilds, including an order guild. A town citizen even wrote a real song about it.
The most characteristic feature of Nidaros is its fighting arena, made with water barrels and situated next to the tavern, called the Dew Drop Inn. It is there that the guilds in town had weekly tournaments or sparring nights. And sometimes Shard wide open tournaments, as well as other events. Both main town guilds catered to a different clientele, for either the casual player or the role-players. And they coexisted for awhile.
None of the original founders remain on this day, yet the name still lives on. The original guild master of KfN having left, that guild was caught in a loop of electing new guild masters every month; after a while, those disputes tore it apart. Dissidents also tried to exert influence over KCH which caused a change of name and leadership where many were excused from the guild. It became Keepers of the Crimson Rose (KCR). The marked the collapse of town politics and of town guilds. KCR still stands strong in town to this day, but is the only guild in town, aside from a handful of citizens, those not enough to officially have a town council or government. It is our hope for the future that we would find new people and guilds that would like to establish themselves in the area and take part in the town.

As time passed Nidaros fell silent once again. Then came the coming of Queen Dawn, and her decree that the old townships be recognized. Cymbria Devereaux and Tesla Radcliff rebuilt Nidaros and petitioned the Queen for a Town Banner. In an effort to continue to rebuild the city, Governor Winfield of PaxLair announced that Nidaros was now a member of the PaxLair Statehood and Appointed the Lord Zanku as its new Mayor and Blackheart was appointed Assistant mayor. During the reign of Mayor Zanku, new people moved to the area. A new Lighthouse was built, the Black Dagger Saloon was added to the town hall (which is on the Dart League circuit) and a treaty was signed with the neighbors in Gyldenfeld. Also During this time was the first of many Nidaros Boat Races. Nidaros is also the home of the Notorious "BLOOD REGATTA", a bring back tradition of the old races Nidaros used to have. During the troubles of Kendrick Morrow and the ensuing charges of insanity towards the mayor, The Maedhros Rune Library was moved to Nidaros and stands there still. Nidaros is still an important stopping point on the Skara Brae to Britain road.
Nidaros at one time recently was rumored to have a "SMUGGLING" operation going on and some dealings with Notorious Pirates, but investigators could not put a finger on any evidence.... Rumors still have it that an underground smuggling operation is still on going....
When rebellion formented in the lands Mayor Zanku ordered the fleet of Nidaros first to Skara, to defend against raiders, and then to Trinsic to defend against aggression from Britain.
Nidaros has a growing reputation for fine beverages that are hand brewed by Lord Maedhros or imported from Ilshenar my the Nidaros Trading Company. In 2012 The Nidaros Cathedral was built by Bart Gruff. This Cathedral is a reconstruction of the Cathedral built in the home town of Leif Wonswar.
