Nidaros, Trammel, Chesapeake (PaxLair Times) – August 26, 2010 – by Ashlynn – Yesterday evening marked a new chapter in the history of the town of Nidaros as the settlement found a new mayor and with it, a hope for rebirth.
In a ceremony to mark the occasion, Governor Winfield of PaxLair declared the town a part of the Statehood and appointed Lord Zanku as its new mayor in an effort to breathe life into the historic town. The ceremony saw a good turnout with representatives from across the land coming to see history being made, some even bringing gifts. The crate of Gyldenfeld Ale seemed particularly well received by the spectators and half the crowd already appeared tipsy before the speeches were finished.
Governor Winfield inaugurates Lord Zanku as Mayor of Nidaros
In his speech, Lord Zanku thanked everyone for attending, promising to honour the history and people of the town and pledged to uphold its laws and values. He also went on to thank Lord Nanoc and Lady Phoenix for their support on the road that led him to becoming Mayor of the town.
After the ceremony had finished, the crowd retired to tables assembled for a feast and celebration that included fine cakes and of course, more ale. More visitors also came and went during this time including Lady Daria Blackmoore who mentioned that her trusty vessel had always been named Nidaros in honour of the town.
As the evening moved on, the topic turned to the history of Nidaros and its old establishments, some of which once included a fine rune library and a public house known as the Dew Drop Inn.
People celebrate after the ceremony.
Sadly it seems some of this history is lost, but efforts are currently underway to ensure its recovery. Perhaps in the near future, the Times will see a more in-depth article on the town’s history.
For now though, we celebrate this time of rebirth for one of the oldest towns in the realm and look to the future with hope!
