With these words John introduced his new custom faction to the server. At the start the faction was mostly in the background and didn't do a lot. The Southern Rebellion was about to fall and the Orocarni didn't really mind the Norsca most of the people that were allies with the Orocarni or Orocarni themselves even saw themselves as friends of John. When the Southern Rebellion finally collapsed in December 2019, a lot of Southern Rebels joined the Norsca to start over again in the North. Not only the rebels saw this as an opportunity but also some of the Orocarni and their allies. Norsca rapidly started to grow and became arguably the first successful custom faction. They did ally themselves with the Bandits of Bree shortly after.
Johns reign ended at the beginning of December. He started the Norsca village with Thijs that can be found in the North. John got a beautiful Viking funeral at the docks of the village and bene was crowned king. Wolf made a tomb in his city to honor the fallen king.
At the end December friction started to grow between the Norsca and the Orocarni. Old rebels and some others were not done with the Orocarni and the Orocarni became suspicious of the Norsca. This eventually lead to war between them. It didn’t help that the former Rebel Bene became king after Johns departure of the server. When the Orocarni kicked every Norsca out of their dscord and fellowship some Norsca saw this as a declaration of war. A day later Bene declared an official war.
The Norsca gained a lot of ground during this war but eventually lost it. People started to leave the Norsca till there was no one left. Starlight the cousin of John claimed it back when the Last Alliance, were Norsca was a part of, fell into a state of decay. Starlight fought the faction of her cousin with the Orocarni at first but claimed the faction to defend johns legacy. The Norsca are slowly growing again and with the new distribution of territories at the 19th of February Norsca also got some territories again.
Starlight eventually left the faction after she herself and her players went inactive. Starlight gave her northern territories to Yiannis the king of Umbar at the time and her western islands to Tommy, a Dúnedain general. She continued traveling around Middle-Earth as the ruin princess.
