On CivRealms, Norlund has rarely been a center of attention. Near the start of the server, Norlund was concentrated around its capital, Kannin, which, at the time, was little more than a hamlet. The foundations of the now iconic Kannin Fortress had been laid, and there were only a couple of houses. Rather quickly, however, Norlund industrialized. Factories were built within the fortress, then, later on, public factories came into use for all of Kannin. A general store was created, and bronze and iron tools became a major export. With the introduction of mithril into the economy in late November, early December 2019, things quickly took off thanks to the dedication and cooperation of the early Norlundic players. It was at this time that the first international rail was also built.
Shortly after the infusion of mithril into Norlund, Kannin began to develop from a tiny hamlet to a quaint village, then soon became an urban center focused on the Kannin Peninsula. In addition, agriculture quickly became a hot commodity, with the selling of Carrots becoming a massive export, along with agriculture outposts throughout the nation. Iconic builds such as the Poppy, the pre-renovation Kannin castle and the first Christian churches were founded around this time.
The end of the King Terry dynastic era is embossed with a population boom and settlements of new cantons (at the time known as municipalities). The first ones being YosLan and Tallum. These cantons were far from the last, however. With the outbreak of COVID-19 in real life, and the resulting quarantine, the population of Norlund, and that of the server as a whole, exploded. The population of Norlund ballooned to around 50 active members across 7 cantons, 2 territories, and 9 towns/cities. Norlund quickly became one of the cultural, economic and population centers of the world.
