=== The Times of Quiet ===
Norlund, following the general trend of the server, reached an all time population low. Notable events during this time include the greifinging of the statue of Terry III and the settling of the island based town of Tallinn in the Southwestern territories - the construction work being lead by Nau/TheJamnik and Goragh, as well as the finishing of the Pogwarts Newfriend University by TheGreatUniter.

==Notable Norls==
'''These are Norls who have, in their time spent on Realms, involved themselves deeply into the state's affairs, either outside or inside the nation, and have been agreed to be influential figures within the halls of Kannin, Tallum, Veria, Palasiance, and Yoslan.'''
'''Terry III -''' The former King and founder of Norlund. Not to be confused with the Kanninite Terry IV, cousin of the deceased King. His tomb is located inside Saint Odilia in Kannin.
Line 275 ⟶ 277:
'''Assjackets''' - Early pioneer in norlish infrastructure and former Prime Minister. Buried right outside Saint Odilia.
'''Henderwicz''' - Tallumite writer, behind the works of
'''414eff''' - Norlish entrepreneur from Condor and founder of J-mart.
'''Presley''' - Tallumite entrepreneur who has been mistaken for Condor's mayor, and the main owner of J-Mart under eff414's steed. Among one of the few females in Norlund. (le gasp!) Among one of the many who have fought in the Great War, but surprisingly never pearled, always managing to escape extreme situations, having been located in CivCorp during the Obby Bombing and the Fall of Asgard, both of which have high mortality rates for those involved. That, ontop of a long and successful diplomat career, even creating the embassy based in MtA, Presley has enjoyed a long and successful life in Realms.
'''Tweetabix''' - While [[Tweetabix]] spent his last days in Yggdrasil, he right before his death wished to re-join Norlund though only was granted residency. A controversial and (in)famous character. Buried beneath Saint Lucias cathedral in the Vatican (Tallum) as per his death wish.▼
'''bhieex3''' - Among one of the many active citizens during Norlund's golden age, Bhieex is responsible for many landmarks in the Norlund proper, most notably being the Norlund 'Crack' where the monthly Carrot Festivals were held. Among this, Bhieex was instrumental in the creation of Norlund's second-most popular religion surrounding carrots (especially Karl), and built upon the previous Verian/Tallum traditions of carrot-loving to make it a much more widely accepted way of worship in Norlund.
'''Knoxmoor''' - One of the early important figures of Norlund, Knoxmoor was among one of the most popular figures in Norlund, having been Prime Minister, founder of a canton (Tallum), and responsible for the biggest lumber industry in Norlund proper. While no longer active in-game, the occasional spotting of him on the Discords is fairly common, and has been noted to give choice words of wisdom occasionally, or help an aspiring author with his research into Norlund and Tallum proper.
'''Okx -''' Among one of the most famous Kanninites in Norlish history, Okx has been around since the beginning, and often has gotten involved in many controversial events in Norlund. Despite this, Okx has always pledged his loyalty to the state (despite a well-known rivalry with Groxlord), and is noted as one of Norlund's greatest fighters, being one of the instrumental fighters that ended the Norlish Bush War, and fighting alongside some of his former enemies in the Great War. As Prime Minister, Okx secured land earned during the Norlish Black Ops, improved relations of Carbon and confirming an official friendship alliance, and helped found the North Defensive Pact with Yggdrasil, Yoslan, the Roman Empire, Moloka, and other notable signatories.
'''Groxlord -''' One of the most famous (or infamous, depending on your country of origin) Norlunders around, Groxlord has created a name for himself and Veria (his homeland) as a whole as one of the most intelligent leaders Norlund's possessed. An immensely popular figure, despite (or because) of his communist leanings, Groxlord has earned the longest reigning title of Prime Minister in Norlish history, a career which eventually ended during the Norlund Black Ops mission into the Imperial Federation. Despite this political setback, Groxlord continued pleding his support to Norlund (even when he disagreed with some actions), and helped, along many Verians, during some of Norlund's more difficult trials, especially during the Great War.
'''CuntJesus -''' Accepted by some as Groxlord's successor thanks to his candidacy and subsequent victory in Prime Minister elections, CJ is often noted as one of the many men who fought in the Great War, participating in it to the very end, and pushing for every Norlish citizen to get involved, and died fighting the shitters during the Siege of Asgard, alongside many of his countrymen. CJ is noted during the duration of his PM reign to be an intelligent ruler, pushing for NDP involvement in the Great War, and preparing Norlund for the eventual fight, knowing full-well the shitter's future invasion of the state.
'''TheGreatUniter -''' A figure who stuck around with Norlund until the very end, Uniter is responsible for many of Norlund's last projects, the very last of which, Pogwarts, was a dedication to all newfriends. While stubborn on many of his views, (and being elected Prime Minister), Uniter has always preached for the newfriends, and fought to the bitter end for any who opposed him, internal or external.
'''TheBigKannon/KannonKyle -''' Widely accepted as one of the strangest political figures in Norlund, Kannon was a newfriend entering politics at a strange time, and was often noted as more of a 'follower' then a leader. Despite this, he became among one of the first 'temporary' Prime Ministers in Norlish history, despite involvement in the operations that ended the career of the Prime Minister before him, and is best known during this time for creating the infamous 'Norlund Apology' to the IF, which still holds some credence in Norlund as a stupid move. Despite this, Kannon is best well-known for being among one of the longest reigning Foreign Affairs Ministers, setting up organizations like the DA, an organization dedicating to creating embassies for Norlund, one of the most notable successes of the program being Presley's embassies in MtA. Has been involved in numerous missions, and is probably most notable for his lack of pvp skills, losing not one, but two sets of Prot given to him by Antea.
'''Pope-King Leobonent -''' The third and last King of Norlund, Leobonent is best well-known for his preach of kindness and valor during the ages of great difficulty, the creation of the Vatican City and the completion of the most monumental church in Realms, perhaps even Civ history, and leading the country in some of the greatest struggles known to man, despite whoever happened to be the Prime Minister at the time. Widely accepted as one of the most successful Kings of Realms, and perhaps even Civ.

▲'''Tweetabix''' - While [[Tweetabix]] spent his last days in Yggdrasil, he right before his death wished to re-join Norlund though only was granted residency. A controversial and (in)famous character. Buried beneath Saint Lucias cathedral in the Vatican (Tallum) as per his death wish.
'''Raine -''' The former head of the now defunct Paris Commune, Raine is a figure now agreed upon to be well-disliked in Norlund. While some may disagree with former King Shamus' actions, after the griefing of the Kärme territory to which Raine has discussed his involvement (supposedly gathering the materials for said griefing, but having no knowledge of it, and allowing 'friends' to do such a heinous action, and refusing to play after his 'friends' were banned for such actions), Raine no longer holds any prestige in Norlund, now being collectively agreed upon as a nuisance at best, and a traitor at worst. <ref>[[RainOfPain125#Involvement in the Paris Uprising]]</ref>
