=== Founding the Admiralty of Wesbury ===
On the 10th January 2021, Orinnari sought a new project. [[Ashelor]] was firmly established but was quickly fading into inactivity. [[Ashelor]] had the disadvantage of being remote so that travel to and from other nations took an inordinate amount of time. Nor did [[Ashelor]] have any neighbours, allies, or foes. Once people had built their houses there wasn't much left to do. [[Slushhi]] became the last bastion of activity, so once he decided to take a break, the last few who logged in here and there went dormant too. This issue was compounded by the increasing popularity of [[Icenia]] with its promise of juicy drama and government positions, but also the launching of [[Devoted Hell]]. Either way, Orinnari felt it would be inappropriate to start making changes to [[Ashelor]] without the consent of the citizens and so began considering a small project nearby to other nations. He noticed the sickle shaped area named [[Brodre]] on the map, where upon visiting discovered was abandoned to the point where the reinforcements wereand so decayedfounded asa to break on the second hit. On the 26th January 2021, Orinnari officially published the preliminary borders of the newly foundnew nation: the [[Wesbury|Admiralty of Wesbury]].
=== Treaty troubles with Mount September ===
During informal discussions of whether Wesbury should join the [[Augustan Federation]], Orinnari noticed certain gaps in policy, notably extradition, which was important to Orinnari given Wesbury's extremely small size, being only ~300 square metres in size. Not wanting to force the [[Augustan Federation]] to change its charter however, Orinnari figured the best course of action would be standalone treaties with surrounding nations. [[The Commonwealth]], known for its lax extradition policy, agreed to an arrangement with Wesbury, however Orinnari was primarily focused on [[Mount September]] given the concerning fact of it being the spiritual successor to [[Mount Augusta (CivClassic)|Mount Augusta]] as well as the largest and closest population centre; that if Wesbury's were to be raided, the raider would most likely either be from [[Mount September]] or otherwise need to be extradited from [[Mount September]], thus negotiations began on 16th March 2021. Negotiations deteriorated quickly however since Wesbury was refused a private diplomacy channel, forcing negotiations to happen in public in [[Mount September]]'s "#foreign-office" channel, allowing [[AllenY]], an esteemed [[Mount September|Septembrian]], to say without official position that the proposed treaty was fundamentally and irreconcilably incompatible with [[Mount September]]'s constitution<ref>https://civstorage.github.io/orinnari/wesbury/mts-negotiation-1/</ref>. Just over two weeks later on 4th April 2021, Orinnari tried a different tact, to take [[Mount September]]'s internal extradition process as a given, but to construct a holding cell on an island that [[Mount September]] would claim, allowing Wesbury to securely store pearls while it begins to fix any damage caused by the prisoner. However, the requested exemptions to derelictions laws that were okay'd by [[AllenY]] were subsequently denied by [[RedDevel]], [[Mount September]]'s newly appointed diplomat, stating that [[Mount September]] has no interest in a mutually beneficial agreement and that Wesbury should be thankful that [[Mount September]] is even entertaining claiming the island to begin with<ref>https://civstorage.github.io/orinnari/wesbury/mts-negotiation-2/</ref>. Negotiations haven't continued since.
=== Returning to Southshire, ''really really really this time!'' ===
=== Relinquishing Ashelor ===
Orinnari had been the Lord Protector of [[Ashelor]] since 30th December 2020 when the Royal Prerogative was re-instated with a few minor changes and named as the Lord's Prerogative, hinting at a Cromwell-esque republic which was ''totally'' not a Monarchy. But [[Ashelor]] was growing increasingly inactive. On 3rd February 2021, Orinnari suspended the election cycle due to lack of interest. Later, on 17th May 2021, Orinnari suspended the need for citizens to register to vote and the need for proposals to be seconded. [[Ashelor]] became so inactive that [[Icenia (CivClassic)|Icenia]] effectively occupied and annexed Old Bloom, however this was instigated by Truckman, a [[Bloom|Bloomean]] and [[Ashelor]] citizen, so the only issue was the [[Icenia (CivClassic)|Icenia]] didn't consult with or inform [[Ashelor]]'s government. Wanting to move onto other projects, Orinnari passed on the position of Lord Protector to [[7misun]] on 5th July 2021.
=== Relinquishing Wesbury ===
Wesbury was somewhat abandoned after Orinnari returned to [[Southshire]] and restored [[Oakhurst]]. In August 2021, Orinnari dismantled the castle he had built in Wesbury, intending to transfer the territory to an interested party should they make themselves known. On 26th August 2021, [[Dr_Oracle]] approached Orinnari about Wesbury. The territory was sold to [[South Augusta]] on 4th September 2021.
