History

Discovery And Settlement

Vukodlak was discovered by scouts seeking refuge away from political tension in the west. It began its dawn as a city-state in Mt Matrona on the 8th of August, 2024.

First Warden Encounter

Some time in early October, 2024.

Union With Inarith

The 17th of October, 2024 was the brightest sky atop Vukodlak in many winters. Kresimira Horachek gave her hand in union to Radzig Markow, king of Inarith to the north.

Treaty With SPQE

The 10th of November, 2024.

Leaving The Tribal Confederacy

The 16th of December, 2024 was not a pleasant afternoon for Vukodlak. Ties had to be severed due to poor leadership, differing views in events.

Battle Of The Boar

The Battle Of The Boar occurred on the 2nd of January, 2025. Kresimira and Säde had taken a journey into the Nether for shroomlights, and came out with scars. A bastion lied beneath a ridge of soulsand, whether razed by an ancient war long since forgotten or by a realm where time was immeasurable, irrelevant.

Vassalization Of Three Nations

The 3rd of February, 2025, brought about the vassalization of Inarith, Belki, and Knarrland.

Culture

Vukodlak is a humble community of builders and writers, first and foremost. They prefer to be pacifist-leaning, though their history means they are not afraid of bloodshed. Only that they abstain from it when possible. It sits atop a wealth of iron and sedimentary stone, with sheep reared on its hills and potatoes in the rocky soil below. The national flower is a tulip.

The architecture of Vukodlak braces for howling winds, with crescent-shaped roofs for snow to slide right off. Deepslate carved into various bricks makes up the body of homes with brightly-colored upper floors.
