| The city of Voelhaven, which was to become the bud and later capital of Nieuw Walschor, was founded by P_P_A on the 9th December 2012 while searching for new lands to colonise on behalf of the Grand Duke of Walschor. Shortly after his ship anchored in the calm Bay of Voelhaven, and he first set foot to the land, the colonist<del>s</del> began constructing the waterfront. During these early days, the town was known for being a Potemkin village, sporting but uninhabitable façades and props. | The city of Voelhaven, which was to become the bud and later capital of Nieuw Walschor, was founded by P_P_A on the 9th December 2012 while searching for new lands to colonise on behalf of the Grand Duke of Walschor.

| After the disastrous [[battles:war_of_breshikan_succession|War of the Breshikan Succession]], Nieuw Walschor desintegrated, leaving Voelhaven independent again. P_P_A used the ensuing period of peace to construct the Aartsengel-Gabriëlkerk (Archangel Gabriel Church) that was to become the city's grandest landmark. On the day of its completion, the restoration of Nieuw Walschor as member state of the [[nations:rhodesian_confederation|Rhodesian Confederation]] was proclaimed, and Voelhaven became capital once more. | After the disastrous [[battles:war_of_breshikan_succession|War of the Breshikan Succession]], Nieuw Walschor desintegrated, leaving Voelhaven independent again.

| + | ==== Rhodesian Annexation ==== | ||
| + | Because P.P.A. is lazy coward, he decided halfway through the [[battles:walschor_war_of_independence|War of Nieuw Walschor Independence]] to join the Mongols instead to secure his remaining possessions and so he needn't build a castle and could build nice things with Kalkine instead. Little did he know he couldn't win the war avoiding Rhodesian punishment by joining the mongols, so a treaty was forged between the Mongols and the Rhodesians, giving Voelhaven entirely to the latter. | ||
