This settlement existed on an older map of Wurm.
History of BoS
BoS, short for Bay of Swedes, where a community started by a group of swedish people in december 2007. The area on JK-Home looked in the eyes of the inhabitants like a good place to settle on. During the time on the server it had expanded from a single safehouse into several homesteads and villages. They had good communication with their closest allies Mesa Verde and Tenakill. Supplies of Champ enchanted tools and iron lumps in QL70-95 where newer a problem with the close connection they had with for example Udgaard.
It where not ruled by a single individual, such as a mayor, but instead held together by a sense of friendship and comraderie. The founders where Daash, Einnel, Gustavl, Lillmad, Madboy, Rmt, Solver, Theacke and Tottman. They regulary came together to work on larger projects.
The members started out with the thought of independent places in the bay. Before the kvk raid where implemented most members of BoS had some kind of deed. Villages size 5(Kendra:Solver and Oppboga:Madboy). Homestead size 5(Arboga:Tottman, Fellingsbro:Minimad, Guldsmedshyttan:Rmt, Magrathea:Daash and Nora:Aske). One decided too stay undeeded(Einnels mansion:Einnel).
When Rolf implemented KvK raids the members of BoS realised that none of the deeds where suited for defence since they where built to have easy access and look good. Instead of demolishing and rebuilding all the deeds they joined forces and founded a new size 10 village and named it Fort BoS. From an Island of 5x6 tiles they enlarged it into a 19x19 tiles flat area with a tower in the middle and Ql80 walls around the edge. With no landbridge the inhabitants had to resort to boats to cross the water.
One week before the freedom server started the inhabitants each packed a boat and traveled south. They camped out on the outskirts of the map waiting for the border to open. At the day of the opening all set sail looking for a new place to plant the BoS concept. What they found where an Island suitable for there needs and they named it BoS Island
