Flag Info

Yggdrasil is a flag on the Viridian Ocean.

Public Statement

Three roots supported the trunk, with one passing through Niflheim, one through Jotunheim and one through Hel. Beneath the Asgard root lay the sacred Well of Urd (Urðabrunnr), and there dwelt the three Nornir, over whom even the gods had no power, and who, every day, watered the tree from the primeval fountain, so that its boughs remained green. Beneath the Jotunheim root lay the spring or well of Mímir (Mímisbrunnr); and beneath the Hel root the well Hvergelmir ("the Roaring Cauldron").

In the top of the tree was perched a giant rooster, or more often an eagle named Viðópnir, and sitting upon its forehead was a hawk named Vedrfolnir (Old Norse: Veðrfolnír). The Niflheim roots of Yggdrasil were gnawed at by a dragon, Níðhöggr. Ratatosk, a squirrel, scurried up and down the tree between Níðhöggr and the eagle, forwarding insults between them. There were also four stags feeding on the leaves of Yggdrasil: Duneyrr, Durathror, Dvalin, and Dainn.

The name Yggdrasil, interpreted as "Odin's steed," is taken to refer to Odin's self-sacrifice described in the Hávamál (although the tree is not explicitly identified as Yggdrasil):

I hung on that windy tree for nine nights wounded by my own spear.

I hung to that tree, and no one knows where it is rooted.

None gave me food. None gave me drink. Into the abyss I stared

until I spied the runes. I seized them up, and, howling, fell.

PvP policy: If our allies ask for a disengage before any shots has been fired, I ask all our officers to honour this request. Except for that, PvP away, PvPs are fun!

______________________________________________________________

Alliances: Well I guess you can see what web we are in. We ask everyone interested in an alliance with our flag to check that they are in the same alliance web. And if they are, talk to me, Legolars before proposing an alliance.

You need a larger ship for pillaging to make yer crew grow properly? If you do and are a captain in this flag, send Legolars a tell and we will arrange it so that I place an alt with an unlocked vessel in your crew.

Who is to be royalty will be decided by the existing leadership of the flag. Do not expect to become a royal because you join the flag <3

Flag History

Yggdrasil was founded on the third of June, 2007. The flag went through many ups and downs, until on the third of August 2008, one year and one month from the day the flag was created, Yggdrasil took Ansel.

From the Ansel island page:

Ansel V: 2008-08-03, Imperial Coalition failed to defend Ansel island from Yggdrasil. Both sides fielded strong (War Frigate based) fleets, but Yggdrasil won in straight rounds. The first round was won by a margin of around 300 points, the second round being an excellent closely fought battle, with Yggdrasil just edging it after the last turn. The final round was contested by Imperial Coalition, who played their best throughout the Blockade, but the round eventually went to Yggdrasil, to complete a fine blockade.
