History of Port Sarim

Port Sarim is the largest port-city of Asgarnia and one of the busiest ports in Gielinor due to it's central location relative to sea-routes. This page should serve as an archive of in-character history and any major events that Port Sarim has experienced, as well as a list of known rulers from Sarimese history.

King Aztarwyn Gonzo

 * Aztarwyn declares war on the Nova Knights and all factions affiliated with Asgarnia, beginning the second large-scale Gielinorian War, otherwise known as World War Two.
 * Port Sarim is the second to fall victim to Aztarwyn's wrath, the docks being burned and destroyed.
 * Aztarwyn takes over Falador, thus securing most of Asgarnia and ends the war. He does not go to conquer Burthorpe and Taverly.
 * King Aztarwyn rebuilds Port Sarim and Rimmington, the two becoming functional again.
 * Port Sarim generates money for the Kingdom.
 * Port Sarim falls victim to the Asgarnian Civil War, led by Thomas Nekai II, which begins after King Aztarwyn's disappearance from the Kingdom.

St. Weatherby Sworn Lionheart
◾The elderly governor, founder of the Royal Asgarnian Armada, was granted governership of the Duchy of Sarim by Richard Grosvenor. St. Weatherby Sworn Lionheart, his wife and elven Kandarin Queen at the time, Sylvari Neleseth, and his six sons ascends to royalty in Asgarnia as previous King Alexander "dies".

◾Proclaimed as the Sage-King of Asgarnia, Weatherby and the Six Princes holds the new Kingdom of Asgarnia together with a fair and honest effort, and attempts to reunite the scattered forces of the Order of the White Knights. Weatherby manages to gain a recognizable leadership status among the White Knight groups, attaining the allegiance of Section Finstere and the Section Rovin (he also tried to gain the allegiance of Sir Tain Def's section but failed), by maintaining them in seperate knight divisions, forging the Alliance of Asgarnia. The Kingdom of Asgarnia was at the peak of its prosperity during this time among most previous rulers, its military might of the White Knight Alliance of Asgarnia standing fairly equivalent to the strength of the Alliance of Kandarin, standing approximately 180000 strong (180 joint Clan members)...

◾A blockade of Crusaders` fleets led by Oliver Ryder mobilizes around the harbour of Port Sarim, in an attempt to invade the Kingdom of Asgarnia. The Ryder`s forces retreats, however, when both sides comes up with an agreement which Weatherby grants the Ryders temporary settlement at the Monastery.

◾Saint Weatherby relinquishes Falador back to the returning Alexander. He remains in Port Sarim and rebuilds Rimmington. He combines Rimmington and Port Sarim into one state, the Grand Duchy of Sarimia, which serves the new Asgarnia shortly before he abandoned his nobility to fully devote his loyalty to his Lord Saradomin, remaining as a legendary Sage of Asgarnia and a retired Paladin Hero.

Kaiser Aztarwyn Zephon Gonzo I

 * Before Das Kaiserreich had even been established, Aztarwyn swiftly grabs Port Sarim and Rimmington for military bases in preparation to invade Varrock under the rule of King Ehrick.
 * Eventually, all of Aztarwyn's forces can be seen on ships sailing from Port Sarim, leaving the two lands unguarded, practically handing them to whoever wanted them.
 * In other words, Aztarwyn's reign was rather uneventful.

New Kinsport and Kaeso Del'Vair (Kinshra 2)
With the signing of The Asgarnian Accord 169, Port Sarim and the south of Asgarnia was given to the Kinshra Knights. It was administered by Kaeso Del'Vair, who named himself Prince of the Asgarn Southshores. Under this administration, Port Sarim was renamed "The Kinsport", to honour its new overlords.

When things went arseways in Asgarnia, with Galastus' attempt at usurping the throne and Varis finding out the plot, Asgarnia as a whole was occupied by Kandar troops. The Kinshra, however, held out in New Kinsport, not giving up the Port until the return of Joseph Adalhard to power.
