Ikradun Island, Ikradonian Gulf - Today is an historic day in the short history of Ikradun Island, as the first permanent residents will be settling in the Dundorfian part of the Island, home to an airport and a dockyard used mainly for commercial purposes, and also for military stationing in what's legally considered Dundorfian territory. The residents will be part civilians, workers of any kind for what regards the management, mainteinance and operativity of the airport, and the staff needed to keep Ikradunburg (the unofficial name given to the little settlement that has been formed) running. Other than civilian people, some sailors are also moving permanently there to ensure 24/7 presence of trained personnell in case a ship has to overstay in the dockyard.

Ikradunburg, which is not recognized as city nor a village, has got a Mayor and a small town council of five people, with at least one seat reserved for both the members of the military and the civilians, and because it's not recognized as a city, they will not be getting any salary for to fulfil political duties. But its residents, even if their community of 50 people is very young, are taking very much pride in being the residents of Dundorf's first seashore town, and as well the first residents to not live on the greater Artanian continent. Some of them, though, are not as thrilled, and this is especially true among the people who moved in without their family. The Interior Ministry, said that a maximum of 75 people, the minimum necessary, will be allowed to settle in, and they will have to make an official request to a Ministry's office, which will review their applications based on the necessary skills or professions required. The maximum number of military personnell allowed in is of 20 servicemen, a small force mostly made up by engineers and mechanics, who cannot move in with eventual partners or family members. The Ministry will make sure that the airport will remain at the residents' service with at least one flight a week to Dunburg, and free High Speed Train tickets to reach their destinations in mainland Dundorf.
