Coda

Coda was settled in 1852 by immigrants who came directly from Whindhall. They began the chore of preparing for farming by clearing the land. However, farm markets were severely limited because of treacherous mud roads and distant trade centers. The advent of the railroad was soon to be the answer to the immigrant's prayers. When the STA laid plans to construct the Cerelia Line through what would become the city of Lost to the south, two farmers, the Hilty brothers, offered a proposition: they would donate land to the railroad in exchange for the building of a rail depot. The railroad companies agreed, and the farmers quickly plotted 10 building lots in anticipation of what was to come - more settlers. On Shire Day, 1871, the first train arrived in Lost. This historical event marked the beginning of Coda, which was officially recorded as a community soon after. The farms in the area prospered with the nearby depot.

During the international tensions of the 1930's, Coda found itself between the volatile Salazen-Grum to their west, which was recently annexed by the New Sammichian Empire, and the military fort and armory of Hammerdown to their east. They appealed to Oranjestad - although distant, Oranjestad stood for justice, freedom, and stability. If anyone would come to Coda's defense, it was them. And so, Oranjestad answered the call and Coda became part of the Oranjestad nation in 1939.
