Valor Islands (defunct neighboring entity)

Valor Islands (Valorian: valurnu islandsaat) was a island south of Seaward Islands. It was destroyed in the Hurricane Herobrine disaster shortly after the inauguration of it's port of entry.

History

The island was smaller than Seaward, and was previously connected to Seaward via the International Island Connector (IIC) route (previously signed as Highway A1.) Seaward's South International Railport (South Seaward, Seaward Islands) previously connected to Valor's Beachland Railport. It contained two cities: Crescent Beach (the namesake of Seaward's Crescent Beach, which houses the North International Railport), and Horsecove.

Demise

A couple of months after it's inauguration, a violent hurricane swept through the area and destroyed most of the island, while severely damaging the railport. The IIC was damaged to about halfway north towards Seaward Islands, but Seaward was unaffected by the hurricane (now known as Hurricane Herobrine). After dual-island investigation, the island was written off as inhabitable, and locals were resettled in South Seward. The severely damaged railport was then demolished, and officials today are still in decision what to do with the remaining ruins of the island.

Rerouting

As a result of it's destruction, the IIC (previously known as Highway A1) is undergoing a rerouting process to go further south in hopes of finding another trading partner. While the Sewardian Government is using allocated money to fund this route, many citizens have voiced opposition against expanding southward - mainly due to them thinking it's unrealistic to travel that far for economic reasons. According to government officials: "The expansion southward is excellent for economic prosperity for our island. With the friendship bridge up north already generating revenue, we anticipate great revenue by building this historic route, which would be one of the longest routes in the area.
