Unity Island (Norse: Samholdsøya) is the island of Normark's newest colonisation efforts. First begun in 1693, in the middle of the Second Elwynnese Civil War, the colonisation of Unity Island was charged by the government in Elijah's Rest to ensure a second base along the Boreal Air Bridge should Jääland or Hyperborea be compromised.

The Elwynnese and Norse flags were planted on the island on 9.IX.1693, to the fanfare of a frostbitten, and depressed population. The small indigenous population had been under Storish and Vanic subjugation from 1543 to 1685. The colonisers gave the island the name Unity as a signal of keeping the Elwynnese nation together.

The main settlement is the newly built Samhold (Norse for "Unity"), as all existing settlements on the island were considered sub-par, having been left without maintenance and electricity for 7 years. An aerodrome is being constructed in Samhold, and is expected to be operational by early 1694.
