Name

The name Stej Ven means "birch land" in Stejvenni. The pronunciation in Stejvenni is /ˌstej ˈven/. The name is somewhat of a pun on Kyaw Cen, as the word for birch (ven) was picked so that the name would sound similar to Kyaw Cen.

History

Stej Ven was founded and applied to the UŊ on 1 April 2024. However, the construction of Sta Wejs had started some time earlier, shortly after the Nguhcraft Spring. A small section in the east of the island had been inside the world border before the Nguhcraft Spring, but the rest only became accessible after. Viklo, who had previously lived in Birchill, moved to Stej Ven when the rest of the island became accessible.

The first structure constructed was the Birch Tower of Sta Wejs, which is a recreation and adaptation of the Birch Tower of Birchill. The Stejvenni outposts were also constructed early on, as well as the transportation hut in Sta Wejs, opposite the Birch Tower. The Venrail N1 line was constructed on the Nether roof to connect Birchill to Sta Wejs so that items could be transported from Birchill to Sta Wejs.

The Archipelago Line between Stej Ven and Faeran was for the most part constructed in late May and early June of 2024, but it was not until September 2024 that the station at the Faeran end was built.
