Aezenfjord

Aezenfjord is a town in the southeast of Rathnir, founded around a fjord on 9/25/2020 and was the capital of the Valdreach Imperial Republic before declaring its independence on 12/1/2020. It sits on the lowest point of the continent of Sparwood built around a fjord which faces west to the ocean. It is currently owned by SirMisterPanda.

The city is made up of 5 separate areas: The Lower City, the first district built and the home of most of its players, the Upper City, a more high class area developed more recently, the undercity Callenjarl which remains incomplete, East Aezenfjord, a valley where the farms that feed the town are located as well as public stables, and the Port district, the most recent addition which includes a merchant port, naval shipyards, and the naval college of Aezenfjord. The terrain around the city is mostly very mountainous, and extensive terraforming was necessary to build most of these areas, which gives Aezenfjord height variation. Some notable landmarks in Aezenfjord include the fjord itself and the cliffwork around it, the undercity and the large storage room connected to it, and the IVNS Khara, a ship in the port district. The buildings within Aezenfjord are primarily built of local spruce and dark oak wood in the lower city, and terracotta imported from the mesa in the upper city.

At its height it was one if not the largest city in Rathnir with over 30 players living within its large walls. It consisted of multiple districts for different classes centered around the fjord. For a period it was almost completely abandoned, however as of 11/25/2020 it is recovering and some major projects such as cliffwork and reworking of Eastern Aezenfjord and the construction of the port district have begun. The town is currently owned and run by SirMisterPanda.

The upper city boasts the admiralty building of the former Imperial Valdreach Navy, but otherwise is mostly vacant as most of Aezenfjord's citizens had either migrated or stopped playing by the time it was more or less finished.

Aezenfjord inherited the ships and facilities of the Imperial Valdreach Navy when it seceded, and so operates one of the largest navies in Rathnir, renamed to the Sovereign Aezenfjord Navy.
