Sturmfels

Sturmfels (storm rock) is an island and the small fortified town on it. It is on one of the Phagosian Islands. It is part of the region Emendaria in the State of Centaris and that State is part of Alda. Sturmfels was founded in the Summer of 96 SMP (2021-10-12), on an island of the Huitca Federation. It was founded by its current Lord and Mayor Albsi Swiftpaw von Sturmfels-Mahui.

The main fortification
The main fortification is the overworld and ashore part of Sturmfels. With its up to 55 blocks high towers its hard to miss if you travel the Phagosian Sea. The Castle of Sturmfels is part of this fortification.

The Big Tower and Skyship Harbor
The Big Tower is the biggest tower of Sturmfels. It is reaching a height of more than 90 blocks above the ocean and almost 70 blocks down below the water.

The top of this tower has a big flag of Sturmfels, a fire to light ships and skyships the way and a harbor for Sky- and Airships. The Skyship Harbor can service up to 4 flying ships.

The Cloud Chaser is the private Skyship of Albsi, it was build for mapping the Huitca and the world. But its first major use was in a civil war to defend the north of Huitca from the Teccalli Order and the Tizoc Loyalists that fought each other.

The third Tower and Observatory
A third tower is planned, it will host an observatory to watch the celestial bodies. The planning will progress fest to use Segra's eternal night for something useful.

The Harbor
Sturmfels has a small harbor with a harbor crane. Soon at least one ship will follow.

The Iceway Tunnels
Sturmfels is connected with the neighboring islands Port Emendaria, Pacific, Arkaley (Fuantei-Shima), Eriador, Fourkembourg, Clover Harbour, Tengshu and other parts of Centaris with Iceway Tunnels. The Tunnels can be blocked if needed.

By now, Summer of 153 SMP. The Iceways, now Great Western Iceways. Reach Tossagrad in the north, Alaar in the south, Zerith in the west and Mahui in the east. There are also plans the connect them with other Iceways like the network Kush has.

The Temple of the Lady of the Silver Light
Deep beneath Sturmfels lies the main Temple of the Lady of the Silver Light. It is constructed in a newly discovered cave below. It can be entered through the Hidden Well and its 80 block high water lift.

The Floating Market
It was a floating market in the south of Sturmfels. A new reconstruction is planed.

The Farms and Underground
Sturmfels has many underground farms. The biggest is a farm for potato, wheat and other farm plants with a capacity of over 300 plants. And a Tree and Nether Fungi farm that can even handle 2x2 jungle trees. And there are a few more smaller farms.

Other parts of the Underground maze of tunnels host a conference room, a brewing and alchemy room, a lava generator, a small sheep and cow farm and more. The Bees in their room don't collect nectar because of the eternal night (curse you Segra).

coat of arms and flag
The coat of arms of Sturmfels shows a silver full moon on a party per saltire, blue and black. Separated with a golden saltire.

The silver full moon is a symbol for the Lady of the Silver Light. The blue represents the Phagosian Sea, the black represents the deep caves beneath and the golden saltire the opportunities to come.
