Axel

Axel is a coastal city located in the Province of Midgard, the northernmost part of Alfheim. It is the most populated town in the province and currently stands as the second largest settlement in Alfheim, furthermore being the fourth (previously third) largest city in Uldarash. The city serves as Alfheim's only port, and, with the construction of The Underground, as a major trading hub in the region.

History
Axel was founded on the 14th of October 2021 by Nifty von Alfen, who managed the town until the 26th of December. Since then, the administrative body of the city was been converted into being governed by the Council of the Town Elders, instead of the Mayor. Besides Nifty, Ciaro was the only ever person to have had the opportunity to operate in the position of (temporary) mayor.

Being a new city, Axel has merged with two smaller settlements nearby, Rosewood and Mildrania, and currently is the biggest claim in the entirety of Alfheim, even surpassing Chervonstad, the capital, in terms of total area.

Geography
The town is located north of Mount Midgard and southwest of the Ice Sea. Axel lies amidst several different types of biomes. Most of the inner city is located in a windswept hills region, whereas the port is situated on a stoney shore. The area around former Mildrania is located in a plains biome. The northernmost isle in the territory, surprisingly, is considered a Dark Forest, although every trace of it has been lost due to the construction of one of the port walls, also often referred to as the Wharf.
