Nýr Tlörn

Nýr Tlörn is a city-state in the easternmost reaches of Rathnir, built within Mount Jagdas, the snowy forests of Sparwood. Although initially settled on the first day of the server (September 25) it was not formally founded until many days later. Originating in relative obscurity, the town rose to its height in activity during November to become a noteworthy nation in early Sparwood history.

Lore and history
Although not dwarves themselves, the inhabitants of Nýr Tlörn are reminiscent of the dwarves of many fantasy stories, living deep underground in halls of stone and copper and finding their wealth from minerals dug out of the caverns below. Unlike the fantastical races however, the inhabitants of Nýr Tlörn are as diverse as their stature is unremarkable, coming from many varying places of the world to invariably arrive at the same mountain.

The first to discover the mountain that the city would later be built into was lego551, searching for a forest and a mountain to start building from, and spawning directly facing the cliff face that would be settled soon. As the recently-christened Mount Jagdas, named after the last forsaken world, began to be mined out, more players quickly began to appear. Rayloid, Carpicious, and Oussmac soon joined to be the four founders of Nýr Tlörn. However, as they explored further, it became more apparent that not only was this mountain the dormant peak of a gigantic sleeping volcano, but that they were not the first inhabitants. Many relics appeared deeper within the mountain- dilapidated passageways, machinerey, even entire buildings hewn from sheer rock. Believed to be relics from the past world, the identities of their original creators are long lost to time.

In its middle ages, Nýr Tlörn grew as a hermit nation, recolonizing the abandoned passageways deep within the mountain, and exploiting the natural warmth (and rich mineral content) of the upwelling magma to create a lush haven for civilization and trade within the frozen wastes of Sparwood.
