Midjor

Midjor (Mid.YOUR) is a small triumvirate nation-state located in the western hemisphere of eldham at the center of G.E.A.R. The Midjorisk have inhabited all kinds of climates throughout their 216 years of existence, but have come to favor the Cold, Frozen mountains and spruce forests the most. though they have lived in countless worlds throughout history, they find their current home in eldham, when their leader Yathum brought them during the 145th year of spring and established a triarchy with two of his advisors. (May 30th 2021). The Midjorisk belief in a religion called Fløryatheim, one about the flowers and Apøthyel (demi-gods).

History
Midjorisk History has been drawn out between a multitude of worlds. however, there are three distinct worlds that shaped what is now the modern Midjorisk culture and people.

The Kjøraim
The Kjøraim, A small world roughly the same size as Midjor today, held about 5-6 people in a small village on a plateau, the birthplace of the Midjorisk’s early ancestors. They survived for roughly 106 years (May 25, 2018 – Oct. 1, 2021), then their name fell to obscurity after the Yonirsk war. The myths “the space where stars bleed” and “where the creatures came to walk” occur in the Kjøraim. It’s believed that this realm fell to darkness due to the Kjørsk people growing ambitious with their discoveries. And so, they left, as Vallenir’s decay took back this world into oblivion.

Yonr
Yonr came to be the second home for the Midjorisk’s ancestors. It was populated with twice as many people as in the Kjøraim. Some Kjørsk intermixed and became part of the native tribes in Yonr, and together built a capital in the center of Yonr as a symbol of peace. but most went their separate ways and became barbarians. For years the barbarians and Yonirsk would fight until at the peak of the Barbarian’s victory, the Yonirsk vanished and escaped onto the next dominion.

Vuljor
Vuljor was populated ten-fold compared to Yonr The Vuljor was inhabited by humans with divine powers, who ruled over lesser humans as gods. If Yonr and Kjøraim existed to create the people, then Vuljor was to shape them. The Vuljorsk deities saw the Yonirsk as weeds unwilling to convert and accept their ways and sought to destroy them. They convinced their followers that the Midgardians were hostile and expansionistic, so they slaughtered their kind. In relation, the Midgardians would attack all that stood in their way, burning innocent villages and kingdoms.

The Yonirsk founded a town, Midgard. It was a refuge in the frozen mountains far north, as no Land was safe for them to inhabit without war. They would hence be known as the Midgardians.

It was all in the name of the conversion. Still, Midgardians would continue to worship the earth and wind, But soon, their eyes would shift to the town leader. Odenum was the perfect ruler in the Midgardians eyes, and that stature gave way to him becoming a godlike figure. The other gods like Ellyruh, Baughorn, and Syzlein were Vuljorsk deities and sympathized with the Midgardians. They worked with them, becoming gods in the Midgardian’s growing pantheon.

However, with the war still raging, the Midgardians came up with a plan to destroy all opposition. They imagined using TNT arranged just right to cause collateral damage to their enemy’s territory. It took 405 stacks of TNT and roughly 5 years (~1 month) worth of time to assemble every block of TNT needed to eradicate their enemies. Once it was complete, it brought and caused the annihilation of Vuljor and its people, this event is known as Dazjur nuk Vuljor, or just Dazjorvul meaning "goodbye to Vuljor".

Some Midgardians escaped by order of Odenum before the bombs were to set off. Odenum feared this technology would cause such events, thus as a last-ditch effort to preserve his kind, Odenum sent his young pupil Yathum to guide the people back into the abyss in search of a new home.

Eldham and Rathnir
Rathnir was where they founded a less permanent settlement. In rathnir, the land they found had been just as filled as the Vuljor, hindering expansion opportunities. So when eldham was discovered, the now Midjorisk people saw this as an opportunity to prosper.

Yathum set out with the last of his people towards eldham. They reached the northern peninsula of Vaemore and began to settle in the mountains by the winter of the 187th year. In the coming years, The Midjorisk would accept annexation by Vaemore and would be a state for about 10 years until ultimately leaving and slowly starting to spread its wings as a nation in eldham.

Architecture
Midjorisk Architecture, usually in housing, is built tucked into mountains and tiled with thick roofing to survive harsh snowstorms. however, before the use of stone and wood, the Old Midjorisk in Vuljor would use snow to cover carved indents on the insides of the mountains. in time, Architecture would turn into more of an interpreted art form for skilled builders. The Blackstone borough that is Vultitan, Odenum's spear with its high and mighty stature in Odenia, and the humble Elyyrusk church in Kjagdauyn are great examples of Midjorisk Architecture as an art form.

Religion
For millennia, the Midjorisk have changed their spiritual views, starting with worshiping the Gods Jordestain and Himmel and creators and embodiment of the earth and wind, respectively. Then shifted to follow Vuljorsk demigods, who later died due to the Dazjorvul but then came to reincarnate and rebirth through the native flowers found in Midjor. Currently, the Midjorisk have hybridized their views on Midjeim and Flørjeim, a belief they call Fløryatheim literally; “belief in Floral gods.” though the gods aren’t actually floral just prayed to with them. Some flowers thought, have developed other emotional meanings unrelated to the gods.
