The City of Nidaros is one of the oldest cities in the Drakesland. It was founded on as a Drakaen colonial outpost, and grew to became the main city northernest of the Regnum Drakaes.

After the collapse of the Drakaen Concordat, Nidaros declared the independence of the former Province of Greater Nidaros and established itself as a Kingdom with Vin Helianthus at its head. After the reunification with Nujharia, Nidaros became the Jewel city of The Kingdoms of Valreach. It would lose its status as Kingdom after the reform into The High Kingdom of Valreach.

After the disolution of Zie Drakaen Köntrybund, and as a reaction to the vassalisation of Valreach under Simulami, Nidaros declared independence and proclaimed the Second Kingdom of Nidaros. It would be dissolved after its defeat on the Siege of Nidaros. Even after its fall, the city stood as one of the main settlements in the Drakaen continent.

Etymology
Nidaros /nidaɾɔs/ composed by 'Nid', 'a' and 'ros'. Nid stands for 'Nido', the name of the native tribes that inhabitated the region before the arrival of the Drakaen settlers, 'ros' stands as a common sufix for settlements that north-eastern Drakaens founded, and 'a' is used as an infix or particle that can be translated to the common tongue to 'in' or 'at'. Therefore, Nidaros could be translated to 'The city in Nido' or 'The city at Nido's'.

Foundation
The settlement of Nidaros was founded on the by Tiffany Canalopin as part of the Drakaen colonisation of the northern regions of the Drakesland. the coast of a river passing through a mountain was chosen for the settlement due to its defensive and strategic value, as well as due to the presence of remains of ancient local settlements, most probably from the Nido Tribes.

Nidaros would soon adquire lands around the newly formed town and began building rudimentary walls.

Sorbian Conflict ( - )
While more people were joining Nidaros and the territorial organisation of the province was established, a new big conflict appeared. A player known as AckYi1 founded a settlement just a couple chunks south of the walls of the city, right where the nomads established their base. He named the new town Sorbia. On the second day of existence of the town, they already reached five citizens.

With the new settlement being too close to Nidaros and with the risk of Sorbia growing even larger to confront Nidaros, The government of Nidaros, the round table, decided to resettle Sorbia to some other place of Greater Nidaros. The place chosen by The Round Table was near the border with the drakaesland, in the county of The White Corridor.

With the pressure of the Drakaen senate and the diplomacy of Nidarosean goverment, a treaty with Sorbia was signed. Both sides (Nidaros and Sorbia) agreed to relocate the settlement to the zone proposed by The City of Nidaros. Sorbia was given a week to move all their stuff and delete the claim.

The citizens of Nidaros were shocked when they saw the day after the agreement, the Sorbian citizens building a trench. Before the agreement, Nidaros had enough proof to know that Sorbia was planning a war against Nidaros. But everyone thought that Sorbia changed their minds once the agreement was signed. Nidaros found out that some citizens were unaware of the Sorbia-Nidaros treaty.

The relocation occurred without troubles. The problem was solved thanks to diplomacy and war was avoided. But, one final twist happened during the resettlement. AckYi1, under the pressure of having to manage all that stuff just after his arrival on Eldham, left the Sorbian citizens alone and without leadership. The treaty between Sorbia and Nidaros was in danger since AckYi1 was the one who signed it.

Sorbian people finally organized themselves and the citizen that was the right hand of AckYi1, a player known as Bedear became the new leader of the group. He and his citizens chose a narrow vale just on the border between the Drakaen Province of Greater Nidaros and the state of New Haven. Bedear and his people chose Jorvick for the name of the new settlement.

Nidaros under Valreach
On the, The Kingdom of Nidaros and The Island of Nujh unified into The Kingdoms of Valreach, in the form of a Diarchy led by Vin Healianthus, King of Nidaros and Vix Aulian, King of Nujharia. The unification was mostly pushed by the Hand of Nidaros who seeked a stronger Realm wihtout grudges and tensions.

The Kingdom of Nidaros would keep its rank of Kingdom and the ceremonial title of Monarch, both rights granted by the Valrean Constitution. This order would ensure peace and growth for the following years.
