Fornost

Fornost is the capital city of the Kingdom of Aurora. Fornost is one of the largest cities(if not the largest) in all of Rathnir, with a massive population of over 400. It is located in on the western most part of the continent of Haven. Fornost is situated within a Valley in a semi-temperate tundra biome. Apart from being known for as the capitol of Aurora, it is also known for The Museum of Fornost, The Gold and Silver Pawn Shop, and Funny Mountain. It is a part of Fornost Hold and is run by Sir Jarl Rick Harrison. It is also residence to King Aurelian and Queen Red.

The Founding of Fornost
Fornost was founded by members of The Order of Aurora. These members came from the Island of Tessel, which was formerly part of Escharia. After being exiled from the Island of Tessel when declaring independence, they made their trek to Fornost. The trek came to be known as The Exodus, and the land of Fornost originally being referred to as The Promised Land by the Aurorans. The Exodus trek took two months for the Aurorans to complete. Upon arrival, the city was dubbed Fornost, and thus begun the story of Fornost.

Fornost Construction
Fornost began as a mere camp in small cave underneath the castle mountain. There were cabins, mountain dwellings, and towers that people were constructing to inhabit in. This quickly changed, as roads were constructed, a lake built, a waterfall, a farm, a castle, and much more. These were just beginnings of Fornost though. As soon as The Kingdom of Aurora decided to open its borders, Fornost immediately received a massive population boom. Builders were unable to construct fast enough to be able to keep up with expansion, as well as, the ever growing concern for more land kept popping up. What originally was a great strategic valley spot, became a territorial nightmare. With the ever-growing need for more land, the Jarl and The King decided that they had to expand farther outward in order to continue the expansion of Fornost.
