Ashborn

Ashborn' is a city in the south part of the Sparwood continent, within the Sparwood state of Leythe. It is the capital of the nation Reingard. Jarl Erik B. Ironblood currently runs the Norse/Viking-themed city. Ashborns's origins were that of a small nation that was primarily situated on a collection of island territories on the northern continent of Sparwood.

Geography
The city is situated along the north coast of the Leythe State. Ashborn had initially been established from the remains of a long since abandoned settlement, with a small fortress being only a largely intact structure within the ruined settlement. The new Ashborn was built from the ground up, without pre-existing buildings for its foundation.

Ashborn was initially situated on a collection of Island Territories on the Northern Continent of Sparwood. They only had a tiny slither of territory on Mainland Sparwood Nation (Arxella), but as it currently stands, it's situated in Southern Sparwood, Leythe. The land that was settled on was initially barren of any trees and had been littered with the remains of old homes. After a while, the land began to flourish, but only a little; there's still more work to be done.

Architecture
Ashborn is full of various buildings, while some are simple regular buildings. Some have historical value or have since become landmarks for the city.

The Black Forge Church is a holy place, standing as the center of worship for followers of the "Church of the Stahl Riesa." The church is attached to Stonehill Castle due to its construction being placed on top of the black forge, the largest Vulkan forge to date.

The Lone Tower is the last remaining tower from the original village is situated next to the canal. The tower was built after the original wall was set up and offered guards a 360-degree view. The tower is open for the public to climb to the top.

King Pagan Meadhall was built as a replacement for the city's old mead hall, the “King Pagan” was built with a crowd in mind. Although not the largest meadhall in the world, the king pagan was built with a drinking hall in the center, a serving area to the east side, and a meeting room to the west side. If one were to go beneath the hall, they'd find the storage area and a tunnel that leads to the Asha Brewing Co. next door.

Asha Brewing Co. was built from the home of Reingards founder, Drake Von Marux, the structure has been turned into a brewery for the people of Reingard. Named the Asha Brewing co., it is the center of most Reingards alcoholic brews for public purchase and the best place for a citizen to begin learning the art of brewing. The basement holds most of the structure’s brewing equipment and a tunnel connecting to the King Pagan Meadhall next door.

The Museum of Ashen, located right outside Stonehill castle, is dedicated to preserving Ashen history. Although not the largest building, it’s currently being filled with different historical objects and books explaining their history/purpose.

Stonehill Castle is the largest structure in Reingard, Stonehill Castle towers over the city and takes up ¼ of the city. The castle was built into the mountain that covered the Black Forge, the largest Vulkan forge to date. Currently, construction of the castle is still underway, with the walls facing the ocean being built larger.

The Throne is a throne made from Blackstone with gold placed above the seat, decorated with duel anvils and the three weapons of Reingard: the Spear of Reingard, Jarls Wrath, and Svartr-Elding. Likewise, the Jarl’s Oath is carved into gold above the throne, reading  ᚠᚩᚱ ᛗᚣ ᛒᛚᚩᚩᛞ ᚪᚾᛞ kᛁᚾ, ᛁ ᛚᛖᚪᛞ ᛗᚣ ᛈᛖᚩᛈᛚᛖ which translates to "For My Blood and Kin, I lead my People". The Throne symbolizes not only the Jarl's position as the head of Reingard, but, their will to do what is necessary for its safety.
