Miklagard

Miklagard, also known by its nickname “Home of the Norse”, is a metropolis in the Imperial Archonal Union of Viodoxa and Tovarisha, and is the capital of Silvay.

With over 44 people residing in the city as of April 2022, it stands as the capital and largest city in Silvay, the second largest city in Cymru and the third in Viodoxa. Miklagard has been described as an important city in terms of economics and culture.

Miklagard traces its origins to the late 2020’s, when VIR claimed the area, but there weren’t any traces of Valdreach’s culture around the zone until Ciborea settled around the nowadays Silvish territory. The city has been under control by the last mentioned nations, Silvay periodically and finally Viodoxa.

Geography
It's surrounded by a Giant Tree Taiga biome, and has a river crossing all the way in Miklagard, and it is also a landlocked city.

History
Little is known about Miklagard’s true origins as a city and who founded it, except that it was Ciboreans who did. The city has traded hands multiple times to the present, and most of its known history begins in October 2021.

In Late 2020, the nation of Sørveien later took Miklagard over assumeably by force, but they did not have any knowledge of this city's history. They were known for claiming cities and not settling them. Some time after Miklagard's capture, Sørveien declared war on Aezenfjord and lost it. After the war, Sørveien was abandoned, alongside Miklagard once again.Hávi Asagrim, sailing from Eldham, decided to settle upon these lands alongside his clan on 16th October 2021. The city rapidly gained players around November 2021, weeks after Viodoxa had collapsed and the land was claimed by the Seratovian State. From this point on, the city gained its status as a trading area, alongside the nearby city of Salapet.

Shortly after the population boom began, Hávi decided to install highways around Silvay to make transport relatively easier. This made trade flourish even more, and the city became one of the richest, still rich to this day.

In January 2022, the industrial revolution began in Silvay, with farms being created in the city, and becoming a large trade hub in Cymru. In March 2022, Hávi Asagrim was given the rank of Regent Archon in Viodoxa, therefore gave Miklagard to his heir Melancton Asagrim.

Eventually Miklagard became the capital of Silvay, after Kumaur was lost and became a city of Novoros.

Throughout late 2023, Miklagard expierience a population boost, however no where near the population of once before. They city's architecture was updated and many locations were either restored or replaced. The current Baron is Hanzenrounn Brenurho Kymriis and the current Steward of Miklagard is Guus Alsting Asagrim. The city still holds itself as a trade hub, with the well-known GooseTavern and the large market space. The city is one of the most advanced with its library and efficient road system. From the small town in began as with large walls, it became the powerhouse of Silvay with an active, booming population. Now Miklagard sits alone as one of the only alive cities left in Silvay. As the Eldhamites invade Rathnir and the comet threatens the world, it is clear Miklagard will not last forever. It stands as a testament to what Silvay once was and how it will forever be remebered. From what the founders of Silvay had created, to where it stands now as the capital of the province. Miklagard is still the beacon of light in Silvay.
