Nörsturm

Excerpt from the journal of the founders
"It is the day 224. day of the world. We are taking shelter on a hill in the Northern Giant-Taiga.

Nearby is the Loche-Nör the largest fresh water lake I have seen so far.

''It is day 226. since the birth of humanity. Today we founded the fort on the Loche-Nör naming it Nörsturm."''

-One of the founders, August 17.

"From now on, we are no longer nameless, we are a people, not just any, but the Nörmager..."

-The Mayor

Pre-Founding History
The people of Nörsturm, the Nörmager, are not native to the area. They arrived from the south, when they left their old home to find better places to live, with more resources. The migration occurred on the 203rd day of the world, and took 21 days to arrive and find a place to settle. The original location of the Nörmager people was along the eastern coast of the central ocean, where they led a kelp farmer lifestyle, and hunted for ore and coal in the mountains.

Founding
Nörsturm, as gathered from the journal entry above, was founded next to a large freshwater lake, on the 17th of August. Due to some early translational mistakes, the name was misconstrued as Nürsturm. But since finding the original journal, it has been corrected. The fort of the town was built on top of a Mega-Taiga hill. Positioned on a high-ground for defense purposes, the goal of defending it has been one of the main design factors in its building. The nearby lake also helped it's initial establishment, since it can be used to grow the kelp that sustains the builders.

Name Etymology
The name of the Loche-Nör comes from the word North, reformed over decades of pre-founding history. As do all other names, such as the Nörmager, in which the mager means people. The term mager is an insanely old term, which comes from back when the people led a nomadic, steppe-esque lifestyle. Sturm in Nörsturm is a not-so-old term, that formed during the migration from the south, and means tower or fort.

Political affiliation of Nörsturm
Nörsturm is one of the founding members of the Bimare Federation, and is also the host for the venue of the Two Seas Festival. It's society is militocratic and immigration works on a service guarantees citizenship basis. Those who do not serve can still join the town, but they will be ranked as civilians.

The Structure of the Town
Nörsturm is constructed from multiple concentric circles. The center of the town is the Fort, constructed on semi natural high-ground, built up of pockets for the most possible defensive power. The fort has multiple buildings, including a chapel, a small library, a headquarters building, and a warehouse, among others. The fort is famous for having berries on the hill it's on for defense.

The Inner city is the next concentric circle. It is an area surrounded by high walls, also constructed on high ground. Its current building are few, hosting only the Meeting Hall, a public warehouse, and a small barrack building.

The outer city is the last circle, housing the citizens private plots, the jail, and multiple other buildings. It is not finished as of today, and is in construction. Once finished, it will be surrounded by a small wall, and a no man's land outside that
