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 250. 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. The town was originally ran by Jarl Rick Harrison, but is now under the personal control of The Aker Aurelian.

Founding
Fornost was founded by members of the Order of the Aurora. These members came from the Island of Tessel, which was formerly part of Escharia. After being exiled from the Island of Tessel for attempting to declare independence, they made their trek to Fornost. The trek came to be known as The Exodus, with 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.

Construction
Fornost began life as a small and temporary camp in the mountains. Fears of Escharian attacks and hopes of returning North created much uncertainty about the prospects of remaining in the region for long, and as such no grand plans were laid down immediately. Aurora's stay was eventually made permanent, however, as the Aurorans were invited to form a Kingdom under the Empire of Uldarash. Through this decision, Fornost became a permanent settlement, but it was still far from a city. The evolution of Fornost from a citadel into the city that it is today took place naturally, as more and more people came to settle around the keep. Fornost repeatedly ran into trouble attempting to house the influx of new citizens, and entire districts of the city - Prolin and Westlock in particular - were built just for this purpose.
