Midjor

Midjor (Mid.YOUR) is a collection of Viking city-states located in west Eldham; underneath the rule of The High Kingdom of Soolia. The Midjorisk as a culture have existed for more than 1390 Years Via historical texts and oral storys. Their history spans across three distinct worlds called Yonr, Midgard, and Midjor. In these worlds, the Midjorisk have experienced a plethora golden ages and complete annihilation.

Through much of their historical struggles they have found light in their stories and myth's. Often many of the great hero's from their tall tales have been great icons of salvation and worshiped as gods in a local religion known as Haizkeim. Their government is one originally founded on the basis of tribalism in its early days, however developed into a Triumvirate which was then replaced by an Absolute Monarcy.

As of year 1396, its seen almost a complete revival of its culture and community once again. Many Midjorisk now are content living in small communes and sharing resources and having daily festivals for the fun of it. just like the ancestors foresaw, their people would rise from the ash again to create anew.

History
In the beginning, the first god Yuno birthed himself from ash from the nothing. The progenitor of all then split like a tree into thousands of beings all mortal like him. From Yuno's two hands, His children twisted and contorted out from is limbs tearing them off. In his dying breath, he asked for his children Odenum and Vallenir to sacrifice him in order to bring form to the nothing. and so they did, they tore out his eyes, dismembered his flesh, shattered his bones, and let his lifeblood flow throughout all of the world.

It was beautiful, Yuno's flesh made the earth to stand on; The oceans were his blood, rich with life; and the fauna and trees made from shattered bone. The world became filled with life and mortals inhabiting the bountiful earth. Odenum and Vallenir named this world "" after their father Many tribes gathered at the heart of Yonr and created a village known as "Flower town". It was peaceful for over 300 years, until others grew greedy and hateful for the prosperity of Flower Town and sought it be burnt to ashes. The war divided many ancient Yonirsk, causing a vast majority to voyage out from the continent in search of new lands.

Around year 253, The ancient Yonirsk founded the town of Midgard in the Icey north of a new continent. one inhabited with even more sophisticated people than their homeland, the Midgardians sought to develop their technology with the help of powerful hero's to guide them. Many gods from Haizkeim originated from Midgard and brought with them the strength and technology to bring the Midgardians peace and prosperity once again. This sadly also did not last as the Midgardians hatred for their neighbors, Coldenburg, grew so large they brought the wrath of Odenum's Cube to their countries. the devastation of the bombing killing hundreds of Midgardians. Like their Yonirsk ancestors, they too would flee their wrecked homeland in search of somewhere new.

The Midgardians would wander the oceans for half a century, until in 301 they finally docked for shore in the Sørligste continent of Rathnir. Illegally settling a small town on the northern shores of Frostmarch. through much legal troubles with the larger country, the Midjorisk ended up getting deported further south to the swampland of Frost march. It a cozy place, however the Midjorisk sought to expand their influence and reclaim the glory of respect recognition their ancestors once had. When news came of Eldham, The Midjorisk set sail once again. Abandoning their Rathnirsk settlement in hopes of a brighter future.

The Old Government;
Throughout history, the Midjorisk and their ancestors were Tribalistic by nature. small groups of very patriotic peoples ruling small villages and settlements. While in Midgard, Many Midgardian's took inspiration from more developed nations and engineered their own Oligarchy of determined people. This worked well for a time, even in Rathnir. However once in Eldham They sought to develop as fast as all the new settlements were; and formed a Triumvirate state between its Military, Religion, and Law. This government lasted a short time, but paved the way for an Absolute Monarchy. This system functioned well with the Midjorisk people and has been running fairly similar even under the rule of Soolia.

Communal Government & Economy
in recent years, the Midjorisk have adopted a more communal and family oriented way of life. Sharing riches with neighbors in times of prosperity; and Helping allies grow in times of great peril. Many 'pure' Midjorisk bloodlines still exist, The largest being the Baughorn Family. However many Midjorisk noble families only hold their rich history to their names. Often because wealth and resources are shared in such a way that the Midjorisk hardly have social class system entirely. This is most likely because the use currency is almost non-existent within the community; Currency between the Midjorisk people is often saved for foreign transactions and trading goods.
