Hammerfall Setting

Brief notes

City Name:
Syl Mirtha
Population:
30,000+
Ethnic Breakdown:
Elves (95%)
Government:
Kingdom (King Gal-Dyel)
Notes:  The capital of Elvenhold, the city-fortress of Syl Mirtha (Or in Common, The Woods of Mirtha) is a refuge for all elves from across the Inner and outer seas.   Non-elves live in the mortal quarter, which consists of homes of ambasitors and traders who have been welcomed by King Gal-Dyel to discuss the issues at hand.  Close allies include Highrock and the Merchant republic of Reseune, mostly due to the cold (and sometimes hot) war between those states and the Empire of Zug.

City Name:
Icebreak
Population:
4,000-5,000
Ethnic Breakdown:
80% Nord Human, 15% other human, 5% Demi-human.
Government:
Thane council
Notes:  Icebreak is a city built on the North western reaches.  Cold, but rich in fish, both from the sea and the large lake of Vansgard, the citizens are a hard bunch, making a hardscrabble life of fishing, carving ore out of the hills, trading, and times, mercenary work.   The Thane council consists of 11 thanes, 7 the hereditary leaders of local Nord Clans, and 4 Thanes elected by the citizens by acclimation.
