Mightward

Mightward is one of the great cities of the Mideland. It was once nothing more than a remote mining operation run by the Vehlanni Empire. During the Aliahn Rebellion Mightward rose up with the rest of Aliah. However when all was settled Mightward decided to remain a separate state.

The city was run by a series of elected officials after it attained independence. The first of them was Gaerrin Hammerwind. He was a leader in the Aliahn rebellion and was a key figure in forming and executing the plan to kill Nurymbrixion and Malistacraa.

After becoming independent Mightward's people saw to it that the city was well protected. In less than 20 years it went from being a simple and lightly guarded mining operation to one of the most well fortified cities in all of Jord. Using the metals that they mined for Velha the people of Mightward both forged a new city and also sold their way into many positive relationships with the surrounding area. Soon Mightward was known as one of the best places to go for metal working and craftsmen from all over Jord flocked to the city.

Many years later Mightward has become one of the main suppliers of metal working to Velha under the rule of it's current leader, a drastic change from the strained relationship the city-state had previously.
