Description
Nifel is tucked up against the Nifel River, its horse shoe shape surrounding and buffering the city of Nifelheim from the rest of the peninsula. A townsland region, its sprawling villages huddle against the backdrop of the city. The town of Nifel surrounds a motte and bailey keep constructed of tightly fitted large wood logs that looms on the top of a large hill overlooking the river. This town is home to the majority of the region's commerce as well as a large temple built of white stone. It makes large amounts of gold from trade with Muspel.
Adventurers are sought after to come and make a base camp here as they travel out to hunt down the beasts of chaos. Weapon smiths and taverns spot the outskirts of the town, dedicated to aiding the adventurers in their task.
History
The region has been held in turn by Springdale, Virovene, Summerdale, and The Morek Empire.
Springdale Period
The region was first taken as part of Springdale's northern expansion. The Laughing Wanderer Meadhall was taken before the rest of the region joined Springdale. For joining the empire so readily, the owners were rewarded with much business from various nobles seeking entertainment for their troops. The Boar's Head Tavern also happily joined the empire soon afterward (and before the rest of the region) and also benefitted from patronage by Springdale nobles. These taverns were shut down later by Virovene due to their continued loyalty to Springdale.
Virovene Period
The region was taken by Virovene in the War for Independence from Springdale when its Lord Sianon Eldrake joined Virovene.
On the fifth day of spring of the sixth year of Dwilight, Deverka Cryfdwr the Cloudly, Founder and Grandmaster of Morek, was slain in Nifel fighting monsters. His final resting place was consecrated to the Stars and is a holy site of Sanguis Astroism.
Summerdale Period
Summerdale was formed on February 21, 2009, as a colony effort by the Raivan Empire in the city of Nifelheim. The realm of Virovene immediately declared war on the new colony. Summerdale prevailed and Virovene passed from history. Most of Virovene's lands including Nifel were absorbed by Summerdale.
The Morek Empire Period
Around april 2013, Summerdale declared war on the Libero Empire. In order to preserve their ally, the Morek Empire declared war on Summerdale. In the resulting war, Summerdale was wiped out. Some of its regions defected to nearby Astrum, while others were taken by Libero and Morek. Nifel passed into the hands of Morek.
