History
Early History
Founded as a merchant trading post by Froya the Outcast2 on the eastern shores of White Iron Lake, Froya became a small town within only a couple years as more and more people built around the original Briscole Inn. The town continued to grow and soon a wall was built and streets were paved in stone; a bank was built across the square from the inn; and Froya the Outcast became the defacto leader of the new community. in 909 Briscole Inn catch fire, and no matter how quickly the townspeople worked to drag water up from the lake they couldnt stop the blaze, and by the next morning the heart of the city had become ash. It's said that starting the next day every townsperson began to help in the effort of building a keep on the spot of the old inn, and by 910 Briscole Hold flew new banners of Froya the Outcast, and the city of Froya was born. Like most of the first cities, started as a city-state. Over time smaller villages and towns sprang up around the city, and as the population of Froya grew, along with it's need for food and supplies, the city-state became the capitol of the growing Jarldom of Elin as the villages were incorporated into the expanding government influence.
