History
The city was created in late seasons of the first year of Awakening.
First 4 years of its existence most of its infrastructures were renovated and some areas were terraformed.
During those years, the city was attacked twice by the outside forces (once by The Cult of the Black Sun).
Sudden cash flow from anonymous nobleman greatly accelerated the growth of the Middlepoint and thanks to it, in the next five years the city doubled its area.
After that, the growth slowed down.
