Started as a small mining town ~200 years ago?
Began growing rapidly post-1777 CE (start of Aelnon-Sirisea arms race)
Didn't see direct fighting during the Great War, but probably lost significant population to conscription. Most of the people who stayed were too old, too young, or otherwise unfit to serve.
Population of pacifist Fens (a la Quakers) grew - instead of fighting they worked in the mines and foundries
Became a haven town
Large town/small city, continuing to grow towards medium city
Predominantly a mining town. Food is probably the biggest import, followed by laborers.
Town located on a river, in a valley between three mountains.
Architecture - primarily human, but increasingly dwarven
Timeline:
Founding (explorers found rich ore veins near "magical" well)
Persistent problems with banditry and highwaymen (formed ethos of the town - self-reliance, persistance leadership vacuum forced creation of town council
Festival to commemorate the destruction of the bandits and the formation of the town council; something to do with a weather event, possibly created by council?
Growth due to arms race/ city rises in prominence (Myranor steel becomes a valued commodity). Sanitation and sewer system implemented during growth; workers find the machine and connect the system to it, but it is later forgotten. Rail line built.
Unexplained phenomena - some kind of mythical creature? Festival
Small community theater built as part of city expansion.
Great War begins
Conscription draws a significant portion of the population.
Increase in Fens population; this makes Myranor more pacifistic. Fens expand theater; annual production
Hall of the Dead built for fallen soldiers; Myanor lost a disproportionately high number of their conscripted soldiers.
Great War ends
Large cultural shift due to the effects of the war; previously militaristic, now pacifistic.
Sirisean and dwarven refugees settle in town
New theater construction started.
Telegraph lines strung.
2.5/3 years ago - hidden inside a larger piece of legislation, a local prankster lawyer managed to slip in two controversial laws: the greetings law, wherein individuals greet each other by touching butts, and the creation of the mayoral seat which can only be held by a cat. Efforts to overturn these laws have been ongoing since.
Introduction of the new Co-op mine and CPIC upsetting the existing balance in town; drawing workers from other companies due to better pay and treatment, but CPIC also facilitating trade for industries and providing work for Teamster's Union.
To come: further ties with Khabai; local cuisine develops;
Goal: become self-sufficient.
Resource: ancient magical water purification plant hidden in the mountain feeds "magical" wellhead in town.
Resource: on the water (port/trade/fishing)
Resource: railroad
Task: set-up communication and trade between Khabai and Myranor
Task: build farms (using Ash Mountain expertise)
