Nidaros

Nidaros is the northern settlement of the Norvik region. It is the capital of Norvik and is located between the Norwegian Sea and The Iron Mountains. Nidaros is built on a cliffside overlooking the sea and stretches into the base of the mountains. Due to the elevations, cool winds break though the settlement and hit the mountains. Most of the year snowfall covers the region around Nidaros.

Government

Uthal Ha-vard Jarl Of Nidaros is the many governing force of town. Jarl Uthal makes the by-laws and sentences breakers of it, although he is not known to carry out and of the punishments himself. The laws are fairly simple:

• Do not murder a free Vik.
• Do not steal from a free Vik
• Do not slander an honorable name.
• Do not slander the Gods.

Punishment for law breakers could possibly be:

• Death (usually carried out by ones family)(sometimes beheading)
• Exile from Kaupang (forced to leave not to return)
• Stoned to near death by townsfolk (brings HP to 1)
• Simple Fine (amount determined by Jarl)

In situation of feuds a duel can be arranged. The winner is who drawls first blood of their opponent. During summer months Uthal Ha-vard Jarl Of Nidaros funds raids to the eastern and southern countries in hopes to gain more wealth. Raid members are selected by the Jarl himself.

Defences

Nidaros is protected by large mountain ranges surrounding it to the north, south, and east. To the west the Norwegian Sea crashes to dangerous rocky cliffs. Only a skilled sailor would be able to safely enter Nidaros.

Industry & Trade

The main fruit of Nidaros is its Iron Mines. Iron and Iron-craft are the most valuable exports the town trades for essentials such as food and cloth to survive in such harsh environments. Fisherman provide the town with some food, but not enough without outside trade.

Infrastructure

Nidaros is the main supplier of Iron in the Vik territories, which makes it an important staple in the culture. Due to the settlements location it trades almost exclusively with the town Kaupang which in turn makes Kaupang an important trade hub. Nidaros is well known for its master blacksmiths and expert sailors. Most of its imports consist of various types of food and cloth, due to its harsh weather conditions.
