City of Hiljorn

As the largest human city in the northern region, Hiljorn was one of the main city connected to northern trade as well as being a stronghold for the people to flee too.

The Lone Guard (4800 BHE)
During the First War, the many human settlements on the main land lay in waste. in order to protect the people, people erected many outposts that guarded the human territories against their non-human neighbors. Of those, one of the outposts was the outpost of Hiljorn which was founded by a member of the House of Hiljorn. As time went by, many of the outposts lay in ruins, refugees flooded the remaining outposts or fled south. The overcrowding forced the understaffed outpost to expand to try and accommodate the people.

As time went by, the refugees and the remaining forces in the northern region all gathered at one last outpost reinforcing it and expanding it after many assaults. Near the end, the once wooden outpost turned into a small fortified town becoming the lone guard that stood protecting the northern lands.

The Survivors (4550 BHE)
The settlement of Hiljorn was unofficially established during the First War, but became an official settlement after the war. The settlement was established by Commander Karl Hiljorn the last active commander before the outpost was dissolved. From then on, Karl's descendents overlooked the northern lands while serving their first king Eranor.

The Northern Capital (4450 BHE)
With the formation of the Eranor Kingdom and the northern borders stabilized once more, the City of Hiljorn became the northern capital for the newly formed Duchy of Hiljorn.

The Northern Borders
With the north secured, the humans and other beings began to reclaim and resettle the lands in the north once more, nearly 50 years after the formation of the Duchy, several small kingdoms and independent nations grew, some even passing the Norgoth Mountain Ranges. However, despite the large success in reclaiming the lost lands and expanding, another invasion destroyed the northern kingdoms bringing Hiljorn to guard the border once more.

During the Peace
Hiljorn is known to be a location where the royal family vacation often, thus bringing close ties to the House of Hiljorn and the Royal House of Eranor. It has been known that a number of members from both Houses intermarried over the years.

The Fall of the Eranor Empire
With the fall of the empire and the House of Eranor wiped out, one of the members of the House of Hiljorn who was also an indirect descendant of the Line of Eranor rallied the people and established the Drakken Kingdom. However, the capital for the new Drakken Kingdom was not to be Hiljorn but rather further south.

Due to the war and chaos, and the weakening of the House of Hiljorn, the city of Hiljorn slowly fell into ruin. While there are inhabitants still in the city, it is now a pale reflection of its old beauty.
