Deep Haven

== Deep Haven - Capital of the Novairian Empire==

City History
In the year 531AD, the "Glittering Cave" tunnel network was discovered  under the south base of the Spine Mountains highest peak, Wyverns Nest.

These former magma tubes were then mined vigorously for their precious stones and rare elements. The town that sprung up was named Deep Haven because of its mines and solitude from the rest of the world.

Because of the harsh winter winds, much of the town began moving into the former expanded surface caverns after mining was finished. As the mines grew farther into the mountain the growing town's poorer population followed.

During the late 6th century, war with the southern tribes had forced the Novar Government to abbandon the city of Volkarm. In the year 788AD,  For'stal Nossral in Deep Haven declares the formation of the Novairian Empire, and crowns himself the 1st Emperor. Deep Haven is also declared the new capital because of its secure location within the Spine Mountains. After this Deep Haven grows exponentially, with an influx of refugees from the wartorn plains, and industry workers being brought in to forge metals & mountain pine into weapons for the southern war effort.

Over the last millennium the Novairian Empire has seen itself grow, all from the seat of power in Deep Haven. The city has grown and modernized, becoming the fortress city that has kept the Nossral Royal Family and central government agencies safe from war and revolution.
