Sigrisaell

Sigrisaell, a once insignificant trading town at the foot of the Kaldbak mountain range, was the sight of the final battle between the Gríma Vorðr {vor-thir} - The Hidden Guard - and the Myklu Liðit {lee-theet} - The Great Horde - and the town bore witness to the tilting point in the Kornarok, a terrible war waged against the Free Peoples of Fjalltin (the northernmost continent in Iotnheim) over 2 centuries ago. Today Sigrisaell is the crown jewel of the Eng-mjöll, the southern lands of Fjalltin. It is home to the largest population in Fjalltin, and seat to the Dwarf King Ymirniðr {ee-mir-ni-thir}, the mightiest of the dwarven lords. At its heart stands the crystallized remains of the Sjauhermaðr {Sh-jie-hair-ma-thur} - the legendary heroes that defended the town's temple to Ymir against several assaults. The temple was a symbolic bastion of hope and the lone building to withstand a half year siege of the town, which served as a critical entry to the dwarven strongholds within the Kaldbak's underbelly. It was at the doors of this temple that the Sjauhermaðr faced the leaders of the Myklu Liðit, the Aesir Magni and Modi, along with the nightmare host of hags, ogres, trolls and other fell beasts the Aesir brothers led. The battle is said to have lasted for several hours, and by its end, only Ymirniðr stood alive, having watched his brethren fall in battle. The Sjauhermaðr’s defeat of Magni and Modi is celebrated with the Sigraboð, a seven day festival marking the final week of Dauðrvetr and first day of ísabrot.
