Varhaldsby is a de jure city of Normandie. Varhaldsby is a strategically significant city currently under the occupation of Neo-Vanic Keltia Restoration Movement. Located in the far northern territories of the former Storish realm, Varhaldsby has historically played an important role despite its remote and often harsh geographical conditions.
History
Varhaldsby was officially part of the High Realm of Stormark between 1474 AN and 1685 AN, during which it flourished as a vital outpost and trading hub in the frozen north. Even after its peripheral location, the city held significant economic and logistical value, particularly for naval routes and Arctic exploration.
Following the collapse of Stormark, the city became part of the semi-autonomous Lysstyrer Region from 1685 to 1705. After this brief period of autonomy, the city fell into a prolonged period of abandonment, its population dwindling as strategic interest shifted elsewhere.
However, in recent years, the Keltia Restoration Movement (KLM) recognized the city's renewed importance due to its location and infrastructure potential. As a result, Varhaldsby was reoccupied and repurposed as a forward base for the Neo-Vanic forces.
Features
Varhaldsby has a population of approximately 58,000. Uniquely adapted to its environment, the city is characterized by its distinctive ice igloo-style detached houses, which form the backbone of its residential areas. These igloos are not primitive shelters but advanced structures with functional electrical and hot water systems integrated into their design.
Clusters of igloo-style homes are often grouped around wooden apartment blocks, providing both community centers and vertical housing solutions for families and workers. This fusion of traditional Arctic island architecture and modern amenities has long set Varhaldsby apart from other northern settlements.
Present Day
Under Neo-Vanic occupation, Varhaldsby has seen a partial revival. The strategic significance of the city lies in its proximity to Arctic routes and its robust cold-weather infrastructure, which allows it to serve as a key logistical and military node. While life under occupation remains tense, the city’s unique architecture and historical legacy continue to make it a focal point in the northern frontier of the Keltian continent.
