Skyloff (City)

Skyloff is the capital of Skyloff, of which it was named after. It was founded by Katherine Prokachev and Stefan Struna (or Stefan and Katherine Pravitel) in 1233 A.T.

It has withstood fires, earthquakes, avalanches, blizzards, and other disasters.

Foundation
Travelers Katherine Prokachev and Stefan Struna founded the village Sky-loff, which became know to inhabitants and foreigners as "Skyloff." The founding of the village were the beginning coals of the new Skyloffian Empire.

As of 1333 A.T., one hundred years later, Skyloff (city) covered much land. About 10,000 inhabitants lived there.

Disaster
In 1337 A.T., the forests of the Winter Mountains caught fire. Records show many houses burned, and livestock and humans were killed.

Recovery
Soon though, the city of Skyloff became a grand city. It's mighty, towering walls were an addition to show the mighty city's power. Up open a higher stretch of land, the Velikiy Pravoslavnuyu Tserkov', or the Grand Orthodox Church, was built. The royal palace stood near the hill on a lower hill, but still, its towers of marble and gold stood high, showing the authority of the Royal Family.

Threatened by the Jorvikings
Near the completion of the Grand Orthodox Church, Jorvikings began raiding sea-faring, mercantile Skyloffian cities. The people of Skyloff did not worry, for Jorvikings rarely crossed long stretches of land (other than their own).

About three days later, a merchant reported that the Jorvikings were less than a week away. The Townsman Council began hurriedly discussions.

Luckily, the brutal Skyloffian winter came, forcing the Jorvikings back to their ships.
