History - Nordmarken

Prehistory

The first evidence of human habitation can be traced to Alte Höhle (Old Cave) near modern Eichen around 250,000 years ago where tools, weapons, and several cave paintings can be found. The first organized human habitation can be found in the valley of Tiefer Wald, where the modern city of Waldheim sits, and is dated to around 50,000 BC. Abundant cave paintings and other preserved evidence are spread throughout the Alderhorst Mountains including the famous body of Eismann, which is the oldest fully preserved human body after having been frozen in ice over 100,000 years ago.

Ancient History

Around 40000 BC the first major human settlement, Kleine Altstadt, was founded in the Mühlental Valley at Eissee Lake. Kleine Altstadt was inhabited by the Müger people who had come northwest from modern Alteburg and settled in the relatively warm valley. Soon after the founding of Kleine Altstadt, many other groups of people began to settle within the many valleys of the Alderhorst Mountains, including the Waldmenschen who founded several small villages in the . Most of the people inhabiting the region at the time were nomadic, and during the freezing winters would travel north to the warmer region of Middeland, which led many early settlements to fail and collapse.

Geography

UNDER WORK The topography of Nordmarken varies greatly throughout the country. In the south, are the Alderhorst Mountains which are covered with snow for most of the year. These mountains provide vital snowmelt for the many life giving rivers throughout Nordmaken. Further north, are rolling hills, which holds the famous Tannenwald Forest.

Climate

UNDER WORK The climate of Nordmarken varies greatly with the seasons, ranging from below freezing in the winter, to temperatures around 25 c in the summer. The Alderhorst Mountains in the south provide a large barrier for the warm tropical air from the south to enter the country, providing a relatively stable, dry climate.
