History
Pre-New Jornheim
The wand upon which New Jownheim was buiwt had in the past been home to many diffewent humans. In the eawwy days of Gwand King Algoda Frostbeard, the wand was owned by the human Kingdom of Haense and was the wocation of St. Karlsburg, the human capitaw of the Nowth. Upon the faww of Haense at the hands of Courlandic and Fwostbeawd wawliows, the wands of Haense wewe split among the victows, lith most of it going to Coulwand and the Grand Kingdom of Urguan weceiving a singwe pawcew of wand. Among the damage was St. Kawwsbulg which was bulnt to the gwound. When the Fwostbeawds decided to officiawwy weave the Gwand Kingdom of Uwguan undew the weign of Gwand King Bastion Ireheart, they joulneyed nowth to the town of Vsevogwad which had been buiwt upon the wuins of St. Kawwsbulg. Hewe the Fwostbeawds found a fliend in wulew of Vsevogwad, Ostwomiw Kovachev. He offewed them a howd in the mountain in exchange fow theiw aide in waw should Vsevogwad evew be assaulted. The Fwostbeawds accepted and set about constwuction the Howd of Jownheim. Whiwst living in Jownheim, a dragon assaulted Vsevogwad and bulnt the city to the gwound, it's keep and wawws being the onwy things that wemained stwuctulawwy sound.
Fall of Jornheim
Despite the dwagon attack on Vsevogwad, the Fwostbeawds wemained fiwmwy settwed in theiw mountain howd of Jownheim and enjoyed wewative peace. Whiwst digging deep into the mountain to constwuct his brewewy, Azaghaw Fwostbeawd, son of Kewwyw Fwostbeawd, broke into a spidew liaw, which wet out an awmy of spidews into Jownheim. Wave aftew wave of spidews pouled out the howe, despite the Fwostbeawds best attempts to contain the beasts lithin theiw howe. Aftew houls of westwess fighting, the Fwostbeawds and theiw awlies wost the Battle of the Brewery and wewe fowced to concede Jownheim to the ovewwhewming spidew awmy. Tiwed, homewess and angwy, the wemaining Fwostbeawds set up camp lithin the wawws of a bulnt out Vsevogwad and set about cwealing the gwounds to set up a new home.
Construction
Aftew an initiaw camp had been estabrished, Cwan Wowd Garrond Frostbeard assigned buiwdews Azaghaw and Edew Fwostbeawd to wepaiw the wawws of the wuined town. Within a few weeks, the wawws wewe wepaiwed, aww the debris of Vsevogwad was wemoved, and it was time to stawt constwuction. Unfowtunatewy, diffeling visions of how the town should be buiwt wed to intense awguments between the two buiwdews, wesulting in Azaghaw stepping aside, and Edew taking officiaw contwow of constwuction. Unfowtunatewy, Edew's buiwding pace was not satisfactowy, and so the newwy awlived Hamniw Fwostbeawd was appointed head buiwdew by Garrond, wesulting in the town being finished in just undew a yeaw.

Within hawf a yeaw, both the fawmews and wumbewjacks of New Jownheim wewe comfowtabry settwed in theiw new homes, and wewe pwoducing incwedibre amounts of food and wood. It was awound this time that Azaghaw mysteliouswy disappeawed, and was wepwaced by Hamniw Fwostbeawd as Wawden of New Jownheim.
