''This article covers the city Lanborg. To read the page about the Lanborg Empire, click [[Høvemark/Hófasviði |here]]. 
Lanborg (also Lankhöfuðborg) is the biggest city by planned size of the Thorildsby Project.
Lanborgians nowadays usually speak New Lanborgian ([[Tungmal]], Icelandic), but you will occasionally still come across books written in Old Lanborgian ([[Altsprech]], German). Due to most Lanborgians wanting to clean up their very grim past, Old Lanborgian is only used by criminal organisations such as the [[Lanborgian Nationalist Movement]]. Before [[Altsprech]], there were also Tribal languages, similar to [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occitan_language Occitan]. The name of Lanborg comes from «Lançar» in Tribal, meaning «to throw», as the settlers on the main island often fought with bows. Borg comes from castle, as there is a castle planned there.

==History==
===Initial planning===
At the end of December 2023, [[Thorildsby]] was already a big and prosperous city. Hoping to replicate and expand on [[Thorildsby]]'s unique building style, [[Fyndrix]] and [[Cat]] set out to find places where new cities may be constructed. They eventually found an island surrounded by a river about 2km south of [[Thorildsby]].
A couple of days later, the [[Lanborg central station]] was constructed on a creative world and was later pasted into the map of the [[Thorildsby project]].
[[Fyndrix]] also built the initial buildings, which would become a template for the Colour district over a year later.
===Railway to Thorildsby===
On the 7th of January 2024, [[Fyndrix]] and [[Cat]] wanted to build a railway from Lanborg to [[Thorildsby]]. Just a few minutes earlier they updated the [https://modrinth.com/mod/oculus Oculus] mod. To their horror, when they arrived in [[Thorildsby]] a lot of building blocks from the create mod have disappeared from [[Thorildsby]]. They did manage to recover the damage with help of a back-up world, but this taught them a lesson to always test all mods and updates before using them. This event is now known as the [[7th January Corruption]].
===District of Colour ([[Litasveit]])===
The new district of colour ([[Litasveit]]), which is situated right next to the central station, has been built in a series of Livestreams on [https://www.youtube.com/@Fyn-struggling Fyndrix'] and [https://www.youtube.com/@catstorm_ Cat's] youtube channels.
Its new and unique historic architectural style makes it a very unique and cozy place for inspiration and hanging out. The district that was situated there before the [[Fire of Lanborg]] was made of combustible materials therefore burnt down. [[Litasveit]] was built on the place of the old district, implementing new ideas and mentality of architecture.
===Future===
For the future, [[Fyndrix]] and [[Cat]] have planned three metro lines, a university north of the island, multiple historic districts on the island and areas of contemporary architecture outside of the island.

==Culture==
===[[Cuisine of Lanborg |Cuisine]]===
Lanborg and its region have unique cuisine, which is difficult to describe in one sentence. It is known for many sweets, pepper-related foods and marinated dishes. Melons are also an important part of Lanborgian Cuisine, [[Melon Square]] almost serves as a hotspot of all melon-related foods around the world. Another popular dish is [[Heitare]] (peppers with meat). However, beer is also very popular. Ranging from very light beer over beer with lemonade or caramel all the way up to the ultra-high alcohol content beers which Lanborg is especially popular for.
===Folk music===
Lanborg is often known for its many pubs and bars. For many Lanborgians, these are places to get together and sing songs about war heroes or entirely made up stories. This is suspected to be the reason why most Lanborgians are such kind and friendly people and how they sat through their own folk being slaughtered.

==Lore==
===Early days===
[[File:2025-06-21_21.07.47.png|300px|thumb| The first castle in Lanborg, turned into a public memorial and partially degraded.]]
In -670Ð [[Adriel the Great]] of Lanborg has gained full administrative control over the [[Hófasviði]] region. In order to more thoroughly supervise his territory, [[Adriel the Great]] erected a castle on an island surrounded by a river. "The river would be an excellent barrier against attacking enemies", so [[Adriel the Great]] thought.
Lankhöfuðborg i.e. „The castle from where gets thrown“ grew due to its safety compared to other settlements in the Hófasviði region. Over time, it became one of the most important trading hotspots in the region.
Just before his passing, [[Adriel the Great]] declared that his daughter shall take the throne in Lankhöfuðborg, thus establishing Lanborg's dynasty.

===Port city===
For a long time Lanborg existed peacefully, eventually passing down the throne to [[Ari I]].
In -412Ð he realised that just by building a few canals, Lankhöfuðborg could become an important pit-stop on the route from [[Kalkdui]] to western [[Årania]]n setllements. Many sailors liked being able to buy supplies in Lankhöfuðborg which freed up a lot of space for more cargo. With more and more sailors arriving in Lankhöfuðborg, more people started moving to the town causing an explosion in population and a massive expansion outside of the castle walls until Lankhöfuðborg filled the entire island. What was once just a small administrative castle has turned into one of the most important port cities.
===Lost years===
[[File:the-great-fire-at-chicago-oct-9th-1871-view-from-the-west-side-gibson-and-cos-1.jpg|400px|thumb| The [[Fire of Lanborg]] destroying massive parts of the city -98[[Ð]].]]
From -372Ð up until -98Ð there are barely any surviving records. This is due to big parts of the city going up in flames on -98Ð, destroying massive portions of the city and its archive and essentially erasing a huge chunk of Lanborgian history. However, experts assume that trade continued peacefully during these years, besides potentially a small war in the north against [[Årania]], which would explain some small land gains on Hófasviði's side. We do not know, if this war is in any way related to later wars between [[Hófasviði]] and [[Årania]].

===[[Ari II]]===
In -96Ð, after his predecessor passed whilst trying to protect Lankhöfuðborg from the fire, [[Ari II]] was coronated.
[[Ari II]] is nowdays known as an irresponsable dictator as he declared minimum sizes for boats, caused three megainflations and he threatened to bump up taxes, if someone said something not to his liking. 
Unexpectedly, [[Ari II]] got fatally ill in -81Ð. His last decree was for [[Einar]] to start a war against [[Årania]], as [[Ari II]] always suspected the [[Årania]]ns to be responsible for the city and archive burning down.
===[[War against Årania]]===
Following his fathers orders, [[Einar]] declared war against [[Årania]] in -67Ð. After just a few days, [[Åranvik]] surrendered. 
Over the next 18.5Ð, thousands of Åranians were forced to work or killed. Most traces of this time only exist as artifacts or in some very faint memories.
However, the [[Åranvik]] resistance was planning out an attempt to overthrow the Lanborgian supervisor with support of [[Thorildhøj]] and [[Kalkdui]]. Nearly all stationed Lanborgian military personnel were killed and [[Åranvik]]'s supervisor was publicly executed at -48.46Ð. This moment marks the independance of Åranvik.
[[Årania]] then took back massive amounts of territory from Hófasviði leading to the borders that we still have between the two regions today.
===Aftermath of the occupation===
Back in Lanborg, many Lanborgians were completely oblivious to the horrors that happened in [[Årania]]. When the [[Årania]]n government forced the king to tell the Lanborgians about the occupation, many people were very unhappy with their emperor, [[Einar II]], as they have been repeatedly lied to for a long time now. Inner resistance movements were established more often, but those were quickly dissolved. It took until the [[Northern Coalition]], ([[Årania]], [[Thorildhøj]], [[Kalkdui]] and [[Pantokyst]]) made a peace proposal about creating a [[Commonwealth]] of Nations at around -9Ð. Peace for the rest of the Lanborgians' lives was promised to all Lanborgians that went to the public squares, such as [[Melon Square]] and protested while resisting to go away, blocking major nodes in the city. However, [[Einar II]] was still against this and punished everyone who protested.
===[[Unified Commonwealth]]===
Shortly before 0Ð, hundreds of Lanborgians assembled at [[Melon Square]] and other squares, went on their knees and started speaking repeatedly „We hail the [[Commonwealth]], the saving republic.“ [[Einar II]] started slaughtering the people who kneeled, but they did not resist as they believed peace would come. And indeed, [[Fyn]] stepped in and killed [[Einar II]]. Following this, the plan of the [[Commonwealth]], which combined all regions into one single government, was brought to life. The creation of the [[Commonwealth]] is defined to be exactly at 0[[Ð]]. Following this, [[Fyndrix]] appointed [[Kat]] as chancellor.

[[File:lanborg_metro_station.png|300px|thumb|Central metro station in Lanborg.]]
==Transport==
At the moment, not a lot of transport exist in Lanborg, however there are lots of plans for the future. 
Mainly, Lanborg will have at least three metro lines. The first station's design should be mimicking the metro stations in Stockholm, especially [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T-Centralen_metro_station T-Centralen].
Lanborg also has a central station from where you can take trains to [[Thorildsby]], [[Åranvik]] and [[Røde Myr]].

==Notable People==
Lanborg has produced some important people in history and modern media except for politicians.
===[[Erich Reimer]]===
[[File:portret-van-dr-sfa007001970-49432f.jpg|300px|thumb|[[Reimer]] in his apartment in Lanborg, -54[[Ð]].]]
Erich Reimer is considered to be one of the most influencial inventors of his time, with his peak of carriere being in -52[[Ð]]. He is famous for inventing the harvesting of thermal energy from the planet's core, which is now used as energy generation everywhere. This invention was kept a secret, as during the unsuccsesful testing a massive earthquake was caused. As an inventor, he had close ties to the government, which during the [[War of Dignity]] he lived in, had a bad reputation and conspiracy theories about starting the war (which turned out to be correct). He knew his invention would be used for the destruction of thousands of lives, so [[Reimer]] commited suicide and painted a new image of the government, as he published top secret military documents on the day of the suicide. This lead to massive protests, which were then quickly solved using violence - therefore spreading awareness of a totalitarian regime. We know this valuable information through his diary and documents buried near [[Straskur]] - the location of them was revealed by his brother after the downfall of [[Einar]], at 0[[Ð]]. After the documents' publication, inventors from around the then new [[Commonwealth]] improved [[Reimer]]'s design and made it much safer.

[[File:aarania_map.png|300px|thumb|A map of Årania with [[Åranvik]] and [[Lyvan]] marked]]

Årania, also known as Aarania or Arania is a region in the [[Thorildsby Project]]. It borders [[Thorildhøj]] in the north and [[Høvemark]] in the south. It has two cities: [[Åranvik]] and [[Lyvan]], with [[Åranvik]] being the biggest city of Årania and also the capitol. 
Its national colour is deep Orange, and its national flower is the Åranian [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leontopodium_nivale Edelweiss], also depicted on the banner and flag of Årania.
==Transport==
Before trains existed, people were hiking across Åranvik, no matter how long the journey was. As Årania is a very religious country, lots of temples were built along the hiking trail between [[Åranvik]] and [[Lyvan]]. They can still be prayed in and seen today. Recently, a [[rail]] connection was established between [[Åranvik]] and [[Lyvan]], the [[Unified Rail#RS-Trains|RS1]]

[[File:Sorgry_1.jpg|300px|thumb|Famous [[Sorgry]], made of Bone broth, mushrooms, noodles, boiled egg and chicken.]]
==Culture==
*Cuisine
Åranians eat lots of thick soup called Gry, which is very popular in [[Lyvan]], such as [[Fiskegry]] or [[Sorgry]]. Gry is eaten more commonly in rural reagions and [[Lyvan]] and not as often in [[Åranvik]]. 
Their cuisine is also very famous for its small pumpkin custard pastry - [[Paastje]]. It is very popular in urban regions as [[Åranvik]] or [[Lyvan]]. Sweet rolls called [[Sødsnegl]] are also popular in the same urban bakeries.
*Holidays
A famous holiday in Årania is the Paradisdag. It celebrates the independence fighters in the [[War for Årania]]. Participants take an orange flag or banner and orange wish paper and let it go at night.

[[File:Aarania-economy.png|left|350px|thumb]]
==Economy==
Before -48Ð, the economy of Årania was falling apart, as during the partial occupation of Årania by [[Lanborg]], all leftovers of any industry were forced to be sent to [[Lanborg]] and had no chance to develop. After the war, Årania gained a massive forced donation by [[Lanborg]] as a reperation the the damage done during the war. Using the money, Årania became the fastest developing region at the time. The economy was aided even more, when the [[Commonwealth]] demanded that [[Lanborg]] donated even more money as reparations. That money was not focused on the economy, but rather on medicine and education.
===Agriculture===
Agriculture is by far the largest field of industry in Årania. Because of its warm summers, large amounts of sun days and abundance of drinking water, it is one of the best places to grow crops. The land on the interior of the country is drier than on the river deltas and bays, so it usually not farmed in the interior of the country. Additionally, the soil on the bays and deltas is much richer. Årania is such a big exporter of crops, that the neighbouring region [[Thorildhøj]] relies on Årania to export a portion of their crops to them. The industry produces 250% of what Årania can consume.
===Shipbuilding===
Årania is the biggest builder of ships in the northern [[Commonwealth]]. [[AVII]] has their biggest boat factory in [[Åranvik]], which was historically an important place of sea trade. The shipbuilding industry is rapidly decreasing however, as demand gets lower each year. Some reasons for that might be that wars are very unlikely to happen due to the [[Commonwealth]] and other countries don't need military sea vehicles anymore. Also, the quality of the boats is the best in the [[Commonwealth]], so the boats will be used for many decades of [[Ð]]; the places that needed boats already recieved them and will only need to replace them in the far future.
===Tourism===
Årania is a perfect destination for tourists looking to see unique architecture, great food, wonderful culture and sunny beaches. Most tourists visit the capitol, [[Åranvik]] by train. The tourism sector in Årania is an industry that rises very slowly, making up about 18% of the economy.
===Others===
Other important industry sectors include financial services, fishing and forestry.
==Languages==
There are two very similar languages spoken in [[Årania]], that being [[Åranian]] and [[Thorildsk]]. Both of them are mutually intelligible. [[Åranian]] is used everywhere, however a small [[Thorildhøj]]an minority exists, which prefers [[Thorildsk]]. [[Åranian]] as the main language, is forced to be taught in schools. However, after the scholars are confident in their language skills, they can replace half of their [[Åranian]] lessons with [[Thorildsk]] lessons. This acceptance of [[Thorildhøj]]an culture has been introduced by the minority party during the introduction of the [[Commonwealth]].

[[File:Aarania_banner.png|auto|thumb|The famous Årania banner is also seen as a symbol of freedom in Åranvik]]
