Thorildsby is the biggest and first city to ever be built. It was started by Fyndrix and Cat while trying to test the new Create Mod features, which explains its proximity to 0;0. The first ever street was First Way (Først Vej), with similar buildings to Nyhavn, which were built by Fyndrix as an experiment. Later, this became a flagship Thorildsby building style. The first house ever built, now has a FYNesco plaque. After the colourful Nyhavn matching district was finished, construction began on Legeplads or Fabrikken, a modern quarter of the city [1]. It has recieved multiple prizes for creativity, efficient space use and sustainability, making it the first modern district ever. At the same time, Cat proposed and idea for a dark district, Mørkby. It only consists of deepslate bricks and limestone pillars, giving great contrast to Thorildsby's colourful buildings. Simultaniously the Friendship District, the Kontorkvartier and the Old Town Thorildsby were built. This concludes that 90% of all buildings were built by Fyndrix.

Return to Thorildsby

After Fyndrix and Cat moved on to new cities like Åranvik (Blåflod) a lot of time and experience passed. After having expanded Åranvik (Blåflod) enough to deserve a break, Fyndrix noticed how much better he got at building and wanted to upgrade Thorildsby's streets and buildings to the new era. This is how the Great Reparation of Thorildsby was born. The reparations added many Azalea trees, greenery and mixed pavement to Thorildsby. After the reparation had begun in October of 2024, many businesses, such as Cafes and art shops were added to Thorildsby.

Today

"Thorildsby is finished to 90%", says Fyndrix, owner and representative of the server, "unique businesses are opened often in Thorildsby because there is not a lot of other things to build. As the reparations inside Thorildsby are also finished, we move onto projects in the metropolitain area of Thorildsby, for example the Light Rail Thorildsby to Dalen route that was just reparated."

Culture

Cuisine

Famous cuisine from Thorildsby includes: Spandauer(blue and red); sweet, chocolate and golden berries and Apple Pie and Honeyed Apple. Thorildsbynians usually didn't drink beer, wine or raw alcohol, instead they drink Apple Cider, a very popular drink ranging from 0% to 15% alcohol. Nowadays, on rare ocassions, Suðuáttbjór from Grantorvet is counsumed.

Opera

Thorildsby has an Opera in Legeplads, allowing for foreigners to experience Thorildsby's famous operas such as Blodregn (Blood rain) and Pink Future.

Stereotypes

Thorildsbynians are famous for overpaying for everything and being very closed in. Anything out of the ordinary scares them. Because of the help in the liberation of Årania, they are also seen as the most loyal friends one could have.

Architecture

Thorildsby's historic core consists of very many different building styles and materials, ranging from pure wood to deepslate and terracotta. To learn more about architecture, look at the districts section.

Transport

Thorildsby has a tram, called the Light Rail Thorildsby or Letbane which features three lines reaching Grantorvet, Dalen and Grønbjerg. From the FYNesco-protected Thorildsby C there also is a regional train from Thorildsby to Åranvik (Blåflod) and Pantoborg. From the same place a high-speed X-Train that goes to Lanborg exists. Walking in western Thorildsby is very easy, as there are big hills or big crossings. Western Thorildsby (Legeplads) is seperated from the historic core by a wall, making transportation a problem there.

Corruption of 7th January

On the 7th January 2024, after Fyndrix tried to update Oculus' version to the newest, all create mod items in loaded chunks got removed. That was an easy fix for him, as he was on straight tracks from Thorildsby to Lanborg. Sadly, a part of Thorildsby is in spawn chunks and is always loaded, causing the pillars in Mørkby as well as tram tracks to be deleted. The shocking realisation happened during a lifestream, which is now private. The fix of the corruption took about two weeks and encouraged backups do be created more often in case another tragedy happens.

Districts

Thorildsby's main districts are: Friendship District, Mørkby, Old Town Thorildsby, Legeplads or Fabrikken, Kontorkvartier, Svampene, First Way or Først Vej and Organstad.

Sister City

Thorildsby's only sister city is Åranvik in Årania. These two cities have been closely tied together by history, for example, Thorildsby helped Åranvik during its fight for independence, even having established a colony, Kavenø.
