Vanaheim

“	"Im creating a town you all are invited to it."	”

Vanaheim was a town in the Hammerlands served as the seat of the Scylfings power during Dragonhollow's Seventh Era.
It was founded by Wiz on 7E:62 upon thick jungle and clay soil land confiscated from Reqll, whom the Scylfings had killed and driven from the planet. It was located just downriver from Hammerlea on the River Lethe, an crucial waterway for transportation and trade.
Lit entirely by glowstone visible through the jungles for half a kilometer, Vanaheim was to be a great walled city central to the Hammerlands community. Wiz used as his model the vibrant Fifth Era metropolis of Sprankleton, one of the largest settlements in history.
Foundations for the walls were partially laid and the Scylfings took over a storehouse built into a nearby mountain by Reqll, erecting a shrine there for the egg of the dragon Amaranth. Timber clearcutting of the dense jungle began shortly thereafter.
Wiz announced to the world that all were welcome to become residents and that all those who did would be under the protection of the Scylfings. Because the clan was attacking people all across the Hammerlands through use of the Player Tracker, this represented a way for them escape death. 
Absurd built a treehouse in Vanaheim and several other citizens built residences.
Nevertheless, some were wary of Wiz's intentions and skeptical of his motives, concerned with being affiliated with murderous brigands or becoming their vassals. Others, like their enemy Sleekit—who referred to Vanaheim as “New Clown Town”—outright refused the invitation on principle.
On 7E:67, the town was damaged by unknown assailants. Wiz placed the blame squarely on Sleekit's shoulders, suspecting he was responsible because of their troubled history. His suspicions were realized in full on 7E:89 when Sleekit captured Vanaheim by taking over the expired claim deed, raising the flags of his Overkingdom above it and dealing a harsh blow to the Scylfings. This military occupation continued throughout the remaining days of the Seventh Era.
