History
Early settlement
The first humans appeared during the Conjunction of the Spheres in the form of numerous Dauk, Migwesk and Wozgor tribes. During the first half of the 9th century, the area was also explored by Skelliger traders and mercenaries.
In the 10th century, the kings of neighbouring Yamurlak, themselves hosting an influx of Redanians from the south, sponsored the Nordling colonization of Tammerfors and other northern territories. Settlers from Redania and Yamurlak flooded the harsh yet relatively monster-free area of the north; instead of swearing fealty, they established their own tiny realms in the area, Tammerfors among them.
East March and Hengfors League
Tammerfors eventually became a part of the East March of Kovir and Poviss, and was governed by castellans on behalf of the March's margraves from Houses of Harcourt and Thyssen. When the March collapsed during the Defenestration of Hengfors, Castellan of Tammerfors Alan Korber aided the last margrave's son Audoen in recapturing Hengfors city, and in return obtained the title of a count and a parcel of land in the city.
Following the expulsion of the Order of the Flaming Rose from Hengfors League, Niedamir granted northern areas of Tammerfors region to Knights Stirruppers, making them guardians of the League's wildest border.
Geography and climate
Tammerfors is situated in northern part of the League, touching the snowy Dragon Mountains.
