Himling is a Small island in the Belegaer that is 100% neutral and that is not involved in any conflict
Lore[]
Himling is an island that once was a hill in Beleriand on which the fortress 'Himring' was built. This fortress was belonged to the sons of Fëanor, especially Maedhros lived here. The fortress was abandoned when the house of Fëanor no longer had the strength to man it. After the War of Wrath, the top of the hill was all that remained, as a small island off the northwest coast.
(unofficial lore, made up by netherking_aat)
During the third age a lot of people in Middle-Earth became sick of the continuing wars and wanted to leave for a peaceful and quiet place. Some of the elves that wanted to leave didn't want to leave for Valinor, since they knew once they got there, there was no return. These elves remembered the fortress Himring and knew that the hill still remained as an island. The news of the repopulation soon spread across the land and the humans that wanted to leave also started to set sail for Himling, this resulted in the fact that Himling is the place with the highest population of half-elves. Only the dwarves who were relatively safe inside their mines and never loved ships didn't set sail to peace.
During 'the war of the ring' The population of Himling increased fast and some of the elders decided that with a population like that they needed a king. After several months of discussion the people of Himling elected the half-elf Eroth to be the king.
After the war Himling became rich due to its trade relations with all kinds of lands. This caused even more people (even dwarves) to migrate to the island. Some wealthy people of Middle-Earth also like to spend their holidays on the islands many hotels and resorts.
Server history[]
this faction was founded by current ruler Eroth (netherking_aat). He wanted to create a peacefull place where all other factions could come together without fighting. This island was the perfect location for those ideals because there are no NPCs that spawn here naturally. Right now everyone is allowed to come to Himling as long as they obey its rules.
