Jornstad was a city in Eastern Kjeldor, on the continent of Terisiare at the time of the Dominarian Ice Age.

Description

Jornstad was the biggest city in Eastern Kjeldor. It lay right on the border of Fyndhorn. Merchant and passenger caravans constantly went through the city's sturdy gates. The main avenue was adorned with towering poplar trees and colorful banners, and it ran through the well-kept public gardens known as Rothchild Park. An exquisite marble fountain adorned the park, where two stone lions wrestled amid the splashing water. Beyond the gardens was the hub of activity in Jornstad. Shops, pubs, and meeting houses lined both sides of the street. Tobacconists mingled with wizards, beggars, and sculptors. Preachers and blacksmiths walked alongside carpenters and scholars. Jornstad celebrated a Snow Festival in winter.^[1]

History

Although Krov was the capital and Kjeld was the royal city of Kjeldor at the end of the Ice Age, Lord Rothchild lived and worked from Jornstad.^[1] It may be that the capital was placed in Jornstad temporarily during Rothchild's regency.

Since Jornstad lay right on the edge of Fyndhorn, it likely fell beneath the ocean along with the forest during the Flooding of Terisiare.
