Nymisvarden

Nymisvarden is a city-state located on the edge of the Great Cliff. The College of Nymisvarden is located here, as is Cavern Bay and the Undercity. Previously part of Aedovar, the city and surrounding land for several miles were purchased by the dwarves of [insert name of nation here] several years ago.

The College is a center of political alliances and strives to maintain neutrality with all powers. Many principalities, political powers, and wealthy families send their progeny or servants to Nymi to seek a formal education.

For six years, the College has also had a program that educates the young orphans of the city and provides help finding work.

On [insert day here - Taylor, did I give the exact date? I have it in my notes somewhere, I believe. Approximately 21st of Qenil, 2979 PD], the population of Nymisvarden was ravaged by the ancient plague/entity known as the Hollow. The two main areas affected include the northwest quadrant of the city and the Great Library of Nymisvarden. Seven hours after the first reported appearance of a Hollow, the city was in turmoil as MDST (Magical Drop Shock Troopers - working title) forces, the militia, and the army struggled to contain the Hollows and save as many civilians as possible. Many adventurers struggled against the menace, including Aberron and Adara Nightingale, who were spotted near Yemo's Street. At dusk, a massive explosion obliterated the College and a portion of the city. Huge chunks of the cliffside and rubble from the explosion fell to the ocean below, largely blocking the port of Nymi.

Background
In the year 2975[ish], the dwarven kingdom of [shoot. I keep forgetting to think of a name. This is the kingdom that includes Roganhome (Upper, North, Central, South, and Lower), Tuldek, and probably some other dwarven cities] purchased Nymisvarden, the College, and several acres of surrounding land from the kingdom of Aedovar.

Addtional Details / Info / To-do
Unbeknownst to most of the people, the Hollow is another aspect of the force behind the Darkness, 2,978 years prior. The empty, black-plated, 8-foot-tall figure in Maester Luwin's office/study is a powerful servant of the force that caused the Darkness. Upon its destruction at the hands of Maester Luwin and [name redacted], all the Hollows under its control fell to the ground, dazed. After getting back to their feet, the Hollows were found to be far less deadly, though still organized by some sort of hive mind.
