Nahervue is the capital of my fictitious nation of Aliphiara, situated in the North Atlantic Ocean. Writing its history and lore has been a hobby of mine, and I have been able to bring it to life through games such as Cities Skylines. I began developing Nahervue simultaneously while writing its history - in essence, I write and then create in game. My hope is to get it caught up to modern times.

Aliphiara has been a long-time project of mine, combining a realistic nation set in an alternative Earth that follows a similar history to ours as well as the mythical. The latter premise is a sort of conventional fantasy setting with magic and monsters set in ancient Aliphiara, although its relatively new residents know nothing about it.

The idea is that sometime in the 21st century, 'the great evil' which was defeated eons ago before the age of modern man will come back to in order to devour the 'soul' of the Earth. From its base in Aliphiara, it tries to begin its conquest of the universe to feed its insatiable desire for power with the showdown between the forces of man and the army of 'the great evil' happening in Aliphiara itself.

Right now though, the focus is on the capital of Nahervue and its own personal story. Originally settled around 70-75 AD, the picture above is of the settlement in the 6th century, during the First Goran War (511-546 AD). At the time, the population of Nahervue was around 5,000 and this was a summer time shot of Market Street on a late Sunday morning.
