Vorstheim

Vorstheim — “The Iron Still”

Symbol: A snowflake engraved on steel.
Motto: “Strength in stillness.”
Core Belief: Discipline and logic preserve humanity when emotion fails.
Society Type: Militarized technocracy.
Currency: Iron Marks — stamped alloys representing labor output.

Lore:
Vorstheim is the coldest and most disciplined of the three — a city of perfect symmetry, where every building, corridor, and breath is measured. Its generator burns efficiently, never lavishly.
The people of Vorstheim, known as The Stillborn, are stoic warriors-engineers. They believe emotion led the old world to ruin, and only order can preserve humanity’s flame.
They worship no gods, only the Equation of Continuance — a code of logic that guides every decision, from resource allocation to life and death.
Vorstheim trades machinery and precision tools, but its envoys are feared — silent figures clad in frost-plated armor, who treat treaties as equations, not promises.
Their leader, Architect-General Rhelka, believes that when the other cities fall to chaos, Vorstheim will inherit the world.
