Nogvurot

Nogvurot is a city on the northern end Dwendalian Empire, southwest of Quannah Breach, and east of Rexxentrum.

Demographics
Nogvurot is a major stop along the Glory Run Road, which is why it has a larger population of 15,270. Most of the town is human (70%), but there are smaller minorities of dwarves (17%) and elves (8%) too. Nearly half the population is military reserve for the Righteous Brand, with over six thousand troops present at any time.

Background
In 835 PD, the city was plagued by several abductions, with children going missing. This news spread through the Empire, enough that townsfolk in Zadash were told by town criers to seal their windows and doors while they slept. Xhorhasians were the presumed culprits in these instances.

As the Stubborn Stock was stationed in Nogvurot, they were twice called upon to investigate the kidnappings. In his conversation with the Mighty Nein during the Harvest Close Festival, Darrow revealed that the group had discovered the individuals were stolen in a particular way. He stopped himself before revealing any other details.

Subsequently, the Mighty Nein were told by Essek Thelyss that a great battle had been fought approximately 13–14 years ago near Nogvurot, where a Luxon Beacon was present. The souls of consecuted slain soldiers were reborn into local children, who when they reached adolescence began to remember their past lives. The Dynasty was helping them to return to Kryn society.

Trivia
The name Nogvurot bears a resemblance to the Russian Novgorod, meaning "newtown."
