Nowhere, Originally NoTown (which was a town founded by user ThePit_ on November 19th, 2020), is a small town located South West of HighTide and North East North of 0,0.
The town consists of a single island housing a large castle standing tall among the ice burgs in the frozen ocean around it. Inside the castle are small stone, cobblestone andesite and stone brick houses with spruce plank roofing. Nowhere was a part of the Federation of Arith, formally the FCA (Free Cities of Alathra) , however this was not intended as the former leader and owner of Nowhere, Isenhiem, wished for the town to stay independent from any other nation.
History
NoTown and the Age of the Gods
On November 19th, 2020, ThePit_ founded the city of NoTown, creating Fort Gillamore. Around this time, it is believed that one of the gods of Alathra, Zedd, assisted with the construction of the fort using a human guise. Regardless, Fort Gillamore soon expanded into a bustling city-center, complete with a blacksmith, armory, bookstore, church, and town hall. ThePit_ and Zedd are responsible for much of the current buildings as they are seen today.

Between March and April 2021, ThePit_ abandoned Fort Gillamore, leaving NoTown to go bankrupt and thus become dissolved.
Abandonment
From April to May 2021, Fort Gillamore remained abandoned, falling prey to looters. During this time, many of the buildings deteriorated from the ransacking as well as from the passage of time.
Mausia
On May 21, 2021, TNT_Shooter42 founded the town of Mausia, taking up residence on a nearby iceburg and claiming Fort Gillamore as a potential expansion area. However, on May 31, Mausia failed to pay its upkeep, and thus was also dissolved.
The FCA and the AIP
After Mausia's downfall, the Free Cities of Alathra tentatively considered annexing Fort Gillamore as a southern outpost. However, these plans were complicated when the Alathran Independent Press, also noting Mausia's downfall, decided to set up their headquarters there. After tense negotiations between Head Scribe Zaktoslph and Prime Minister spiceymonkey1349, the AIP decided to move their headquarters elsewhere, leaving Fort Gillamore abandoned once again.
The creation of Nowhere
On July 19th, 2021, Isenhiem explored the surrounding ocean and came across the ruins of Fort Gillamore completely unaware of its history. 2 days later, Isenhiem started to live in the ruins and rebuilt the town. On July 22nd, 2021, Nowhere was founded and later joined the FCA.
The FoA
When the FCA split into the Kingdoms of Arith and the Federation of Arith, Nowhere decided to stick to HighTide. However, on August 22nd, Nowhere made the move of leaving the FoA. After a threat of war from Elyria and other matters going on with Isenhiem and the Nation, he swiftly left. During the announcement he also made mention of an upcoming party after the War.
Buildings
Since the creation and rebuilding of the town, several buildings have been built.
The Library/Cafe
Also known as 'Whispering Bean Coffee and books', the Library holds lecterns with books written by people all over Alathra. The Library also serves as a cafe where people can sit and have drinks. It is located right in front of the Holiday Inn.
The Inn/Tavern
The Holiday Inn has only two beds but serves as a bar/tavern where people can have drink and buy food. It also holds a stage and hot tub on the roof. A recent addition has been a root cellar, dedicated to brewing drinks.
The Town Hall
The town hall sits right at the end of the main street. The building is a stone structure that looks through the street. Inside it has rows of chairs that point to a stage. Located above is a broken trap that was once thought to have been used to assassinate people at one time. Right outside of the town hall is a guillotine structure. Located on the roof of the Town hall is the last standing reminder of the original builder, ThePit_, as his dogs sits onto looking over the island awaiting his return. The Town Hall was ordered to be torn down by the current leader, (insert name). it remains an empty lot but will be put to use in the future.

The Trade Tower
Originally an unfinished structure when the current owner arrived, the trade tower stands across the docks. The tower is a multi-floor building intended for trading between people. The tower has been finished since then but remains unused.
The Church
A small, Blackstone church sits at the center of the island. Flesh covers the inside and outside of the building. What seem to be corpses are sunken into the ground of the inside. On a raised platform sits a lectern with an unknown book. The book went missing (or is just in some hidden corner of the library) and the church was deconstructed due to its poor crumbling condition.
The Keep/Throne room
The main part of Nowhere and the most important, the Throne Room held chairs that represent the seats of all the nations in Alathra. It has three floors, the second and third can be accessed by the walls, which all have chairs except the third which is reserved for people who aren't representatives of a nation. To the right of the Keep is the storage room and the historic home of Isenhiem. To the left is the armory. The throne room has undergone changes recently, and now serves as a meeting hall for the current members.
The Tower
The Tower is the tallest building in Nowhere. It contains the town's Nether portal, enchanter, nether wart farm and brewing stands. It is also one of the newer buildings.
The Blacksmith
![](http://static.miraheze.org/alathramcwiki/thumb/2/2f/EB1B46CC-D8D7-40C9-A50D-9C2BD5FAE905.png/475px-EB1B46CC-D8D7-40C9-A50D-9C2BD5FAE905.png)
This does not refer to the original blacksmith but another one built by Isenhiem. It has all the tools for repair and salvaging.
The Jail
The Jail is located behind the Keep and next to the Tower. Its current use is to serve as a place where people go when they break any rules. However, the jail was torn down and is planned to be rebuilt somewhere with more space to make room for a new fortified gatehouse and a long forebuilding that is used as a barracks.
Housing
Empty houses cover the island meant as housing for villagers. The villagers have disappeared since the town was abandoned. We are working on getting the town repopulated.
Surroundings
Nature and location
Nowhere is located in a Frozen/cold ocean with icebergs surrounding it. The island itself is covered in snow but this is mainly stopped by the diverse plant life. The island has spruce trees growing and even has a miniature spruce forest. The town is surrounded by a glorious stone brick wall that blocks any mobs from the unclaimed area from entering. Due North of the island is the continent Arith. Nowhere is always cold and often snows so when visiting its best to bring your winter gear.

The Island itself is often seen as being in the middle of the sea and where all the oceans meet offering great trading routes by boat and ship.
Banners
The walls of the island are dotted with the town's banners which depict a fiery orange winged creature rising from a dark pit into a blinding light. The Throne room will also have the banner of every nation or its capital.
Sky islands
Above the main island are sky islands. These consists of various sizes and biomes. One of the islands is used for farming. The largest of the islands has a black castle like structure that was the last dwelling of Isenhiem, sitting upon his new throne.
Culture
Nowhere has no set culture as its residence are low in numbers. However it sees itself being a mix of everyones so many people have passed through it and claimed it during its lifetime.
Political standings
Nowhere was a monarchy as it was ruled by the self proclaimed King of Nothing, Isenhiem. However, since very few people live in Nowhere it has no political power. So instead of this the Owner and King sees himself as being a friend to all, respecting everyones rules, religion and culture.
