Chapter 1
A large group of humans in a city based around 3 asteroids were attempting to select leaders of the city. The humans mostly believed in Democracy and Republicanism, having moved past monarchy. The political landscape was new, but the outline of two political parties had formed. One "party" wanted the city to assimilate into the Dwarven Empire, the other wanted the city to be its own thing.
Not everyone was taking part in politics though, some just didn't care, some were more focused on guaranteeing the success of their agriculture, and some were part of the City Guard, and protecting their home from whatever might be out there.
The gods couldn't help them now. The few surviving gods were busy in the flooded Midgard searching for Mjolnir, the legendary hammer of Thor, on boats, as well as other notable Asgardian weapons.
The search was lead by Magni, the son of Thor. Magni is the god of strength. He was intended to carry his fallen father's hammer once found.
Vidar, uncle of Magni, searched the hardest. His rage was one factor, as well as his desire to get the Mjolnir into the hand of his nephew, in order to prevent such an event from ever occurring again.
Modi, the almost equally determined brother of Magni would eventually find the hammer. Modi was a loyal god, he handed it to his brother without complaint. He loved his brother like, well, take a guess, and agreed with Vidar on the issue of getting that hammer into his brother's hand.
"Is this the place to construct the New Asgard?" asked the goddess Eir. She had turned from being goddess of healing wounds to the goddess of healing civilizations. She also was providing the gods with light and warmth using a great fire she controlled, having power over fire.
"Yes" stated Vidar, "at least, I suggest so, this was highland, so it won't take as much work and resources to create a large island." Vidar liked nature, but he wouldn't mind destroying any ecosystems under the water to build the island they had planned out. Afterall, Ragnarok had destroyed plenty of nature already.
The waves were still, Perfect for construction, now that there was no Midgardian moon in the sky.
Speaking of moons. The Dwarven Empire had started to colonize the moons of Jupiter. Collectively known as Jotunheimr.
