Hammarvik is a city located in the southwest of Eldmark at the terminus of the Horn of Asteria, as well as the terminus of the Helge River. It is the oldest settled city of Eldmark, as well as the administrative, cultural, and economic capital of the country. While difficult to determine exactly where the Hammarvik metro ends and the metros of nearby Stalkulle and Kvällholm begin, most maps show the Hammarvik metropolitan area containing over 6,000,000 inhabitants, making the city the most populous in Eldmark.
The city of Hammarvik was founded in 1542 by Ostisk Ordennian settlers, making it one of the oldest settlements in the Asterias. Initially serving as an administrative center for Ordennian colonial interests, the city would serve as an outlet for Asterian trade and travel, and to this day operates the largest port in Asteria Superior and among one of the busiest airports in the region. Hammarvik also serves the unique role of being the last city in the Asterias to serve as the home of a reigning monarch, with the Blue Palace as the home of Eldmark's queen, Thyri I. Consistently ranked as one of the healthiest cities in the continent, with one of the highest ratios of both physicians-to-residents as well as one of the highest ratings on the Healthiest Cities Index, at 6.27.
Etymology
The name "Hammarvik" is derived from the last name of the Ostisk navigator and explorer Hans Hammar Adelström, founder of both the city and the country. Translated, the name means "Hammar Bay."
History
Geography
Hammarvik is located in southwest Eldmark, at the base of the southern tip of the Ryggrad. Like a considerable portion of western Eldmark, it is susceptible to earthquakes. The last catastrophic earthquake to hit the city was in September of 1895, leading to the deaths of over 2,000 people, and billions of kronor in damage. The city, located at the base of Hammar Bay, gently curves, increasing from sea level to 400 meters high, and up to 500 meters in the outskirts that touch the Ryggrad.
Climate
Hammarvik's climate is best described as a maritime Arucian climate (Csa), enjoying sunlight for most of the year. The summer is dry, though is intermittently affected by rainfall from the Vehemens Ocean, and is also affected by fog from the currents of the ocean. In the winter, rainfall varies, and is marked with periods of heavy rains and potential but extremely rare snowfall in the higher elevations.
Summer low temperatures rarely ever dip below 20°C, while August nets an average high of 30.6 °C, while the coldest days of the year vary between 8 and 12°C. Freezing temperatures are rare. The highest recorded temperature was 46.5 °C,and the lowest is −1.9 °C.
