Luftahraan is a Skyrim City project. Luftahraan will be a city located in the north-west corner of Skyrim.
Lore
The city of Luftahraan was founded in the closing years of the First Era by a Nordic warrior named Luharaan who forged his own city state to the west of the country. Establishing the title of Sovereign, Luharaan proved an efficient ruler. Luharaan ruled the Luftahraan for 56 years. On his death, rule passed to his son and thus began the long, unbroken line of Sovereigns that have ruled Luftahraan to this day. The 25th Sovereign, Helseth Otherin, rules in Luftahraan as the dragons take to the skies across Skyrim, but it is a very different city now. The power of the Sovereign has been squandered by poor decisions of the past and a host of factions vie with each other, each planning to pick clean the carcass of Luftahraan when Helseth’s power fails.
The foremost of these factions is the Kaldr. Created by Sovereigns past as a means to secretly gather information on goings on in the city, the Kaldr were later militarized and used to put down insurrections. Using scare tactics and espionage, the Kaldr hold a tight grip on the civil populace. And now the Kaldr are stirring, forging their pathway towards control and domination of the city. And yet, the peasants too, tired of the abuse and torment, begin their rise against the tyrants of their land.
And, towering above all of this strife, sits an ancient relic of times past; an edifice of the Dwemer. Superficially, the tower is controlled and guarded by Helseth. The tower is locked, and no one has the key, but the possibilites of what could remain inside have further fuelled the fires of conflict already sparking across the city. And yet, they know that he who controls the tower is the master of power.
Development History
The project started February 23rd 2012 on a forum called Facepunch. The early foundations of the city was developed by the project founder and former leader: Oskutin. All Facepunchers could contribute to the project freely and it became quite a little hit within the Facepunch community.
Quickly the project became bigger and bigger and Oskutin had to leave so he promoted Wheeze to the project lead.
In June 2012, Wheeze quickly realized that this chaotic "free contribution" method of developing the project was not going to work. So he organized the development process, created a website and created a team that is now known as Archon Entertainment which is the team developing the project today.
