Originally a twelve-island-archipelago nestled in a quiet corner of the Northeastern Sea, much ground has been reclaimed from the ocean, forging a splendid island that is not yet done growing – in any sense of the word. The safety of Midgard's inhabitants is the Administration's foremost concern.

One lonely builder, eager to create with no idea how and where to start, was led to a twice forsaken archipelago in the Northeastern Sea and granted full jurisdiction over it late in April 2015. Finding many of its twelve islands dotted with leafless tree trunks easier to cut and harder for monsters to hide under, Jinxauthor_Mel decided to accept the pre-owners legacy as a considerate gift. Within two weeks, the first 5×5 wood hut grew into a big mansion, and on May 10th, the first Zombie allowed himself to be cured. With him immediately taking residence inside the mansion, this date is deemed the founding of the settlement.

The settlement was invited to become part of the nearby Commons of Valensiya and gratefully accepted the offer that came with tutelage, material support and a railway connection. Prompted by the latter to build a station and decide upon a name for it, 'Midgard' was chosen after some deliberation as it suits best some faraway future plans.

Having been introduced to various people, places, methods and rules (as well as other important matters) of Alpha Realm, and grown more self-reliant and confident as a result, Midgard Administration has come to the decision to part ways with the Commons and become entirely independent in early June. After taking some time to come to terms with the vague intention and prepare for the step, independence as the Midgard Municipality was declared on June 15th, 2015.

The land is marked by buildings and surrounded by the sea.

Currently, Midgard trades for materials or items needed at the time of the trade. However, due to the growing Yew populace, the Municipality's official currency is emeralds. In the shops that are planned to be extended and created, a secondary currency of gold nuggets will be used due to more common availability, at a rate of 1 emerald ≙ 9 gold nuggets.

Midgard Administration's main goal is to make the island a tourist attraction in order to attract visitors and business. Unfortunately, the growing populace recently overruled that ambition and demanded more solid ground for the development of an actual settlement to be created. The Administration has therefore been focusing on terraforming as of June, and is starting to construct more residences.

Midgard's Yew inhabitants tend to make their requirements known at their own convenience; it is up to Administration to comply with those or loose the populace.
