Ur



The Lake Town of Ur (のウル) is a town in the world of Tortus.

Layout
Ur was a lakeside town that was full of natural resources. They had many fields that were used to cultivated its specialty foods. It was just west to Urdea Lake, which was Tortus' largest lake. Just north of it was the Northern Mountain Ranges that was full of various monsters. A newer feature of Ur was its four meter-tall stone boarder that was created by Hajime Nagumo before fighting against Yukitoshi Shimizu's army of 60,000 monsters. It was still maintained by the townspeople and had been stylized with many carvings and paintings.

History
At some point in time, a pair of water sprites from Urdea Lake visited one of Ur's Inn, which later changed its name to "Water Sprite Inn".

After the heroes of Earth were summoned to Tortus, Aiko Hatayama visited Ur with several of her students in oder to help with its agriculture due to her Job as "Farmer". One of her students, Yukitoshi Shimizu, left Ur without a trace. Soon after he disappeared, an increase in monster activity in the northern monsters made it more difficult for Ur's townspeople to collect spices and other ingredients for their food. They requested to aid of adventurers to investigate, but they never returned. Hajime Nagumo visited Ur as he was traveling to the northern mountains in order to find out what happened to the missing adventurers. He unexpectedly reunited with Aiko and his old classmates at the Water Sprite Inn, which was Ur's most famous inn. All of them traveled to the mountains the next day and eventually discovered that all but one of the adventurers were killed by a dragon. It was later revealed that an army of over 60,000 monsters was headed straight for Ur. Hajime and his companions managed to defeat the army and capture its leader, who turned out to be Yukitoshi Shimizu.

Stories of Hajime's victory spread from Ur, and it lead to Aiko being labeled the "Goddess of Victory" and Hajime as her "sword".

After Hajime returned to Earth, he brought his family, as well as his wives and their families, back to Tortus for a holiday vacation which included a stop at Ur. When they arrived at Ur, they reunited with Pope Simon Levellair while he was touring Tortus. Hajime showed his family and the people of Ur the battle that took place against the army of monsters by using restoration magic to show a past projection of the event. He followed up with a concert that was performed by Aiko, Liliana, and Myu in order to help calm everyone down after witnessing such a bloody battle.
