Transarxa

Transarxa, sometimes known by it's former name of Taernsby under the Ellysian Empire, is a city located on the Eastern coast of the Confederation of Anarchist Communes in Eldham. 
== History ==
Transarxa, or as it was then known as Taernsby, began its roots as a small city in the Ellysian Empire after their devastating loss in the First Coalition-Ellysian War, being built across the river from the neighboring town of Genlamio. 
On June 17th, 2021, many citizens had bitter hatred for the new king of the Ellysian Empire and their motives and as a result declared independence. This independence was rather short-lived as it was reabsorbed into the Ellysian Empire soon after.
During the Simulami-Elysian border conflict, the warrior-maiden Gre'en Layla-Earcala and the Imperare of Simulami, Zeno Maestro, raided and sacked Taernsby during the war, winning a decisive battle, even though they were outnumbered and outgeared. After killing the leader of the town, an Elysia military division, led by Fnis, were ambushed and slain outside the city. This led to a regression in Taernsby, as a lot of gear was lost.
On June 19th, 2021, after it had been reabsorbed, the Second Coalition-Ellysian War was beginning to brew and Emmerman14 made a private negotiation with the Second Coalition that they would evacuate and flee the area all together and in turn wouldn't join the Ellysians in the war. They went on to create the small nation of Taernsbia, where the former name of the city lives on.
Ultimately the next day, the city of Taernsby was raided twice during the Second Coalition-Ellysian War, both during the Garxeto Assault and during the Siege of Atta where Coalition forces made their way into the city by jumping over sand dunes and climbing the walls with water buckets. This ultimately liberated the city from the Ellysians and it was promptly placed into the control of the Second Coalition's Administrative Zone Three.
The city currently rests in the zone of control of the CoAC, remaining abandoned.
== Etymology ==
The name Transarxa originates from Latin meaning "between citadels" in partial reference to its location between the USSE-built fort of Garxeto and the cities of Atta and Nordinbad. In reality though, this name mostly is actually in honor of ViewedMarquis, with the name being a reference to transgender people. This is because the Ellysian Empire had sent transphobic remarks and attacks towards them which had triggered the Second Coalition-Ellysian War, and the name is meant to be a kind of comedic punishment by naming one of their cities in honor of transgender people. The city was renamed Transarxa from Taernsby after the city was captured in the Second Coalition-Ellysian War.
The name Taernsby which is what the city was originally named is of unknown origin.
== Geography ==
The city of Transarxa is located on a wide river which nourishes the city's small-scale agricultural production. Most of the nearby area is consistent of desert which is reflected in the city's architectural styles.
== Security ==
While the city was the Ellysian city of Taernsby, they were attacked multiple times by raiders looking to damage Ellysian cities. One attack being the Taernsby Massacre. The city also suffered from inside thieves and traitors of whom rarely were caught and punished.
Shortly before the city of Taernsby's declaration of independence prior to the Second Coalition-Ellysian War, citizen Mr F made a proposal to move main city operations underground. The project was named Project: Neath. This project was intended to prevent the constant stream of raiders and increase security. Most of the Taernsbian citizens voted to continue the project, however the new Ellysian king denied the right for the project to go through. This may have pushed the city further toward declaring independence.
The city of Taernsby was invaded in the Second Coalition-Ellysian War by jumping into the city's fort from sand dunes and using water buckets to scale the short walls.
