Rodheros

== Geography ==
Rodheros is a major town in Varthalos (Great Savanna) area of Aldoviri Peninsula, currently abandoned from the most part, but with serious plans of its revival. It consists of following parts:
*Upper Rodheros, containing the Hall of Fame standing on the foundation of rebuilt, previouly ruined, temple of Sakrelith, overgrown with the roots of The Windswept Tree (see also "Golden Age of Jeghosi" in "History" section below), and several seemingly abandoned upper class houses: most of that demolished recently to proceed with Androvia project of Andronikos
* Central Rodheros, where the remnants of Jeghosi sacred tent are serving as welcoming point for incomers, and where miners inhabitated the slums and operated the mines, and where brainworkers grouped together in the Library of Rodheros (acronym: LoR, see also "Bibliography" section below), and all together in the Rodheros Bar,
* Lower Rodheros, where worker-ants were recently enslaved in a metallurgic combinate, travelled to and from work mainly using a metro station nearby, and the local settlers were farming their crops, catching fish and slimes by the swamp river Gangotri, and selling their products in an unfair trade marketplace,
* Gerianarsh Harbor, former party town on budget ("Gerianarsh" means "dance" in Sagaviri language).
			
More information about this town can be found in the Library of Rodheros (see "Bibliography" section below).
== History ==
=== Jeghosi Origins ===
The town was initially founded by some of Jeghosi tribes in 2020 as a stable nomad settlement. Historically, there were long-term bi-directional influences of their culture with the Sironian's having their roots in these ancient eras:
* Jeghosi Origins
* Ancient History => Kingdom of Sakrelith
* Age of Empire Sagaviri
* Anralak Sironvir (Archonates I, II, III)
=== Autonomous Jeghosia ===
Initially, this town was a small camp of a small scavanger-hunter tribe that roamed within the Savana at the far southwest of Sironia. Tribes has received some autonomy from the Archon in Azethvir, and were ruled by their own appointed leader, with Rodheros as their capital. Some of history of Jeghosi tribe and their customs, and the foundation of this town, were documented by its founder and uniter + the very first Sky Seer of Jeghosi ever: Ukilen.
			
=== Decline and Renaissance ===
Nothing lasts forever, and the new darker ages came then and over time, the town was abandoned completely, and the most of it changed into burnt and decayed ruins.
The town was originally being rebuilt by Nigxl and his team including Andronikos, Madhurthr, Erik, etc. in the scope of the town restoration and renovation project started in 2023.
Archive footage from the beginnings of that project:
		
		
Unfortunately, the project was interrupted by the war, a fire broke out after fighting, and Nigxl has been lost (see details about that turbulent times).
	
The was reconstructed by Andronikos Constantine (Karma) and his staff (see "Current Projects" section below), but the upper part was the most damaged by the fire, and could not be saved, so it was demolished and new builds inside the fortress walls projected (see "Current Projects" below). 
More information about older and newer history of this town can be found in Rodheros Library (see "Bibliography" section below).
== Mission Statement ==
We, the people of Jeghosia, know what hardships our predecessors had to experience so that we too could learn from them. We know, that the violence, stemming from the desire to rule over others, is the root cause of the losses of our beloved friends, parents, and other companions.
With this in mind, we declare this statement of the mission for our beautiful urban establishment called Rodheros, as an expression of our common will:
# Free and peaceful life is our highest value, and the like-minded co-citizens are welcome here. Live and let live is our motto.
# We want to act in the interest of preventing wars, battles, and that above all by preventive actions, honest diplomacy, and excellent friendly relationships within Jeghosia and surrounding nations.
# Rodheros is our fixed point in space-time, it must serve as a fortified bastion preserving our values even in hostile times, providing protection also for remaining of Jeghosia. Forever.
# We do not differentiate by nation, religion, language. Members of any nations, believers and worshippers of any religion, speaking any language, are eligible to become also Jeghosi without requiring you to give up your nationality, religion or language. Being aligned with this mission statement is enough to be accepted, welcomed, and embraced.
# See our architecture. We use acacia wood (or materials resembling it) a lot. This Jeghosi-style is the legacy from our predecessors, and we stick to it. We also use red+white to express our affiliation to Sironia. We believe, acacia shall spread all over the Great Savanna - Varthalos.
Sky and Wind Spirits help us to stick to this mission statement.

==== Horse Breeding Genealogy ====
Varthalos was known for its Jeghosi masterful horse breeding for ages, but then due to Jeghosi exodus also the horses almost disappeared. Two descendants of that horses owned by Madhurthr Havardr survived in Rodheros, and they were moved by Andronikos Constantine during the Great Alteniquian War into a safer place in Asour'Therak. They were black with white spots, owned by Andronikos Constantine and ItisValiant (both identified as "AT0" in table below), and one (their offspring which birth was assisted by Futuregnome) named Paul having white ankles. Parents were bred by Rodherodotos again, and their foals were taken to Rodheros to establish new genus of Varthalos horses there:

When War of the Comet hit Rathnir, two horses, best of their breed (the fastests Night-Sky and the fastest Night-Wind) were saved by Neu's Ark, where they over the time of the voyage, and after it, spawned 8 offsprings, and new genus of Vastaros was founded. All other horses were sadly left to their inevitable fate in Rodheros ...
