Gura

Gura is a small mountain town, close to the edges of the world of Abexilas, under the grand nation of the Somiatist Confederacy. It currently holds little to no grand feat in the global theatre.
Gura also has a seemingly deep history, most of it undocumented since the town had not kept track with a claendar until the Summer of 26 VE.
== Religion==
The main religion in Gura is Somiatism, the worship of the god named Somiat. This god first made his appearance on the 3rd entry of the Somiatist Kortonat, with him being portrayed as a powerful god who had promised the Guran people protection, in return for the protection of the mountain.
Many Guran residents also recall of a time when they used to be religious fanatics, before shifting in political ideology to ensure the survival of the nation.
Somiat is now a god either revered or ignored among the Guran populus, with one of his credited feats being the guidance of Redmiguelito during the Sheep Odyssey. (Old somiatism)
==Somiatist Confederation==
The somiatist confederation is a union between the somiatist people and Allysia. After months spent together while the two cultures merged into one guran nationality that has started the movement "greater gura"
==Historical Events ==
The following is a list of historical events for this small community in chronological order:
The Somiatist-Kaddian conflict
===The Guran Market ===
On the Fall of 26 VE, FiveLemur641and Redmiguelito, with the permission of Wortryczk, established Gura's first market, with Redmiguelito's stall kickstarting the economy on the Winter of 27 VE.
===The Updated Guran Flag===
It was already mentioned but Mapig had updated the flag of Gura on the Winter of 27 VE, with it being accepted for its simple design.
The light blue represents the sky above, the white represents the snow we walk on, and the black represents the mountain beneath.
===The Sheep Odyssey===
While it is less of a community feat and more of a singular individual's. Redmiguelito bought a singular sheep from Haremas in the Spring of 27 VE, and traveled more than 7 kilometres by land and sea, with nothing but boat and wheat to guide the sheep. The only reason this feat is placed here is because Redmiguelito places some credit of this unfathomable journey to Somiat, believing the god had somehow guided him since, looking at the map of Abexilas then, there was an unsurmountable number of nations between Haremas and Gura, any of which he could have gotten stranded on and/or had his sheep stolen or killed.
He also places heavy credit to Ulf, a citizen of Stratholme, who had helped him when he got stranded in the city's territory.
===The Return of the Sun===
This is a feat done by an international legion, with Gura participating as a member. On the Fall of 27 VE, the denizens of Abexilas went to war with The Bringer of Darkness, God Emperor Griermoritizomo, and succeeded in bringing back the sun. For roughly a full year before this event, Abexilas was shrouded in the darkness, left with eternal moon.
The credits of the Guran citizens who participated are still yet to be confirmed.
=== The Two Gods===
This is merely an account of an interesting that happened. On the Fall of 27 VE, a god appeared above Gura, Lason, and commented on the buildings to Redmiguelito. After explaining to the god that it was not his work, Lason disappeared for a moment and returned with another god, LadyXade. Both gods were witnessed by Redmiguelito flying around, taking in Gura, before settling atop pengu's (need to confirm their official name) dark oak tree. After another long while, LadyXade disappeared first, before Lason followed the lead.
===The Purge ===
On the Winter of 28 VE, The Purge happened, in which citizens of Gura, and denizens of Abexilas as a whole, were stripped of the magical ability to keep their goods on them after death. By laying low and utilising their lack of a presence in the global political theatre, Gura had lost no casualties in this event. Wortryczk also imposed a strategic mandatory hibernation on the citizens to prevent them from falling victim to any potential raiders. This so-called Purge lasted a total of three days in Abexilas, and had been announced by the gods in the Summer of 27 VE.
===Mapig's Family Reunion===
On the Spring of 28 VE, Mapig got reunited with his extended family of snowmen, spending the day on fun family activities like praying at the Somiatist church and holding political rallies. In return, Gura got covered in snow practically everywhere, including areas that had roof coverage.
===The Drowning of Kin===
On the Summer of 28 VE, 2 of Mapig's snowmen family had been discovered by FiveLemur641 to have died in a communal pool of water. This entry is a form of respecting these dearly departed.
===Family Departure ===
On the Winter of 29 VE, Mapig reported all of his family members to be missing. Despite extensive search, there was no trace of where the family had gone. We can only hope that they are safe and sound, merely exploring the world of Abexilas.
===The Second Purge ===
On the Spring of 29 VE, there was yet another purge. Much like the first one, the citizens of Gura deployed the same effective tactics, this time under the order of pengu, suffering no casualties.
===Chunk Fried Chicken===
On the Summer of 30 VE, pengu announced to the Guran populus to take an aggressive stance against Chunk Fried Chicken. We are still investigating the reason behind this but, according to pengu, the joint showed aggression first.
===The 4th Guran Conference ===
On the Spring of 31 VE, Gura held a conference on current affairs. The most notable event of this conference was pengu's Banana Speech, which has been videographed and posted in the Somiatist YouTube Channel. However, the video is not available for public viewing, and is reserved for Guran citizens.
=== The Third Purge ===
On the Summer of 31 VE, the third purge dawned over the land of Abexilas. Unlike the last two purges, Gura was attacked while some citizens were active, causing a skirmish to break out. The attackers were geared with diamonds, cauising Gura to suffer a casualty in this purge. However, the Guran citizens successfully warded off the attackers and won the battle. The diamond gear was found to have been enchanted with Curse of Vanishing, as they disappeared and did not fall into Guran hands, but the Guran citizens take this as a loss for the attackers, more than a loss for them.
===The Fourth Purge ===
On the Winter of 33 VE, another purge dawned on the land of Abexilas. This time, the Somiatist Confederation was invited to go on a raid against a nation. The Guran populus agreed and joined forces with Karkarøs and Volanshar. However, during the trip to the intended raid location, the group decided to cross Laetaris territory, and caused major panic among its populus. Due to this big event, Laetaris and Gura established a Non-Aggression Pact and Gura was forced to pay $100,000 in reparations.
=== Protection of the French===
On the Winter of 33VE, Gura expanded its walled defences onto the French District. The citizens also fortified existing defencesduring this time. This was done in response to the multiple documented breaches by Laetaris, in which citizens (assumed to be spies) walked through gaps in the Guran wall. Redmiguelito was the main builder for this project.
===Bees in Gura===
On the Spring of 33VE, Redmiguelito took bees from the nearby meadow into Gura. This simply enhanced Guran access to honey and honeycombs.
