Ozenia

Ozenia, or Uzionsteda IPA: /u.tsjon.ste.da/ in Eisendel, is a small town in the Eisenland kingdom of the TEK. Currently led by Albus Graneda, who has been mayor since August 2022, Ozenia is the home of many popular figures in Eisenland in addition to being the location of many Eisenland cultural and militaristic achievements and landmarks.
== History ==
=== Founding of Ozenia ===
Sometime in early 2021, Leon1x1 created the town of Ozenia after a small collection of homes and structures were constructed by Leon and his friends, which ended up connecting a minor string of islands called the "Soyudz Isles" in the Sea of Tengala. At the time, Ozenia did not join any nation, instead opting to be an independent city-state technically squatting on what was then laid claim to by Pahonja.
=== Pahonjan Rule and Rebellion ===
After a couple of days of flying under the radar of the Pahonjan collective, Ozenia was forced to join the island nation collective. This did not last long however, as only a couple of days later on February 22nd, 2021, Ozenia joined the islands towns of Balhurst, Northland, Eisenland, and Boysem in seceding from Pahonja and forming their own island nation, Valtyrion.
=== Valtyrian Ozenia ===
Under Valtyrion, Ozenia once again felt misrepresented and generally oppressed. Still led by Leon1x1, Ozenia entered an era of strife and general discord among it's citizens. A minor separatist movement was started and maintained by popular Ozenian townmember, Juketoons, who plastered Ozenian rebellion flags and books around the town. Over the period of months, Valtyrian leadership of Ozenia continued to extract it's toll in the form of taxes, tributes, and general pestering, and eventually, the playerbase of Ozenia dwindled.
=== Eisenland Invasion of Ozenia ===
On July 14th, 2021 after Eisenland declared war on Valtyrion, they began the assault with an invasion of the towns of Ozenia and Boysem. Ozenia took the brunt of the Eisenlandian forces, and it suffered dearly for it.
===== Slaughter of the Dogs =====
When Eisenlandian forces first entered Ozenia, they laid waste to the town in the form of the slaughter of every single pet in the town. At least 20 dogs were killed, 5 cats, and at least 1 horse lay dead in homes and in the streets. These actions made for a mass public outcry, with many people in the global chat calling for bounty hunters and for mercenaries to end the atrocities. Unfortunately, no one has been brought to justice for these acts, and memorials have been erected in Ozenia so that this event will never be forgotten.
===== The Great Pillaging =====
Following the sacking of Ozenia, Eisenlandian forces moved almost all of the valuables and materials that could be harvested out of Ozenia and into their capital of the time, Eisenburg. Ozenia was left as a ghost town, with no surviving town members, no animals, and now, no valuables.
=== Eisenlandian Ozenia ===
After Ozenia's takeover by Eisenland, MrPoothtick was appointed as the governor of the region. After the dust of the Eisenland-Valtyrion war settled, MrPoothtick moved into Ozenia into the old house of Leon1x1. Since this moment on, Eisenland has maintained leadership in some form over Ozenia.
===== Remodeling and Finding an Identity =====
MrPoothtick got to work on Ozenia, completely demolishing outdated and ugly buildings, renovating key builds, and inviting new players to the town. It is in this time that JDBPixel, BigMac, and other key Ozenian figures joined the town and began it's reconstruction. BigMac constructed new buildings like the Ozenian town center, Ozenian park, and the market. Over time, Eisenlandian Ozenia gained an identity in the form of being un-uniform, welcoming, and farming based.
===== Ozenia declares war on Volturus =====
Shortly after Ozenia became a part of Eisenland, it was the focal point of a war. MrPoothtick was the only member of the council online at the allotted time to declare war on Volturus, and in doing so, declared war from the town of Ozenia. During the war, a small contingent of Eisenlandians was placed in Ozenia in order to defend it from a possible Volturan counterattack.
== Town Features ==
Boasting many modern and some groundbreaking constructions, Ozenia is a town notable not only within Eisenland, but all of Rathnir
=== Eisenland Museum ===
The largest structure in the town, the Eisenlandian museum has many artifacts, books, and notable player's heads. As a result of this, Ozenia was chosen to be the official hub of Eisenlandian knowledge and cultural artifacts. The building is open to visitors, and has many exhibits, a library, and a room of statues. The building was designed and mainly built by SoCappy in the fall of 2022, but was left abandoned until it's completion in the summer of 2023.
=== Eisenlandian Institute of Technology ===
A modern designed building, this houses the cutting edge of Eisenlandian technology. Underneath the main building is a massive structure that houses a complete and functional 6-bit redstone computer designed and built by MrPoothtick. Besides this monumental construction, instructional books, offices, and other spaces inhabit this complex.
=== Ozenia Factory ===
Originally the site of the Eisenland war machine, it has since been discontinued with weapons manufacturing, and now serves as the town's main storage, crafting, smelting, and enchanting location. Boasting top of the line facilities for all of these disciplines, it has since become the town's hub of sorts when it comes to construction projects inside of the town and in some cases across the kingdom of Eisenland. Designed and built by MrPoothtick, this structure is home to Ozenia's tallest point.
=== Ozenian Town Center ===
Originally a large home-like building that was the largest in the town, it was torn down and rebuilt by BigMac into a complex of 4 wings and connecting hallways. It contains many historically important and culturally relevant artifacts to Ozenia and Eisenland alike, and is the starting point for newcomers to Ozenia in order to get stocked on things like food, gear, and knowledge of the town.
