Edarot

Edarot́, from the ancient Batu Lenguage "Made Homeland" or "New Home", is a small town of the Dominion of Sentara off the north-western coast of the island of Shayo Aksha, in the continent of Kejafros, Abexilas and is one of the members of the Shayo Aksha Collective. It was founded in 4 VE and was originally a settlement established by Batu refugees from Eldham after it froze over.
==History==
===Foundation===
The town was originally founded by the Mayor Bastion who sought to create a new home for the few living Batu people left after the cataclysm in Eldham, the opportunity arose after the then recent expansion of the first dominion of Sentara (under Kareyos Magerius Al Solari) in Shayo Aksha in the year 4 VE, the few Batu and Sentari settlers had found Ourboros and Baszku people already living there, choosing to live together with them, to this day these people live in harmony, or as close to that as they can
=== Edarot́-Feira Relations ===
in Edarot́'s infancy, around 5 VE, the town of Feira on Edarot́'s eastern borders started to open relations, the ruler of Feira, Riou Fei at the time, had signed an agreement with Mayor Bastion on ensuring trade between the two town, to this day some Edarotian and Feiran architectures can be seen in both their towns.
===Sentaran Martial Law===
Not long after its foundation, in the year 7 VE the town was, along with the rest of Shayo Aksha, under martial law due to the Dominion's desire to deal with squatters on the island, i.e the towns of Habberholm and Neovoxa to the East of Edarot́.
===Sentaran Civil War===
In the years 18 and 19 VE Edarot́ had found itself in the middle of a bloody civil war betwen Zephyrists and Dominionists, the town chose to fight for the Dominionists finding itself fighting alongside the Peasant Republic of Jaumotogos, who had at the time seceded, The town endured a long and bloody siege that lasted several months, but nonetheless fell into Zephyrists hands after the town's encirclement by Imperial Estrealla's troops, many Jaumi militias and soldiers died alongside Edarotians that day, but despite the many losses to its populatina the worst came afterward with the occupation period Edarot́ was under no aid was ever given to the wounded and the city was cut off from any supply from the DominiontisI in early 19 VE, Mayor Bastiod passed away due to the wounds recieved in the earlier battle, leaving the town leaderless. Finally during the 2nd battle of Edarot́ the town was finally liberated by Vukhmirite forces supported by Korydos's navy and elite marines, putting the town under Dominionist rule once again, many Edarotians would volunteer to keep marching with Vukhmirite and Dominionist forces against the remaning Zephyrists to free Shayo Aksha for good, Feira being the first target to see Edarotian troops, making the Ouroboros soldiers quite happy to see their home freed. Soon after the war would end, however the town would not see any substantial support from the mainland. To this day the Vukh are seen as liberators of Edarot́ by the population.

===Edarot́'s Dark Years and the Abandonment of the Town===
The years between late 19 VE and late 23 VE were terrible for the town, after the death of Mayor Bastion the town was left to try and recover from the civil war without leadership, the mainland, too busy to allocate resources to a relatively small town, decided it was best to relocate the people to other towns, however some still stubbornly stayed while some moved to Feira, most of the remaining people were Ouroboros, Ćent́aran and Baszku people who still inhabit the town.
===The Reclamation===
In the year 24 VE two people, a Satyr name Simster and a Eldhamite refugee named Déd Vèt, were entrusted to reclaim the town which had now been decaying for 5 years, when the two met they began to restore all buildings and even work on new ones. The two decided to establish a dual mayor system for the town, to ensure the town always had a person in charge at all time should something happen to the other.
===The New Flag Act of 25 VE===
One of the very first acts given by the Mayor and Co-Mayor was a official flag referendum for a new flag, one of which being the original. Of the nine proposed only 5 were selected for the second vote that was help only a day later, In the end the Starry Wave won with a 60% vote, giving the town a new flag to symbolize the new beginning.

===Edarot́ on the Zilatran newspaper===
In late 26 VE Edarot́ managed to not only get itself on the Crimson Quill's Radar, the national Zilatran newspaper, but was even put in the first pages of it, this stunt had given Edarot́ a massive surge in popularity and had made the Edarotian Baszkus quite happy knowing that their brothers and sisters in Zilatran gave their home such honor. To this day Co-Mayor Simster has a copy of the newspaper in his home as a reminder to keep working for the town's benefit.

===New and Old Friends===
One of the very first things the Co-Mayor Simster and Mayor Déd Vèt did on a regional scale was open relations with other towns to try and start trade agreements or development projects, mainly Onosia and Feira, which would spark later on the foundation of the S.A.C.
===The Foundation of the S.A.C.===
Shortly after the reclamation, in the year 26 VE the Co-Mayor Simster called a meeting with all the other mayors of Shayo Aksha in the town of Feira where he spoke about how the state Edarot́ and Shayo Aksha as a whole where left after the civil war, and how it was mostly left behind by the mainland and that it was time that the Shayo Akshan worked for a better tomorrow, and so the mayors all agreed to form the Council of Mayors and officially establish the Shayo Aksha Collective to begin development, construction and trade among all the member towns.

==Architecture==
===Styles===
There are three distinct styles of Eradotian architecture, one of which is somewhat more distinct than the others.
*Old Edarotian: The first buildings, constructed between 4 and 8 VE, are made of mostly spruce wall and often bamboo roves, however some buildings have red terracotta walls in them.
*New Edarotian: The newer buildings, constructed from 24 VE onward, tend to be inspired from the old style, however now they incorporates the use of different wood types, such as oak and dark wood oak, but many more types of stone as well (such as Diorite and Deepslate), in some cases made entirely out of it, such as the case of the Town Hall.
*Industrial Modernism: Used on the industrial buildings made around 25 to 27 VE, these buildings are made almost solely by bricks and stone bricks, made for their utility and great space needed for industrial work.
===Notable Buildings===
The Frost Giant Inn
One of the oldest buildings in Edarot́, with its old architecture still intact, its one of the biggest buildings of "Old Edarot́" and many often go to drink up after a long day of work.
The Town Hall
Started construction in 24 VE it was finally completed in late 26 VE and has ever since been used for all kind of town related act or event, other than that, the hall also has an auxiliary storage room for the town's resources to help supply the nearby recently constructed industrial district. The hall also features a large table in which a map of the town can be seen.
The Sentaran Scholars' Guild Hall
Began construction in late 24 VE and ended in early 25 VE, it was given to the Sentaran Scholar's Guild after Simster became its Guildmaster, to this day, the guild makes its newspapers and reserches in Edarot́.
==Geography==
===Location===
The town is located on the north-western coast of Shayo Aksha, a large island to the southeast of the Kejafros continent.
===Terrain===
The terrain of Edarot́ is mostly flat and covered in snow with some small spruce forests.
===Climate===
The town's climate is harsh and always snowy, there are often snowstorms on the city that the inhabitants have learned to deal with.
==Culture==
===Sentari===
The Sentari, more specifically the Estrella-Sentari, are the largest group in Edarot́, these people are master artificers and arcanists, adept in working and manipulating magical artifacts, these people tend to be more reclusive, but despite that they have learned to live with the other cultures in Edarot́, especially with the Ćent́aran due to their similarities.
===Ćent́ari===
These people are the descendant of early Batu refugees and Sentaran settlers who have over time mixed with one another and grown into a different culture from anything on the mainland, the Ćent́aran are slightly taller and paler from any other Sentaran and have developed their own distinct culture after years of isolation with the mainland. Some of their more well-known activities are their famous iceberg climbing and ice water swimming games, for in Ćent́aran culture there is nothing if respect for the cold environment they inhabit, perhaps a old Batuan teaching. The Ćent́arans speak a dialect of Sentari, amply called Ćent́ari, which is mostly the same as regular Sentari, the difference comes in the pronunciation of the words and the pronouns used, in Ćent́ari the old Batuan pronouns are preserved and so are the way they'd pronounce the words.
===Ourboros===
The Ourboros, people with draconic ancestry and original natives of the island, known for their loyalty and prowess, Edarotian Ouroboros are often city guards or traders of fine goods, especially goods from Feira, such as cherry wood or stones from Feira's nearby mountains. These people, while a minority in Edarot́, are extremely well regarded and were often on the frontline when raiders would come.
===Bakszu===
The Baszku people are an indigenous group that have lived in the region where Edarot́ stands today long before any Batuan or Sentari, they are the second largest minority in Edarot́ after the Ćent́aran and are a well regarded community in the town, especially for their refined cuisine, such as yeqa spiced tea, highly appreciated as a warm drink in the harsh climate of the town. Their culture is protected by the town and often given to the Baszkus areas for their funeral and wedding rituals.
