Yamindor

"Found in Sand, Left in Ground; The Pearl of the South"
== General Info ==
The city of Yamindor was a town located in southern Rathnir on the continent of Sørligste, in the Norvosi Kingdom. It had a sizeable population of around 120, but most of them left after the annexation of the Kingdom of Koura into the Holy Lautine Imperium. It was split into districts which allow for a better management inside it's lands. The city was led by Lautine from July 2023 until the end of rathnir, after it was forcefully taken from Shadowpanther789, who among Polish Milk during Polish's ownership, effectively turned the city into one of the biggest ones on the continent, which constantly climbed up Rathnir-wide rankings in terms of population under their rule. The city made it's own unique buildstyle be it's main characteristic along a very urban "city" feel to it. 
The hierarchy in Yamindor was quite different. However, as the city became in the hands of Lautine, which did not care for the town, the old system had been pretty much erased. In the old system, a regular citizen gots a "Member" role, the path Yamindor take is unusual afterwards. It goes to a "Honored Member" which is mostly a symbolic title that's given to special citizens, after that we have the "Buildermen" which as the name suggests itself, is a builder. Climbing even higher, we get a "Comander" which is basically just a different name for a recruiter, Then we got a "Districtioneer" which rules a set district, the districts are shown on the District map. Finally, we have the "Co-Owner" and "Owner" (Baron). 
== Districts ==
=== Pantheria ===
Pantheria was built in the south-western most tip of Yamindor, near the border with Liberta. The small district was intended to provide housing to groups affected by racism and discrimination, like the Pantheri race that the owner of the district, Shadow Norekva comes from.
=== Yami-cave ===
Yami-cave was a large cave system underneath Yamindor. The cave was split into 2 main sections, the Living district, and the Industrial district. The Living district was never constructed, but the industrial distrcit was. There were many farms in it, which produced goods like moss, sugar cane, bamboo, kelp, dripstone, crimson plants, warped plants and lava.
== Geography and History ==
=== Geography ===
Yamindor was built on a desert terrain in the Desert of Koura. A river flowed through the town, splitting the eastern side from the rest of the city. An artificial river in the north had been used to separate Tortuga from Lorent when the city had been revived in April 2022, and in order to easily distinguish Lorentish and Serenusi territory after their short independence, but was slowly being removed. The city itself was going through a biological process, as the river had brought lots of excess humidity to Yamindor, which allowed grass and trees to grow in the desert landscape, which slowly turned the desert into a Savannah biome.
Yamindor was placed on the Desert of Koura, in the region of Koura. Cool winds blew into the region from the Sea of Jcon, the Omnicouase Sea, the Serpents and Di Italian't Bay's of the Rough sea, Which tended to cool down the Desert of Tears, Leading to Savannah's being common around rivers, like the Kouran River, Magna River, Noirta River, Yamindor Rivers and Fernandes River. The large amount of rivers in the region was where the region got one of its several names: Ziekam. These rivers were one of the most important features of the geography there, as it is why populations could even been sustained here. As the region had no coast, not much humidity could have gotten into the region, and the Yamindor Mountains in the north blocked even more humidity, casting a large rain shadow across much of the region.
==== Mountains ====
The previously mentioned Yamindor Mountains were also important to the geography of the region, as they blocked lots of humidity from reaching the region. They also marked the Northern most reaches of the Region of Koura, being the one of the 2 places in the region where biome borders or rivers arent the regions boundaries. The other significant mountain range in the region were the Laila Mountains. They ran in the Magna section of the region, and were used in the past to split Magna from Laila, a small town North-East of the mountains, which got destroyed in May/June 2022. A stand-alone Mountain in Eastern Yamindor named Yami-Mountain also existed, and is believed to be an extinct volcano, but no geological studies have been done to prove this.
=== History ===
Yamindor originally began as a small desert colony created in order to expand Norvos control over the surrounding lands. The town was built on the side of a mountain, which was artificially expanded in order to account for the number of houses constructed. Originally led by Moltenninja1188, it and the desert surrounding it was underdevoloped and architecturally lacking, with an extremely un-decorated sandstone buildstyle made up of simple cube houses. 
After Polish Milk was given the city in April 2022, he sought out to change the city for the better. In July, he hired ShadowPanther (Shadow Norekva) to transform the sandstone cubes into houses, in a 'semi-modern sub-tropical style'. The Yamindori style doesent necessarily fit that description, but it is what Shadow came up with, with some help from Polish to settle the style. 
Throughout July, August and September, Shadow transformed the Sandstone Cube Houses, and also began transforming the tower, while Polish was slowly starting to recruit more and more, but eventually, Shadow's motivation and creativity ran dry, and he slowly stopped construction on the town, to take a break for his motivation to come back. Eventually, in late November, Shadow came to a new nation full of activity and growth, Norvos. Since July 2022, when he joined, Yamindor went through several nation changes, inculding Tortuga, Serenus, and Lorent, as part of the region of Ato, before becoming part of the region of Norvos in Lorent. This led to both Polish and Shadow to have lots of motivation to grow their city, especially after a rival city, Magna, sprung up just south of them, with an amazing recruiter, Waltuh, who got Magna to over 100 players in a matter of weeks, and eventually Magnas population peaked in March 2023, at more than 160. This led to Polish recruiting hard for Yamindor, and Shadow building tons of houses and apartments in the west of the city, and doing some terraforming projects, like Yami-Mountain, Tutel Park, The western terrain, Yami-Beach, and many others. Shadow also built Yamindors Library in January 2023, and continued transforming old builds into better ones, including the farming district. Eventually, Yamindors population hit 100, and grew to around 120 over the next couple of months. 
Over this period of time, Norvosi Nationalism had begun to steadily grow, helped by nationalistic recruiters, who infuenced the recruits opinions on Lorent. After Serenus left the Lorent, many other Lorentish state's citizens began drifting towards nationalism, and in March, several other nations began secceeding from Lorent, which put pressure on the Norvosi goverment to secceed now, as many citizens feared that this was their only chance to be 'free'. 
On March 17th, Norvos left the Lorent, and many citizens and councillors alike rejoiced. However, due to the large activity of Norvos, many believed that Norvos was safe from outside threats, as the large population believed they had strenght in numbers. Because of this, the Norvosi goverment did not take enough measures to strenghten the country, by getting powerful allies and large amounts of excess money. Many Non Agression Pacts and Mutual Defense Pacts were offered to nations across the continent, and to outside powers, but most of them either declined or werent particularily powerful. Norvos was quite a poor state, and other than Jayant and Dloop, most citizens had never seen 100k on their balance. The Norvosi populance generally preffered to vibe, chill, build, recruit, and participate in events rather then grinding money and war reasources. 
In Early April, Norvos declared to be in a state of war with Leveros, and the war was set on April 17th. Preparations for the war started almost immediately, but despite the efforts of many citizens, there just wasnt enough money in the country for potions and gear, as most of the fund for the war went to Mercenaries. Many potions were brewed in Magna, and lots of sets were purchased, but it wasnt enough. On the night of the war, Norvos lost horribly, and the nation was dissolved. The cities of Norvos (now O-fort), Port Leon, and Atopolis were integrated directly into Leveros, while Yamindor, Magna, Liberta and Fernandes formed the Kingdom of Koura, a vassal state of Leveros. 
From April to May, Yamindor's population started to diminish, as many left after the war to search for more peaceful lands. Polish mysteriously dissapeared, and Shadow's motivation to build the city was non-existant. However, on May 28th, Tios Norekva resigned as King of Koura, and a power-hungry Shadow stepped up and took the position. This new found power motivated Shadow greatly, and he grinded lots of resources for Yami-Market, recruited 20 people and built several new buildings. Koura seemed to be going in the right direction, however, less than 2 months later, on the 26th of July, Koura got forcefully annexed into the Holy Lautine Imperium, for no reason other than to boost the Lautinian expansionism. The town was transferred to Lautine (Salende's Alt), and nothing in the town has changed since. 
Its safe to say that Yamindor entered a dark age period, the town had completely died out, all of it's residents were forcefully kicked out of it, and theres currently no actual ownership. The period lasted until its end in early 2024, when the comet would have wiped off the world from existance.
