Vertarchon

Vertarchon (Baszku: Vetaczun) is a commune in the Xeroist Republic of Zilatra. Its founder and current Mayor is Totomando. While very small and humble, the town is renowned for its architecture.
The commune is located on the Western coast of the Dalar Prefecture, located directly in between the Gallania Autonomous Prefecture to the South and the Latria Autonomous Prefecture to the North. 
It was founded in 5 VE by Eldhamite immigrants largely hailing from Astios. The region around Vertarchon would quickly become one of the most densely populated parts of Zilatra by the 20's VE; being surrounded by the settlements of Deamo'zgou, Aephica, Agdah's Embrace, and Ebrim Hasz. Its largest economic contribution would largely come from mining, as with many of its neighboring communes.
== History ==
=== Pre-Server ===
In ancient history, the Western end of the modern day Dalar Prefecture was a hub of life and early settlements because of its relatively temperate climate. The region of modern Vertarchon saw migratory animals pass through the region in frequency as they would travel from the colder South to the much warmer North of the modern day Prefecture.
Early archaeological sites from Central Dalar indicate that people hunted migratory birds, seals, horses, oxen, fish, and lobster. These early settlements would have been inhabited by ancient Baszku peoples. Ancient shell mounds from along the region indicate that mollusks also were frequently consumed.
By time the Baszku Kingdoms were established, several small villages were dotted along Central and Northern Dalar. In one ancient oral story, villages named Denesziya, Qabustul, and Kabavarta are described as lining the Western coast of Dalar where modern day Vertarchon is. It is from the name Kabavarta that it is believed early Zilatran explorers gave the site of modern day Veratrchon the name of Avartakalam, meaning "Fernport", at which point the Astiosi immigrants created the name Vertarchon. Eventually over the scale of two decades this name gave way to the Baszku name Vetaczun.
=== Early history ===
Originally founded as a squatter settlement by Astiosi immigrants, Vertarchon was quickly integrated into Zilatra. Development in the town was very slow, but by time of the 20's VE, construction began to take off and new prospecting citizens joined the settlement. Early immigrants to Vertarchon included the likes of the players PreppyPickle, kre0k, adminop_, and Joku_Chad.
To both the North and South of Vertarchon, new cities would be established by immigrant communities to Zilatra. These included Deamo'zgou in the Gallania Autonomous Prefecture and Aephica in the Latria Autonomous Prefecture. This gave Vertarchon the economic niche for collaboration between Zilatra and its Autonomous Prefectures. The growth of these new settlements, Vertarchon included, allowed this region of Dalar to be one of the most densely populated regions of early Zilatra. 
Under the leadership of Totomando, the city had a unique style of architecture with the creation of various townhouses and residential complexes. At this time, much of the city's economic infrastructure was based in mining.
