Ragutan

Ragútan, officially the Shikorvan of Ragútan, is a southern frontier village of the Ashkavari Korqoriat. Being squished by the cities of the surrounding bay and Thennasus, it was difficult for it to expand in its early stages. Even with these challenges, Ragútan still manages to grow each year, destined to become something great. Something Ashkavar has never seen yet.

Ragútan is the home two very different races, them being the Altrykavaris and Gallatris.
The Altrykavaris are a subrace of the Kavars and are described as less intelligent by the other Kavar subraces. Altrykavari are shorter than their Ashkavari and Söhrökavari brother, but are much more physically capable. They often wear the same clothes as the other Kavari subgroups, but also often wear a headband with small jewels in it. Those jewel often have the symbol of the Kavari horse drawn on them to show respect for their previous Kavari ancestors
The proclaimed 'refugees from another world', also called Gallatris, are seen as 'wise' by the Kavari people because of their beard. The Gallatris do not symbolize their beard for wisdom however. They see this as being close to their goddess Khrestonia, as their most important prophet Yevgeny Kozèl Anerovski had one. Besides their beard, Gallatri have Slavic facial features and often blue/yellow eyes. Many Gallatris also wear a turban, which protects their heads and hair from the harsh desert conditions they faced in Yamlez and still encounter in Ragútan
== History ==
=== Early history ===
Ragútan was established in 28 VE (26 ASD) in the northern tip of the Alamaran desert by the Altrykavari people with the blessing of the Karaqhor. It was meant to just become a big fortress made to strengthen the southern border of Ashkavar, but later on it became the capital of the Altrykavari people in 36 VE (34 ASD). The Altrykavari had left the unfavorable lands of their previous capital, Mitkata, which were given by a group of refugees from Tiberia. PizzaBox, a prominent Altrykavari, was appointed as mayor and improved the live of the people in Ragútan during the prime of his reign in 44 VE (42 ASD).
=== Shakhuma Sandstorm ===
The prime of PizzaBox's mayorship turned however into the most difficult years for the Altrykavari people, due to the Shakhuma Sandstorm on 45 VE. It lingered for three years in the northern tip of the Alamaran. The Ashkavari goats, which were forcefully migrated to Ragútan and which were also the main food source for Ragútan, died out. Because of this many people lost their lives and many more fled Ragútan, including PizzaBox. In just three years, Ragútan went from being a peaceful frontier village to a wasteland, filled with tall ruins inhabited only by the bold Altrykavaris.
=== Arrival of Yamlez migrants ===
==== First wave ====
In 50 VE, live conditions were increasing in the frontier village. Ragútan came back from its depression and people started to migrate into Ragútan again. But most of them were not returning Altrykavaris. They were Gallatris and they proclaimed to be refugees from another world called Yamlez. At first the amount of Gallatris coming into Ragutan was alright. It was a microscopic amount compared to the amount of citizens in Ashkavar, but it was enough to change the demographic state of Ragutan.
A prominent person arriving into Ragútan during the first Gallatri migration was Vera Yarmilla Emphorosa (Mintylicious_), a skilled trader who used a mysterious elven crystal to open a rift to Ragútan. Most of the Gallatris from the first wave used various kinds of magic to just seemingly appear in the village of Ragútan.
==== Second wave ====
The incoming amount of Gallatri people was not slowing down however, like most of the Altrykavaris thought. The amount actually increased with Val Sol'oon Diarkes Kandoule, a previous Gallatri refugee arriving in Abexilas long before the rest did (18 VE), being appointed as the mayor of Ragútan by the Karaqhor in 53 VE to represent the growing amount of immigrants. And so in 58 VE, three large ships arrived with a significant amount of immigrants.
According to Nikita Kompo Kandoule (sqonc), a priest of the Khrestoni faith( the faith of the immigrants), the ships had felt a strong pull from Ragútan, like it was a magnet. The Gallatris think that their god themselves showed them the way to Ragútan, to establish their faith once more.
