Mawuna

The city of Mawuna was settled by an inlet off of the western coast of the island A'bel, an island apart of the mushroom isles. It currently acts as the capital of the Telleyari Republic, though it was at a time, the capital of the NSC.
== Lore ==
Mawuna was the first settlement of the Mawun, a seafaring group of gelfling whose ancient homeland had sunk into the sea. After years of being a lost people, the herds of mooshroom cattle as well as the forests of giant mushrooms gave the Mawun enough shelter and food for them to adopt a sedentary lifestyle by the coasts. The Mawun would live on the mushroom isles for a few thousand years until the arrival of the Mycelia and the formation of The Dauntier of Agaricus. The city of Mawuna was spared from the collapse of the Dauntier of Agaricus and survived to help their far off trade partners in the city of Duernhelm, to form the nation of The North Sea Confederation. However, after the events concerning the political crisis of Fingerland and the severe depopulation of several NSC islands due to The Great Plague, the NSC was dissolved. After the end of the NSC, Mawuna would become the new capital of the Telleyari Republic.
== Architecture ==
Mawuna architecture is characterized by it's red nether wart rooftops, white concrete walls, stripped spruce beams, dark oak trim, stone bases, brick chimneys, and it's tendency to make towers or other structures resembling giant mushrooms. Before international trade, Mawuna used wood sourced from a small forest located near the the city Myconati and wood from a warmer island, called Ashax, to its south covered in spruce trees. However, as the city began to receive contact from Duern traders it also began to ship wood from the mainland. 
== Ships ==
The Mawun first sailed to the mushroom isles using large plank-built vessels with outriggers fastened to both sides of the main hull, with crab claw sails. However, this proved to be unsustainable when the Mawun first began to settle the mushroom islands since they could no longer make the materials required to make the sails. During the few thousand years that the Mawun would settle the islands their more advanced ships slowly became a lost art and they transitioned to canoes that could no longer travel the vast distances of their ancestors. This would change when the Dauntier of Agaricus was formed and the first traders of Duernhelm began to trade with Mawuna. Without the resources to make sails Mawuna took advantage of its newfound wealth to create coal ships, with large paddle wheels which immensely improved their trade capabilities. Mawuna's natural harbor also made it a prime location for trade, which caused the population to boom and helped the city survive the collapse of the Dauntier of Agaricus.
== Giant Mushrooms ==
There are giant mushrooms within the city of Mawuna that have stood for thousands of years. They have glowing amber orbs of light that dangle beneath blue caps. The orbs are said to emit warmth and contain the spirits of dead ancestors. Buildings are built around these mushrooms, which forms a kind of district square. This peculiar city planning is due to the law that destruction of a giant mushroom is punishable by death.
