Vythia

Vythia is a coastal city in Hallandren adjacent to the Molerat sea. Its a city built on culture, religion and a major port in the times preceding the Caydefather in which blood tankers would be shipped here to satisfy the mostly vampire community. Its named after the god of Lavvythia as refuges from the great poisoning strongly believed in her and believed the Lavvythia would take mercy on them and unpoison the waters, this has been a long occuring theme in Vythia as many of its projects include monuments to her in an attempt to please her.
== History ==
As people migrated away from the epicentre of destruction and horror of the Great Poisonning, a small fishing commune was set up on the coast of the Molerat sea. But in the peak of the summertime, a flood ensued engulfing the village. This happened every year and so, so the villagers opted to build a wall. In which to protect against the ruthless tides and oceans dragging them down to the seabed. Housing was moved to small fishing huts off the coast to taller apartments behind the wall creating a class divide. The people protected and the people who were not.
Vythia became a port for the infamous blood trade, in which Hallandren would colonise territories for their blood. Mostly animal blood but with the value of blood so high, traders used any blood they could get their hands on, including human. Vythia's population grew yet again thanks to this economic boom so smaller more compact housing had to be built. Eventually the blood trade ended but the blood stained economic legacy still runs deep in the mushroom ground in which Vythia is built.
== Vyathians ==
Not to be confused with the denonym's for people living in Vythia, Vythians, Vyathians are sea monsters that lurk in the murky poisoned waters. This is properly due to the amount of waste (particularly food waste) put in the seas which then attract these Vyathians. The Caydefather himself was so intrigued by the mysterious presence of these creatures as he believed they had a strong connection to the Lavvythia. After many attacks on passing ships a hunt for them began. Many were killed and sunk to the depths of the seas but only one was brought back, by special request of the Caydefather, and hung in Vythia for all to see. Unlike most organisms it doesn't rot; many has speculated that the vyathian is still alive and we are just hanging it. Waiting for it to awaken again.
== Architecture ==
Vythia's architecture is one that embodied the gothic style of Hallandren while keeping it unique. It uses height to symbolise class and whether you are protected by the flood walls or vulnerable to the shaky tides of Kanahulu. It uses a predominantly purple dyed terracotta for the roofs. The purple dye is made from the mycelium and is added with blood to give its unique bright purple colour.
==== Caydefather Clocktower ====
The Caydefather Clocktower was constructed on circa day 40 of Tremons in tribute to the Caydefather. Its the largest structure on Kanahulu built mainly on stone, andesite & cobble. Its intricate designs and large statue tower over Vythia. It was constructed on teardrop island, an artificial island in the shape of a teardrop. Many events have been hosted there such as; Queen K'aiza's Coronation, The Lavvy Games & the Silly Landing of Vythia rp battle. There has been serious debate over who designed the tower with some saying the Caydefather did while others saying he plagarised it.
==== Statue of Vythia ====
The Statue of Vythia is built adjacent to the Caydefather Clocktower on Teardrop Island in Vythia. It is a depicition of the Goddess of Kanahulu. It was built during the reign of Queen K'aiza Taurath as a tribute to the Lavvythia and an overarching statement about how the Lavvythia always will watch over Vythia.. She is seen holding a trident made of blackstone derived from the nether and holds an amethyst crystal torch. The Statue is decorated with chains and lanterns as a reminder of how she is chained to the ocean and never to be let on land.
