Pepita

Pepita is a mid-sized town in the geographical center of the Akari Imperium, in the continent of Tanragh. Currently, it serves as the largest populated settlement in the province of Ikkan, and the fifth largest town in the nation of Akari. Home to the tallest natural point in the nation, the town's eastern horizon is covered by a tall, artificial mountain meant to protect the snowy land inside of it.
== History ==
=== Timeline ===
Pepita was founded as a farmstead, named Pepita Farms, by Queegharious Osria. Escaping from his execution back in Eldham, he settled in central Ikkan to start a farm on his lonesome, while writing his schizophrenic books. The location was chosen due to the proximity of the snowy hill. Not wanting imminent developers to destroy the natural snowy landscape for a large and brutish castle, Queeg had claimed the land for himself before it could happen.
When it was called Pepita Farms, growth was deliberately slow and much of the town's land was covered by wheat fields. When more people were allowed to reside in the farm, Pepita's farmland slowly became more urbanized. In an exponential timescale, Pepita Farms went from one person to twenty-five, replacing much of the wheat field with a dense, urbanized core. After the population had been increasing faster than the rate of the town's expansion, Queeg opted to give a new resident Queeg's own house due to the housing shortage, and settled on a small hut on top of the mountain.
The province of Ikkan had also taken notice of the spontaneous growth of the town. Not wanting Pepita to overshadow Ikkan's native culture, the natives had also settled in Pepita at the edge of town, making their own neighborhood to allow Pepita to both grow and allow for the embracement of the Ikkan culture. 
=== Pepita Mountain ===
As the town developed, and more people moved in, it became more difficult to take care of the natural snowy landscape to the east of the farm. To better protect the area, a tall mountain was constructed around the snowy hill with the help of IKKAN SHAMAN MAGIC. When the mountain was complete, with the interior still intact, floating lanterns were lit inside of the hollow mountain for visibility. Today, the mountain is still accessible to the populous but is highly dangerous to anyone venturing inside without an Ikkan to guide them.
=== Peasant's Rebellion ===
According to the town of Pepita, the Peasant's Rebellion had never started, and Peasants have always ran the town's government.
