Lefavdrin

Lefavdrïn (ðeˈ.fäv.dɾæn) was city in the continent of Rozakko'ra founded by Dezo Oylefav. It means "Eternal Sunday Sunsets" in Velen, which means the heavens look like a sunset.
== Background ==
Excerpts from Final Felesians: Tale of Dezo by Magrone Junn: A harsh winter had been ravaging the holy Garfist city, Felesia, for months. This event was named the “Godval T'Eto Deparjan”, or “The Great Snow of Deparja.” Crops had been diminished, people were dying left and right from diseases they didn’t know how to fight. The sky was dusty and grey. The clouds stack upon eachother looking mightier than ever to be seen. Life was only in the hearts of people who managed to survive. Figures like Morfetico Humblewood and Leofwine Greencoat had left Felesia long before conditions got dire. The mayor, Luke Greencoat was all alone in search for a message from Garf.
...
It was sickening to see the once healthy and lively mayor in such a bad state. “Setiir Žo T’Vaethno!”, or “Deploy the Žo Vaethos!” Luke yelled with his raspy voice. A man pushed through the crowd. “The Zo Vaethos? That ship has never been used. Heck, that’s the ship we stole from somebody years ago!” Luke nodded his head before repeating himself. The crowd was in shock. Murmurs and voices could be heard from everywhere in the cluster of people. “We will be journeying to new lands” Luke exclaimed before he went back into his estate and that was that.
...
The Felesians got their bags and their family members before racing onto the ship, not looking back. The line going onto the ship was so long and so packed, it stretched its way to Aurelina Peak. It took a while to push everyone onto the ship, but when the ship was almost ready to set sail, something did not seem right. Mayor Luke Greencoat was no where to be seen. The whole town on the top of the ship looked around for a second before spotting him struggling to walk onto the boardwalk. “There he is!” a man yelled. The crowd fell silent; only the waves crashing against the ship and the boardwalk could be heard. Then, his cane slamming against the wood could be heard. “I, along with the Eternal Sunday will stay here.” he shouted before a shining beacon of light in the middle of the enormous clouds appeared. “Laz.” he uttered. The Felesians said “Laz” back in awe, fear, and sadness. The light pulled Luke Greencoat into the sky. Slowly, he ascended into the Eternal Sunday to be seen with the other saints, aspects, and Garf, himself. When he reached the clouds and was not visible because of the light’s brightness, the light did not disappear. Another figure was coming down onto the people. “It’s Luke, he’s back!” The crowd seemed hopeful. As the figure got closer, the people were confused. It did not have grey hair. Instead, it was bright orange. It wasn’t wearing a black suit. Instead, it was a cyan cloack. “Who is this?” many asked themselves. When the figure lightly put his feet on the floor, he said “I am Dezo Oylefav. I am the mortal reincarnation of Garfield made from the flesh of him and Luke Greencoat. I will guide you across these seas until we reach our new promised land.” The thunderstorm vanished, the clouds there for months melted away. The blood moon was clearly visible. Courageously, he walked onto the boat and instilled himself as Captain.
...
Days and nights would pass. Those days would then turn into months. Sicknesses plagued the ship. Even the smallest cold could spread and kill the most vulnerable. When the ship passed by land, no matter how far away they could see it, the people wished to settle there. “Wow, a tree. Gosh, a whole forest! Why don’t we settle there, Dezo?” a man once asked. “That tree. That “whole forest” is not the promised land. It’s a deception by Odie. Those aren’t real forests, lad.” No one ever questioned that authority.
...
On the final day of the journey, the people woke up to blazing heat. After all of the cold Felesia endured, it was good to feel warmth, but the heat where their ship was located was hotter than they had ever experienced, but bearable. Instead of properly docking, Dezo crashed the ship onto a shore. When the Felesians came out of whatever hole in the wall lead to the outside, they were met with a pack of aardvarks and a wide view of nothing but terracotta badlands. It was odd at first seeing such interesting animals that had never graced the eyes of any Felesians, but they befriended the aardvarks, eventually leading them to show the people to their hill. Another trip was about to be embarked on, though, much shorter. The people believed that they were walking to a green space with grass and trees, time would only tell. They took in the wide expanse of the badlands. It was rugged yet flat, monotonous yet colorful, and peaceful yet unsettling. It was liminal, almost uncanny. The only familiar sight was their family, the sky, and the sun, a constant reminder of Garfield.
...
When the town hall was finished, it put into perspective how few Felesians survived the great winters. It shows how little the town was, how many people lost their lives, and how little we settled for, just to find the “promised land.” There was no turning back at that point.
...
Unfortunately, one night, a group of bandits destroyed the town. After all the work had been done to create a town for the leftover Felesians, it failed. The one way to get off the mountain was destroyed, the farm was completely botched, and the town hall was in despair, just like the ship. There was vandalisation all over the walls of the town. The town tried to slowly rebuild, but all hope was lost. Little by little, the population of the town dispersed into neighboring areas. Many went to Dawnhold, a neighboring town with close relations to Lefavdrin. Others went to separate neighboring towns that were also under the Hanyashara government. Others even went to Chimeria the nation to the north. Either way, Lefavdrin was gone. Dezo died alone after battling an infection in one of his facial blisters. His bones lay in the same place. His silhouette can still be seen: a weeping man kneeling down to the town hall.
In Travelers' Tongue:
"When the Deparjans arrived At a coast of Rozakko'ra, Many aardvarks guided them to their burrows In the tall mesa. There, the Deparjans will soon learn To live in peace With their new aardvark friends. The mesa where the heavens sunset."

In Velen:
"Abod, t'ozdeparjami marunźo Bïśo oyrozakrap, T'ralatmi sirźo zimm bïozim t'abodmi ozpitomi Bïḍeaḍàdrïn far. Joz, t'ozdeparjami nedival T'lefilep on t'loilep Eś t'ralatmi nyme metenme. T'Lefav Udrïn Bïḍeaḍàdrïn."

== Decline ==
Sometime before the 22nd of October 2024, Lefavdrin was abandoned. After the death of Dezo Oylefav, the town found itself adrift, without a leader to guide its people or a sustainable means of survival in the harsh environment of the Mesa. Dezo’s absence left a void, and the town’s fragile infrastructure quickly began to crumble. As resources dwindled, a devastating famine swept through the community, leaving the residents desperate and struggling to endure. Unable to find solace in their desolate surroundings, many were forced to abandon their homes, seeking refuge and sustenance in nearby settlements. The once-thriving town became a shadow of its former self, a poignant reminder of the crucial role Dezo had played in its survival. 
"Bandits from across the badlands would use Lefavdrïn as a punching bag for their operations. All of these problems led the town to be dirty, unsafe, and everything a fallow is not. Everyone in Lefavdrïn left the town, never looking back. The people dispersed into neighboring towns and the traces of the people of Lefavdrïn is lost, left behind on the hill. The town is now a shell of its former hope it once displayed and casts a shadow of empty ruins."

== Landscape ==
The town is in the center of the Rozakko'ran Mesa, or the "T'Ḍeaḍàdrïn Ki" (The Large Mesa) in Velen. The town outlooks the mesa on a small, flat, plateau. T The town consists of several layers with some buildings tunneled into the mesa. Nearby is the Nendir Oudal Astronomy Observatory
"Their puny, flat, plateau had nothing in sight for their future. It never did. The town on that peak, Lefavdrïn, never lasted. Small packed-together homes were constructed on the cliffside, but the town was not self-sufficient. Resources were scarce, especially water which was difficult to receive."

== Diaspora ==
All of people from Lefavdrïn are now spread across the continent of Rozakk'ora in Chimeria, Hanyashara, and other small nations or city-states. One man however, Magrone Junn, is on the continent of Iristoya in Kamtargaa, a city founded by a Felesian, his home town. At
