Nuhaven

Nuhaven is a small village in the southern foothills of the Magros Mountains, just north of the coast along the Oyashima Sea. The village has a mutually beneficial relationship with the Monastery of the Thousand Moons, with the village providing food and other goods to the monastery and the monastery providing protection to the city whenever bandits or thugs attempt to raid the city.
==Population and Growth==
For most of the period its inhabitants can remember, Nuhaven has been a small town with no more than 150-200 people living there at any given time. However, in recent years the city has undergone a population explosion due to an influx of refugees from the Scientarian Revolution. By 5 a.s.r, the city has a population of around 5000. By 10 a.s.r., the town had grown to nearly 10,000.
The swift population growth has also precipitated growth in the size of the city, with many new homes and farms being built to house the house the refugees. The construction of the city has been managed and directed largely by Geylin, the only experienced architect in the village. After 10 years several other architects petitioned to begin building projects, but the town had been so standardized by the Oyashiman styles Geylin had brought, that the town's planning department essentially ran them out of town to keep the current look and style.
Unfortunately, coping with such a massive population growth with so few resources available is all but impossible, and the town, while still maintaining a town square and market, has grown haphazardly and is often more resembles a vagrant town than one living in partnership with a monastery. The majority of the townsfolk live in in large group-houses, where several families will live together, often living as a single family-unit and sharing food and other necessities.
==After 15 a.s.r.==
After the death of Alek Tellumnar, Nuhaven accepted King Kusotare as their ruler. In 54 a.s.r., they gained regional autonomy for their region, creating the state of Haven, and taking Prince Masara as their governor. By 65 a.s.r., the city has finally been organized into something that is not simply urban sprawl.
