Cyathus

Cyathus is a city in the nation of Taravor ruled by the Cyazar Daizy Tauralea. Its built on the ancient cow arches of Saffronis' Garden. Saffronis Worship is the state-mandated religion in Cyathus -as stated in the consitutiion- however many religions have had their influence in Cyathus. Cyathus also has a sister city named Helmfirth which is an extention of Cyathus founded by the Cyazar's adopted daughter Clara Tauralea. The city is known for its natural beauty and its strange phenomenon of enlarged plants. 
==History ==
===Saffronis' Garden===
The story goes that Saffronis, the powerful spirit which inhabited civilised Cyathus long before the start of the Voyagers Era, owned the Evergreen, a garden where the laws of nature were stripped and flowers grew as tall as trees. It was his pet project and what he cared for, however he saw evil visions of men colonising and exploiting the garden. Saffronis wanted his legacy to live forever more than anything. So in order to protect his garden he took 2 magical seeds and planted them gracefully into the ground. One grew into a rose, the other a daisy. Then by the magic of Saffronis, the flowers grew into cows and the twin sisters Daizy and Rosey were born. The firstborns of the Bovine House Tauralea.
These two cows swore to protect the garden of Saffronis and made sure that it safely grew and blossomed into the beautiful garden it wished to be. Eventually a cow society was forming, houses were built and the cows were enlightened by the Syntara to plant their own seeds under the sun and grow wheat - a much tasty alternative to grass. The village of Cyathus was growing. It was roughly the dawn of the Voyagers Era when it was spoken that a goblin passed by the garden and decided to stop by in Cyathus, Daizy became enamoured with him and they birthed a child together. The first-born son of Daizy Tauralea. His name was Melraea Tauralea and was a cow just like his mother. Apparently, the goblin had left in pursuit to find his true family and left his own. Melraea eventually also left to start his own town far away but regularly comes back regularly. Daizy grew sad and was alone but her light was reignited and had their sights on Juno, a 'catman' who was a nomad constantly looking for adventures. And he found one, Juno and Daizy got married, some say on a bench but we know it was a small and magical occasion, and after a while Geralt-James Tauralea was born.
===Birth of the Constitutional Cyarchy & a Slime===
The two Cyazars Daizy and Rozey began to become ever more suspicious of the growing human population especially after someone had reported a mass slaughtering of local cows, the twins had to take action. To stabilise Cyathus and get more help running the town, the tribunal was formed in an effort to give a voice to the local people as anyone could apply. And the first Cyathus constitution was signed however many discredit this 'empowerment' of the citizens as the constitution was very centred over the two Cyazars and their power to do virtually anything they wanted and many thought of the tribunal as simply yes-men or powerless. However, many did not care as food was plenty and the land was peaceful. 
It is said that one day while Daizy taking his son Geralt-James fishing on the Otterguard river, she spotted a slime, they talk and exchange about their troubles. Daizy was feeling sad after Juno had ultimately left. While Clara was separated entirely from her slime swamp. Eventually Clara agreed to become adopted by Daisy and settled a new town with the help of Cyathus called Helmfirth, a bastion and haven for slimes alike. Rozey decided to venture out of Cyathus, to find herself in this newly vast world. Leaving Daizy to become to the sole Cyazar, the one ruler of Cyathus. And her anointed her children, Melrarea, Geralt-James and Clara to become the Grand Cyatt, Cyathide and Cyattress.
===Religious Fanaticism and Buttons===
Faith in Cyathus was loosely regulated, although stated in the constituition that Saffronis' Worship was mandatory, yet the people's faith were loose. Creating the perfect conditions for a new religious craze. And after Juno the catman unexpectantly left, leaving Daizy alone yet again. She turned to someone else. A foreign God (or chicken rather) Greg and become a devout follower of Gregism. This alienated many, as people were confused and criticised the Cyazar for this betrayal of her own roots. 
 
It is important to note that the relationship between Daizy Tauralea (the current Cyazar) and her second son Geralt-James was rocky after a recent argument rumoured to be about Daizy's publicly seen cruelness and coldness towards Geralt. Geralt became a local farmer for a while, determined to become independent from his nobility. And on a sunny day, something extraordinary happened. From the clear sky a floating oak button emerged. A being some refer to the 'Buttonneka', the Button enlightened Geralt & the other locals near by. They became entranced by the floating object and its powers. It is written that they shouted:

GeraltJamesEnlightenment.png|Geralt-James' Interaction with the Buttonneka
Which is old Boviniage language for 'You are kind!' in travellers tongue. The Buttonneka was quite used to this attention from the natives of the world and believed that their loyalty was superficial. This thought angered him so he struck down on one of the farmers. Yet the people kept on praising, kept on believing, The stricken farmer was dead but a brave farmer shouted 'Resurrect my father and take me with you!'. The Buttonneka was shocked to see such courage and fearlessness in her. The Buttonneka resurrected the farmer and ascended the girl. The rest of the farmers gazed as she ascended to the sky.
