Carfaris

Carfaris was a Reman fortress city situated on the banks of the Gwynethe River. Populated by a mixture of native Scainians and Remans, it served as a major government centre in the region before its destruction during the Great Gap.
== History ==
Carfaris was founded as 'Caer Faris', meaning 'Faris' Castle', during the region's initial population in the 6th Century BCE. It was an important river city, regulating trade between the hilly northern reaches of the Gwynethe and the fertile coast.
The city was part of a push by the local lords to coalesce several settlements into a nation in the 2nd Century BCE, due to the encroachments of Reme. These efforts, though, were too little too late. Carfaris was occupied in 173BCE, and was thereafter part of the Republic, going by the Remanised name 'Castrum Faricium'. This is simply a translation of the original name into Hog Latin.
The Remans saw Castrum Faricium as the important city it was, and put resources into its development. The rebellious local populace, though, refused to see the light in Reme's actions, and revolted in 150BCE. This revolt was put down two years later, and a Reman legion has been ritually stationed in the city ever since.
The city's fortunes changed greatly during the Great Gap. Its proximity to the Fen Boroughs mean it was wiped out at some point during the chaos. Nowadays only the ruins remain, with the walls breached at multiple points and the buildings inside destroyed as if by uncaring giants.
