Zableux

== Introduction ==
The city of Zableux is a sizable municipality located in western Flopce, on the atlantic.
Zableux is known for hosting the largest Zabloingsky community in western europe, as well as an important dye production and tessile industry: the so known “Zabloing” cloths are of high quality and are costly to produce, which explains their high price and use as a symbol of luxury. The city of Zableux also used to be where the Z.S.S, (Zabloing Secret Services) were located, and as such it was a hotspot for counter-espionage missions based in Bingustan.
== History ==
The history of the city dates back to the classical era, when a settlement was set up by greek colonizers in the vicinity of the modern city. This center was destroyed by Bingus Empire troops some centuries later, but was rebuilt a couple hundred meters away under the name Atlantopolis. It followed much of the same development as any other city, experiencing an era of decay right after the fall of the Bingus Empire and rebirth during the Late Middle Ages.
During the Hundred Years' War, the Flopch king decided to banish all Zabloing in the kingdom to this city, which took the name of Zableaux. The Zabloing weren’t allowed to exit the city and could only work in jobs prescripted by the city’s council, they were also forced to take residence in the city’s ghetto, the largest in Europe in order to accomodate for the high number of Zabloings.
In the 17th century, after several crop failures, the Zabloing rebelled and established the “Free Zabloing County” comprising the city and the nearby countryside. The county had some success at first, powered by their outrage and determination. In the long term however, the country was doomed to fail, and it ultimately collapsed internally.
The city hasn’t changed much since, and has followed normal processes of urbanization, leading it to grow in the surrounding countryside. In the 20th century the Z.S.S was established, with the intent of gathering intel about the enemies if needed.
