Mirwa

Mirwa is a town in central Najer, a cursed settlement thought to be cast down by Tauros due to the heresy of its prophet, 
Naphtalim. Formerly a bustling city in the Emirate of Najer, it now acts as a warning sign to the fury of Tauros.
== History ==
=== Founding ===
Mirwa was founded after the migration of newly Mirwan people from their home of Minoa to the deep deserts of Najer. After wandering from Minoa, the founding members, including Naphtalim, Xiggerz and Cordesdt, Naphtalim spoke to the Emir of Najer, Dmitrio von Sturgeon, and proposed that the members settle there in the year 37 AB (June 30th, 2021). This is the date Mirwa was founded.
The following year, (July 3rd, 2021), the governor of the territory Mirwa was located in, Ironjaw, visited them and began to watch over the town and its progress. While Naphtalim and most of the others saw a friendly relationship with Najer, another, Cordesdt, saw opportunity for a revolution and overthrowing of the Najer government. He attempted to spread this idea under Ironjaw's watchful eye. While Cordesdt would have several clashes with Mirwa, the Najer crisis ended after Naphtalim was elected mayor and appointed Lord_Villager vizier under him to handle petty responsibilities, while he focused on his duties as prophet of Tauros. 
=== The First Cordesdt Crisis ===
In 38 AB (July 5th, 2021), Cordesdt attacked and wounded Lord_Villager after repeated acts of violence against the members of Mirwa, including Lord_Villager, CrusaderKing, and GrimPixelator. He would engage in battle with the Mirwans present, but was wounded and eventually captured, his items confiscated. As Naphtalim was not present to handle the crisis, a court case was set up by Jakob_Frost, and GrimPixelator sued Coredesdt for his acts. 
Naphtalim eventually returned to Mirwa and gave the would-be rebel a choice- a six thousand dollar fine, or an exile of two years (IRL weeks). Cordesdt accepted the exile, fleeing Mirwa, but returning occasionally to harass the Mirwans with such things as a statue of himself outside the town.
=== Expansion ===
After the First Cordesdt Crisis, Mirwa would slowly expand. With businesses such as Lord_Villager's smithy and GrimPixelator's inn, the town and its economy grew. A cabinet of ministers was formed and a new town, commonly known as West Mirwa, was formed around the ruins of Qwarakan, an ancient Najer archeological site, in the year 40 AB (July 22nd, 2021). The two towns would expand, becoming an integral part of Najer and a defining feature of its deserts until its cursing.
=== The Second Cordesdt Crisis ===
Shortly after the first Cordesdt Crisis, Cordesdt would reach out to Jakob_Frost with a proposal of lending his artistic abilities to Mirwa under the assumed name Toasty. He would approach Mirwa and enter via a side gate, but would accidentally reveal his true name when signing a document in the city. He was immediately pushed out of Mirwa, and the city's gates were barred. The citizens guarded the gates while he banged on them from the opposite side, threatening and cajoling the citizens to let him back in. This would go on for a while, until governor Ironjaw became involved. Ironjaw demanded that Cordesdt leave Najer, banishing him from the nation.
Eventually, Cordesdt left. This was the last sighting of Cordesdt, and it is believed that he was cast to Hell by Tauros, for threatening his still pure city.
