Elliom Capital

## General Information

Elliom Capital is the capital city of the Kingdom of Elliom and was founded by LimitedHistory on August 23rd, 2023. It is situated among many floating islands in the southwest corner of the map and is home to 4 residents including its founder. At its height, it had 13 residents, with all lost residents disappearing during The Dark Age.

The town was originally economic hub, being responsible for much of the trade on the server, but has since pivoted to a military focus under a Doshist doctrine of religious fanaticism. The city is extremely-heavily fortified and is protected a constantly-changing number of human guards, all equip with orders to kill any unsupervised barbarians or enemies that come within its large walls. While this does not mean that such barbarians, enemies, or even general players are disallowed from entering the area, there is no guarantee of anyone's safety, and such orders are up to the discretion of the individual guard to carry out, ignore, or reinterpret. It is believed that the loss of population during The Dark Age may have thinned its defensive (and offensive) capabilities enough to allow outsiders nearby, with one notable example being that the iron golems that once protected the city are now missing.

Elliom Capital is the holiest site in the Doshist religion. This is unsurprising as Doshism is only practiced by the Elliomer people, and bananapants3462, the Doshist God, is also a citizen of Elliom Capital.

## Elliom Capital Administrative Divisions

Elliom Capital consists of three distinct subdivisions and one unincorporated territory. The subdivisions are: Elliom Capital proper (within the walls), the Elliom Expanse (to the south and west of the walls), and the Elliom Border Settlements, including the towns of Arbreton, Aspermont, Afaya, Bayle, and Knoxmoor. The unincorporated territory of Pelee Island is also situated close to the walls and is entirely uninhabited, holding only The Face of Elliom, a statue of umbrellamine created by Bowmanium. Each of the three major subdivisions is entirely claimed and administrated by Elliom Capital, although each area has special delegations. The Elliom Border Settlements are primarily delegated to Vectronr who has been granted permanent residency and building permits. Elliom Capital proper is delegated to the crown, its advisors and assistants, and Doshist religious figures/entities. These include LimitedHistory, kimbe0423, Bowmanium, bananapants3462, and Vectronr, although special status has also been granted to umbrellamine and Masons for various reasons, with specific rights given to Masons after the former Elliom Suburbs subdivision was annexed into Elliom Capital proper. Pelee Island was temporarily delegated to Bowmanium for building The Face of Elliom, a large statue of umbrellamine. The island is now under direct ownership of the crown.

## Construction and Institutions

The majority of the town itself, including its buildings and decorations, amenities, storage and work area, wall, stable, and connecting roads were built by Elliom's Urban Planner, Bowmanium, as well as his primary residence near the center of the city that doubles as the headquarters of the Royal Engineer Company of which he also founded. The town is connected to other Kingdom of Elliom settlements in Shadowmoor and Grayvale by pathways and a two-way all-day self-ferry system, with these pathways and systems created and implemented by Bowmanium.
