Baoshla

## Baoshla, Tsebri Province Falkoria

Baoshla is a city located in Tsebri Province, Falkoria.

## Origins

### Introduction

Baoshla was founded in December, 18th, 1299 by a late decedent of Likcrustra named, Rove Likcrustra. The town was founded during the Christian Dark Years era (1066-1393) when Rove wanted a safe place for people to worship and practice Christianity. He ended up having constant dreams of this project to create this beautiful town safe for Christians.

### Beginning

One day Rove was running away from a very pissed off batch of vampire bats. He jumped in the nearby sea near his village of Olsvolk and got chased by a very pissed off whale. After arriving back on the beach he got chased by the vampire bats again! Whilst running from the bats (and now bees and a very hungry bear) he eventually tripped and fell in Volkul forest, at the mercy of nature he acknowledged defeat until a Templin hunter came out and shot the bear through the head with an iron arrow. This hunter was from the Sóvn clan, a clan of Ostro hunters and warriors from Thutark Cjoska. They just moved to Falkoria in hope for mystical treasures and game, adventures in a newly discovered land. This hunter was named Hvastrek and he helped Rove up and took the injured fishermen to his camp north of Tsebri. This camp was actually a small settlement built by Christian and Templin refugees. A sanctuary for the Tsebr front. The settlement was called Trøllabundin and contained a church, 5 small wooden cabins, a central campfire for feasts, a longhouse and a blacksmith. Hvastrek healed Rove and told him about the settlement.

"We're all Christians, a lot of us are dying on the frontlines or facing persecution. Our village was burned by the Rúncloaks and arrows were being rained hell down from the sky upon us, we fled..until we came here and we set up camp. We were hear for only a few months".

Rove went back to Olsvolk only to find it was sacked and converted by vampires, running back deep within Volkul forest an ice spike cast by a vampire was fired into the back of Rove. Rove took out his axe and fought the vampire despite being greatly injured, Rove won and cracked the skull of the vampire before bashing it in the teeth and breaking it's neck. Rove fainted due to the loss of blood and energy. He awoke once again in Trøllabundin. "The holy spirit has guided us here and it is within the spirit that it desires to have you here, we know you are no Rún or Imperial let alone a bandit. You're welcome to stay with us." After recovery, Rove quickly to contribute to the settlement until they crowned him village leader. More and more Templins started seeking refuge to the settlement either for refuge or having the same dream that this settlement is from God and it is safe there.

Soon the settlement became holy and the settlement became a town, then the town became a city. The city was well known for having a good standard of life, and that it was safe from all hostile sides. A popular place to seek refuge.

## Baoshla after the war

With Imperial victory, Baoshla had to upgrade their defences because the imperial would not be happy about the existence of a safe haven for Christians. But not only that, but Baoshla acted as the military capital for the Templin Knights that were fighting for an independent (insert old name for falkoria here) and religious freedom. Baoshla would create blacksmith after blacksmith, weapon after weapon, armour after armour. There moral was high and got constant new recruits. The Baoshla Guard invented a new weapon for the knights, a type of portable of bomb used to plant into the ground and once lit, it would shoot up and land a couple dozen meters (depends on the position) and explode. A killer firework. The Templins called it "Glipnr". It was cheap to produce and was a common sight amongst divisions. This weapon crippled the morality of the Imperials for it made a terrifying hiss sound when fired. It was the same weapon that helped win the Templins win the far against the Imperials.

## Baoshla during the 1800s

Baoshla would be the first Falkorian town to have skyscrapers dating even back to 1798 with the creation of the Citadel of the Spirit. More skyscrapers would be built in 1850-1894 with 8 more being built.

It soon became a beautiful historical city with original architecture and an sprawling social life and the fashion capital of the world.
