Port of Jainpporrah

**Port of Jainapporrah**, also known as the Port of Jain, is the largest city in Jabala. It is situated on the Souk Peninsula, the northernmost point of Jabala and the continent of Elgroduhan overall. Port of Jainapporrah sits on the Paso de Jainista (Pass of Jain) sea and is about 24,904 m across the sea from the nation of Bilvalana. 712,800 people live in the metropolitan area of the Port city or about 17.8% of the Jabalwis total population. Despite its year-round hot and very arid climate, the Port of Jainapporrah sits at a latitude similar to many Olden World cities. It is more north than all of Kosnatica, Kuta, Dalamatia, and La Islas Celestiales, and sits at a latitude that cuts through southern Bilvalana, Orabella, and Annakhiyah in Khortnett.

## History

The city was founded by Jainapporish settlers who voyaged through Lobevia and Bilvalana in search of fertile land and in hopes of expanding their nation to gain respects from King Cavendish-Cuthbert (who bi-ruled Chartequincy and Jainapporrah at the time), and eventually landed in the land of the Phatim tribe. Believing this was Bilvalanis land (a nation they had very good relations with) they settled on the land without care, but the Phatim tribe didn't accept of this. This led to the 1230 AC war between Phatim tribesmen and Jainapporish settlers who resulted in the death of over 3,497 individuals (of their skulls now sitting in the Catacombs of The Port). When the Phatim were killed off, the settlers claimed the land as their own and invited other settlers and voyageurs from allied countries to help build up the Port of Jainapporrah. Bilvalanis, Lobevian, and St. Marenetites were the prime aiders in settling the land. The Jabalwis sultan originally didn't like the fact that "white men" were intruding on the land of his people, but the settlers promised handsome amounts of goods in return, so the sultan agreed.

Eventually, Jabalwis people from much more southern cities especially along the Dshagbrataari and Kafaniyati border between 3,300-3,870 km south were told of the pristine land of fertile soil by travelling Jainapporish settlers in order to build up the town, and about 60,000 moved upward. Today, about 712,800 people live in the Port of Jain legally.

## Climate, Flora, and Fauna

### Climate

The climate of the Port of Jain is dry and breezy, but still green. It has the greenest landscapes in Elgroduhan with a transitional climate said to be a neat blend of northern La Islas Celestiales and central Lobevia. It is said to be slightly cooler than Limona and a bit warmer than Vitena. Average climates year-round sit at about 24 degrees celsius.

### Flora

Roses, frankincense trees, junipers, and spruces are the primary plants found in the Port of Jain. There is also a sizeable introduced palm tree population in the Souk Peninsula, around 85,000, with about 21,000 of them planted in the Port (1/4 of the palm population).

### Fauna

There is a huge culpeo, armadillo, eagle, and badger presence in the city as well as donkey. About 5,700 culpeos roamed the city limits of the Port and estimates point to about 1,000 breeding pairs of steppe eagle, 30,000 armadillo, and 20,000 badger. Other animals that may roam into city limits include the lobo (Souk wolf) which has a population sizing up near the culpeos at 5,000. Foxes, deer, and other classic Olden World wildlife are not found in the city at all.
