## Basic overview

Gabivar (Literally translated to English: "Gabi's castle") is a small town in the Maduni region & Maduni province of the Crowndom of Lirvia, named after Lirvia's first queen, Laksia |.

It is named after the Gabriella castle (Lirvian: "Gabriéla Var") located right next to it. We don't know the exact date when the town was founded, however, we know that the town got it's name on the 11th of June 2021, on the same day as the Gabriella castle.

## History

**● During Nikusa's revolution:**

Although the town didn't yet exist during Nikusa's revolution, the small circle holding a Lirvian cross did. This monument was defiled during Nikusa's revolution, as the Lirvian cross in the circle was replaced with a Christian cross, presumably by Nikusa himself.

This was later undone, and the Lirvian cross was put back after Nikusa's revolution had ended.

**● Founding & meantime:**

The founding date of the town is not exactly know, it was not before the begin of 2021, and not after the end of July 2021. We also know by Laksio's conformation that he built the small town in aroun 10 hours on a single day because of a sudden rush of adrenaline.

After this, there were small little adjustments over a few days, however nothing major.

**● Construction of Gabriéla Var (Gabriella Castle):**

The town started to pick up paste again on the 11th of June 2021, with the construction of Gabriella Castle (Lirvian: "Gabriéla Var"). A castle named after the first queen of the Crowndom of Lirvia.

The spot for the construction of the castle was long ment to house one, but construction and planning stagnated mainly because of a lack of ideas, and also because of Nikusa's revolution.

The castle, and possibly the town itself in the future, are currently undergoind construction.

## Geography

The geography surrounding both Gabivar and the castle next to it mostly forests, with the occasional hill. It sits close by a road going from the city of Fijumi to Kecs any beyond.

From the town you can see Gabriella Castle in the near distance.

The Lirvian Cross Circle is located in a very small round valley.

## Etymology

The name "*Gabivar*" comes from two words, "*Gabi*" (*A Lirvianized play on the nickname for the name "Gabriella"*), and "*Var*" (*Meaning "Castle" in Lirvian*). Literally translated the name means "*Gabi castle*" or more correctly "*Gabi's castle*".

## Architecture

**● The town of Gabivar:**

The town of Gabivar uses a more or less Lirvian style of architecture for it's houses, but with a more localized look, due to it's heavy use of oak logs.

**● The Gabriella castle:**

The castle is mixture of mostly stone, sandstone & nether materials. It's actual style of architecture is ambiguous, however it does incorporate elements from small wall towers from the city of Kecs in it's design.

Overall, it's ambiguous style can be called Lirvian architecture.

        Something else that is interesting about the architecture of the castle is that the sandstone used comes from the shortly before then established Lirvian Sand Mining and Exploitation Colony (LSMEC). The use for sandstone in the castle wasn't a random decision of Laksio's part, but a more or less creative way to use the colony's resources early on. However the amount of sandstone used is very minimal.
