It was founded at a strategic location to the Tengalii Sea, and small houses which looked like the houses in Acodon was quickly constructed together with farms.

The town was quickly developed having a harbour, parliment and mosque to solidify the city's legitimacy as more than a settlement. The town grew slowly but it grew, housing 29 players. It became an center of commerce in the Tengalii Sea and a stop for sailors and travelers alike.

## Architecture & Division

### Architecture

The town of Jushur follows the same architecture as the old capital of Zefrania Acodon, except for a district named after the first Grand Chancellor Iou Zahir which takes up a more medditeranian style. The town has a relatively large harbour, and houses three ships. There is two layers of tide-breaker walls, made to keep the city safe from large waves.

Jushur four buildings of interrest

* The Parliment (Ejznhjart Hall)
* Hejetür Mosque
* Fort Tranquebar
* Zahir's Tomb

#### Parliment

The Parliment building consist of a main dome, four smaller domes surrounding the main dome and four towers for defensive purposes which allows for the building to easily be turned into a fortification. The parliment stands at a staggering 70 blocks tall towering over the rest of the city, standing at the end of the main housing area situated inbetween the two mountains; Tejwez and Tranquebar. It is easily accesible housing the government, the royal family and the Khedive's close advisors. The dome and four surrounding towers are all made of copper, giving the roof a rusty texture. This also makes it stand out to the rest of the homes.

#### Hejetür Mosque

The Hejetür Mosque stands tall upon Mount Tejwez. It is relatively large, but defines Jushur's skyline. It has a main dome and four towers, with one of the towers being taller than the rest and serves as a look-out post and advantage point. The Mosque has a basement where prominent government figures are burried, inside tombs. Serving as a catacomb.

#### Fort Tranquebar

Fort Tranquebar stands proudly atop Mount Tranquebar which it is named after. Mount Tranquebar is the largest mountain, therefore, it was decided that a fort should be built atop it due to its undeniable strategic value, allowing to both house the garrison of Eydurin and Jushur, situated directly after Saint's Hill which is also easily defenceable.

The fort is only in its early stages of construction but it is expected to function in the state that it is in now. The fort is expected to be at full combat readiness in mid-August 2023.

#### Zahir's Tomb

The tomb of Zahir is a relatively small building within the Zahir District of Jushur. It features a tower and a two storage building, which doubles as a museum. Underneath the centre of the tower the first Grand Chancellor Iou Zahir is burried after his untimely death.

It is speculated that the building is haunted, due to it being controversial and unorthodox to burry a statesman in a museum, rumors have been spread that the spirit of Iou Zahir sometimes wanders the streets of the Zahir district.
