Geptishy Azx

**Geptishy Azx**, known to Amatanians as the **Horn Nest**, was an extremely populous Yomtanian city and the capital of Mouthpeace. It was the largest city on Famana, and home to the tallest building on Famana, the Kafflot Beyk, as well as the Horn Palace, where the Akka Sholvah and the Royal Family lived. In addition, the Horn Nest had an extensive underground tunnel network in which poorer Yomtanians lived.

## Sunset's Description

*In his official discord, Sunset described the Horn Nest in extensive detail.*

The political entity known by Antestal as "Mouthpeace", has multiple massive districts, which are called "Tlubmtroks" by the Yomtanians.

Each Tlubmtrok has it's own ruler and capital, and so Mouthpeace functions as a massive federation.

Each time a new dynasty of Mouthpeace came to power, they selected one Tlubmtrok to be the leader of all Mouthpeace.

Following that, the capital of that Tlumbtrok became also the capital of all of Mouthpeace, and the royal family and the Akha sholva moved to that city.
In the two early dynasties of Mouthpeace, two cities were the "grand-capital" - Egim and Oqbilosttar.

When the Othrron dynasty came to power, they announced the Pociz Tlumbtrok to be the capital Tlumbtrok, and the city of Geptishy Azx, to be the grand capital of Mouthpeace.

But this time it was different. The Othrron dynasty would dedicate a lot of resources and effort to make their capital truly grand, and they ruled Mouthpeace for such a long time, that Geptishy Azx became enormous, way bigger than any city in Mouthpeace or the rest of Famana. This is when the Yomtanians started giving it a special name, the Horn Nest, after it's spiky, enormous walls which surrounded the whole city.

Geptishy Azx became the grand capital of the mighty Othrron dynasty back when Mouthpeace still had late Medieval technology. They built the famous "Horn Castle" for the Akha sholva in the middle of the city and the huge walls. They also started a new way of building, which became a tradition in the horn nest; instead of making many small houses for each family, making very large houses for dozens or even hundreds of families, to make sure each family has a house and to make the city more organized.

Not only the houses have changed that way. The Akha Sholva also ordered to build few very large buildings - the Yospij Fid, for example, was a very large wooden mansion, which was built to replace two main street markets. It was basically the first-ever mall.

In a very long process over dozens of years, the horn nest started earning a very special look, full of bizzare, giant buildings standing close to each other, and inbetween them the old, normal houses from before it was the capital, which now became the houses of the poor.

With this unique structure, the city started getting it's own customs and behavior of the people - for example, privacy became a completely alien concept, but people shared more and became less competitive.

The city also made all the people feel tiny compared to their leaders: they were all in dense houses, so many in these poor conditions, while in the center there was a giant castle, where the royal family lived, and the Akha Sholva kept deep under the ground, trapped.

Time passed, the horn nest was shaped and designed to be the most famous and luxurious city Mouthpeace has ever known.

When Mouthpeace evolved, the horn nest evolved as well. I'll skip through to the quite modern era.

In the modern age, the Othrron dynasty still controlled Mouthpeace.

One of the earliest reforms was the underground expansion. The city became very highly populated, and so the royal family decided to start digging down, as well as expanding the city aboveground.

First it was only trails for wagons to go through, so they did not have to navigate through the mess of buildings.

But some time later, the royal family declared the "ant project" - the excavation of giant caves, which will function similarly to the big buildings on the surface. Slowly, a gigantic cave system was formed under the city. This became what was called the "basement" of the Horn Nest.

This is probably the worst place for a person to be in. Giant, endless tunnels, full of Yomtanians going through, leading to big caves. There was also a very large hospital, and injured people were taken by wagons down the tunnels to the hospital.

If you remember, the room of the Akha Sholva was underground. And so it became parallel to the horn castle om the surface. From a weird dungeon, the room of the Akha Sholva turned into a second castle - the basement of the horn castle, surrounded by the tunnels of the deeper city.

As the old houses of the poor were destroyed, the underground also became a home for the poor. Some tunnels became very dangerous places for people to live in - they were full of big criminal organizations, and the royal police could barely fight them.

Further on, the city got electricity. The Akha Sholva declared the formation of few very large nuclear powerplants outside the walls of the city, which all had a unique look as well, and many horn-nesters went to work at them. From the nuclear factories and other sources, the electricity was brought by cables. The weird city made it's own version to many modern buildings we know: cinemas, restaurants, and hotels. They all followed the tradition of less, but bigger buildings, for more people.

The famous spiky walls of the horn nest were still maginifact building, but were no longer useful. No one would have any way to harm the city anyway, and it to expand. And so the walls became historic part of the city, and a new, modern city was built outside the walls, while the inner city became more of a historic and cultural place, but many people still lived there.

Some years later "The ring train" was formed - a train which went all around the walls of the old city and connected all the parts of the outer city. The train was giant as well, with four floors. It was still way too crowded, and yomtanians were sitting on the roof and anywhere they could to travel.

The city also had the Kafflot Beyk in it - The Kafflot Beyk was the way the old tradition of living together in the horn nest looked in the futuristic era. The project started when the current Akha sholva died, and it was built around his grave, outside the walls of the outer city. Kafflot was his name.

It wasn't the tallest building in famana, but it was the widest compare to height, and also one of the highest in mouthpeace. The city got rid of a few neghiborhoods, and instead replaced them with the most ambitious building project ever made in famana: a skyscraper which looked like a small mountain, and was the building with most residents in history of famana. It was so large, that it was a whole city on itself; yomtanians could spend their entire lives there without going out. Many Kafflot Beyks never met anyone from the rest of the horn nest before.

In the middle ages, the horn nest looked like how the city of the goods would look. Giant buildings, walls, lots of gold and many rich people. But in the modern era, it became the biggest mess to exist on famana - a terrifying, yet magnificant, landscape of enormous buildings all the way to the horizon. And going down, the basement of the horn nest was even larger.

The horn nest was something humans would never form. They way it was formed was inhumans, because yomtanians made it. It looked like an extreme alien city, and that's just what it was.

Yomtanians had different brains than humans and therefore their view on city building and many aspects of life were different. The horn nest was the result of a mighty power like mouthpeace, house of so many yomtanians, shaping a capital, the city of all of the yomtanian species.

People outside the horn nest were extremly different then people inside it. The horn nest had it's own dialect, and even culture, because it was seperated for so many generations. In the more modern era, yomtanians from outside and in the city started moving and checking each other for the first time. Then the horn nest became even more messed up.

And this is, in a short description, the horn nest.

Something I forgot.

The reason the Arlidom dynasty didn't announce a new capital Tlubmtrok and city, was because at this point the horn nest was just so much more massive than any other city in mouthpeace, that it was just ridicolous to switch capital. They had no point doing that, while in the past, other dynasties had a symbolic reason to change it - to show how the royal family is now living in a different city, resembling a new rule on all of mouthpeace.

Would also want to mention that the very gigantic form of the horn nest described at the end was in the very futuristic area, ahead of our time today. Most of it's history it was less exaggerated - but still a hell of a city
