Djaripol

**Djaripôl** (Bujanski: **Џаріпол**, **Џаріпwл**; Naonaere: **Čjaræpol**, **Чјарѣпол**, "Shell Coast") is Paxoti's and Radumo's hometown. It is located at Starij Province, at the eastern shore of Bujan.

## History

### Bujanski Revolution

Although Djaripol was under the rule of the Salvationists, remaining somewhat unscathed from the wars breaking out elsewhere, in later times, unfair policies led to cronyism favouring party officials over commoners. It led to greater sympathy for the locals, as more "book clubs" were held to know more about information that was banned by the Salvationist cadres. When the Party declared war on the Bujanski people, the southern half of the city revolted.

On November 11, when the Wannaenids plunged the entire island into a blackout, some partisans built portals to allow revolutionaries to take over the city and overthrow the Salvationists. Many of the revolutionaries were Terrans who fought on the side of the Bujanski, becoming members of the Free North afterwards.

The First Battle of Djaripol took place on April 1892, when the city fought back against a Wannaenid counterattack.

### Independent Bujan

Although Starij Province voted to be an "orange province" to protect local Terran loyalists, twenty-nine terrorist attacks were reported there. Djaripol suffered from ten of those attacks, Noshopol reported three, and Voripol had six.

The second Battle of Djaripol was a westward attack on July 24 by a combined force of Anti-Terran Action militants and Salvationists. The Royal Armed Forces' personnel defeated the besiegers.

## Transportation

Line R-007 is the main bus route in Djaripol, going on a circle around the city.

It operated since independence and thrived in spite of the violence that raged on the following July. For delivering supplies to protect troubled households, even loyalist Terrans, it was named as the Old Faithful, or "the Starovaernij". Its colour is orange.

## Trivia:

* A person from the town or anything related to it is known as "Djaripôllian".
* Djaripôl's official languages are Bujanski, Eosome, and Naonaere. Naonaere is the language of the native Wonao tribe that lives in the province.
* Djaripôl was the former provincial capital of Starij Province, until it was moved southwards to Noshopol after the Wannaenids bombed Voripôl.
* "Starij", the name of Djaripol's province, means "Old" in Bujanski.
	+ The name should be pronounced as "Sta-ree", as in "starry".
	+ The native Naonaere name for Starij Province is **Mjorodiraz** (, meaning )"the three volcanoes". This is also represented in the provincial flag.
* Like in Koscheigrad or many Bujanski cities, roosters are a common sight in the streets. Feral and pet roosters there tend to be more friendly to humans, approaching them to be petted or fed. Djaripollians also love to hear the crows of roosters, even as it also helps them sleep at night.
* Djaripol is stereotyped as "a slum disguised as a seaport", due to its Arnadjanai community and high rates of vandalism, cussing, and brawling. It is depicted as a backwater inhabited by stupid blonde drunks.
* Noshopol, the current capital of the province, is seen as the smarter twin of this town. Even then, Noshopollians often laugh at themselves for their snobbish carelessness and love of heavy metal.
