Hicto

**Hicto**, formerly known as **Kozuke'jad**, is a settlement in western Andamooka, Emirate of Najer. It sits on a plateau overlooking the sea to the north and south.

## History

Not much is known about the settlements history, only that as of 7/8/2021, it was left in disrepair. However, in the then abandoned town of Kijaro, an old settlement of Najera'jad in Andamooka, two new players named Ole\_Sheev and Just\_Shooter would resettle the town of Kijaro. Soon, Ole\_Sheev would begin to explore the area surrounding their new home, and when he traveled west past the capital of Wobambi-on-Sea, he would find the ruined city of Hicto.

During that time, Just\_Shooter would begin rebuilding damaged parts of Kijaro, and plan after Kijaro was repaired, to do the same with Hicto. Later that day, Ole\_Sheev and Just\_Shooter would have an unexpected visit by the governess of Andamooka, \_Luunas, and minutes later would join the Emirate of Najer as citizens. Reconstruction efforts on the now revitalized Kijaro would be finished, and permission given by the Emir of Najer Bigfatpen, Just\_Shooter moved to begin the reconstruction of Hicto.

At this point, the settlement had just been an unclaimed project, but after griefing took hold of parts of the city, Just\_Shooter with the assistance of Kijaro's mayor Ole\_Sheev would plan to claim the city to prevent any further destruction befalling it. Just\_Shooter would claim the city, having Ole\_Sheev join as a member, and supplying the funds to finally establish its borders.

Hicto was at one point planned to serve as the headquarters of the Najer Armed Services, but due to other pressing matters, this plan was abandoned, and the city was given to Hitomi Numachi. Old historical records indicated that Hicto was founded by the ancient Naho people, from whom Hitomi was descended from. She renamed the city after her birth mother's surname, combined with the common Najer town suffix "jad": Kozuke'jad.

Although development began on the town once more, these plans again fell flat as personal concerns took Hitomi outside of Najer, and her joining of the mercenary group The Hands would lead her to leave Najer altogether. She passed the town to WardenX2 of Kijaro, who, with the help of builders from Nahrayn, would begin construction on the city at last. Kozuke'jad was being built up until it is fit for settlement.

There is almost no infomation of what happened next. Only that the Order of the Red Quarterstaff would control the town of Kozuke'jad until there was a new seyoh. The town was Najer tho. They contructed a very large underground base and mainly live there. They would also build some other impressive builds, like the ships on the coast.

Later on 10 december, 2022. Anumtekil became the next seyoh of Kozuke'jad after Dajciemiumrzec give him ownership of it. The same day, Anumtekil would make a poll about renaming Kozuke'jad back to Hicto. After 1 day of voting time, The town was renamed back to Hicto with 6 votes. Anumtekil would focus on Najerizing Hicto and making Hicto more active then ever before.

But, not everything would go smooth. There were tensions between Anumtekil and the previous seyoh, Dajciemiumrzec. There were griefings on both sides. Only tiny things were getting stolen from Anumtekil, but that's not the case for Daj. He's underground storage room got griefed badly. This caused even more tensions between the two. A meeting was sceduled to talk about all of this and would be held on the 28th of januari, 2023.

During the meeting, Anumtekil agreed to leave Hicto for a new town to manage, Ajek Point. After a few days, Anumtekil packed his last items and left. After that, the Order completely demolished west-Hicto into nothing but sand. Hicto is now again ruled by Daj from the Order.
