Charon

## Overview

The Bibliothek capital, Kapitel, for interactions with the Commonwealth of socialist republics. Was established during the waning years of the NATO/ Russo war. As a Forward operations base of action in the tunnels of 15 degrees east, defensive line. Though it was soon abandoned as the war came to its end. It wasn't until the beginning of the Alliance/ Union war that the military base was inhabited again. Then expanded as the main base for actions in the Dalvanberg region.

Quickly it became the size of a city, though not in the sense of a modern city more in the size of it population. Expanding to well over 3 million, at the height of the war. Though only 10% of that population was permanent, with the majority of the population being soldiers being sent into the tunnels never to return. By the middle of the war, with casualties continuing to mount. The alliance divided the city in half, with one side for normal operations and the other being shielded from the soldiers as contraction of a large concreate building was began.

Once the structure was created. Large amount of scientists and equipment were sent into the building. Where experiments were soon began. Then 2 months after the first scientists arrived. A train came in though this time not carrying supplies or more soldiers for the meat gridder. No this time it brought prisoners. Bound and gaged they were funnelled into the building. And soon the screams started to ring out.

It was more than a year before anything other than screaming echoed out of the building. Then two creatures walk out, followed by a group of scientist, their faces marred with disgust, for themselves and what they had created. These creatures named Charonians, ferrymen. That would lead the legions into the hell von Dalvanberg. This is how things stayed. Prisoners went in, screams and monsters came out. The legions waiting by the wall of the cavern, staring in to the black river as ferrymen returned alone, to guide the next army of ghost to the underworld.

### Die Nihil

As with all thing within the Dalvanberg region post Die nihil. The city of Charon disappeared from reality, and it stayed that way for centuries. Then on a day unknown to time. The city returned, and the tunnel to Theia minor reopened. Once communications with the outside world re-established itself, the city became a hub for trade with between the Kapitels and the surface, due to its unusual ability to stay grounded in the same time and place. It is believed the reason for this, is the local apparition. That of the last train to arrive within the station, moments before Die nihil. The train always arriving at 11:57am, with new soldier for the meatgrinder. It is believed by the people of Charon that the ghosts on the trains desire to return home, and that is the only reason for the Kapitels existence within the present.

### Dalvanberg krieg

Months before the Dalvanberg krieg the city for the first time in resent history, disappeared from the world along with the other tunnel entrance at St miller. Whilst it and St miller only disappeared for a matter of weeks nearly a month, the city that returned wasn't the one that left. It was now a central hub for the Kapitels and one of the two capitals of the Bibliothek. Which was good for within a year of its return the nation was attacked and the Dalvanberg krieg began.

During the war the city became the centre of logistics and communications between the other two nations of the VBM and later the CIR, moving troops and resources into the tunnels like they did in a time long past. The people of Charon were against the war due to the memory of what the last war to be fort with Dalvanberg did to their home, and how it effected the ghosts that wander their halls.

Thankfully in one way the war ended fairly quickly compare to the last war their city had seen, though another ghost from that dark time had returned to kill once more.

### Evacuation agreement

With the signing of the evacuation agreement and the Bibliothek joining of the CSR, the city finally came into its own. Helping to evacuate Kapitel after Kapitel through their lands. Testing and relocating entire cities to other cities that were trident-free and then moving on to relocate refugees from the surface into trident-free Kapitels. It and its fellow Kapitels was responsible for the evacuation of nearly a quarter of all infected nations. Taking in the majority of the CSRs eastern states, most being funnelled through Charon, finally no longer being the ferryman of the dead, but becoming the ferryman of the living through their Bibliothek to our Requiem.
