Karannatia

Karannatia was founded by Bel Amir around 1666 ASC (mid-january of 2022) in Aesperium Niedea. The modern history of the place is at first centered around the character of Bel Amir, but the beauty of the place attracted many citizens and the city is currently experiencing an unprecedented growth. It was one of the main host of the noble rebellion during the Aksemesai from 1701 ASC onward.

Etymology
Karannatia is formed with the old asteri words of guard (Kar), watch (Annat) and land (-ia) and means 'watchman's place'. The use of an old version of asteri is due to the fact that Bel Amir grew up far from the core regions of the escharian states.

Foundation
Following the Tobinoran, a nocturnal dream which happenned the day of the formation of Astyllea (january 9th 2022), Bel Amir reached the Lausarii community in Theionikos and offered them to cross the desert and settle in Aesperium Niedea. At this time, the niedene community had great concerns about Aldovir coming into power, The group was offered by Kesefor Luci Magistri to settle ontop of a hill dominating a valley of the Orranderlost. They were asked to build a fortress in this undwelled area in order to guard the border if Aldovir tried to push further north. The place was surrounded by several ruins: a farm west, a corrupted area at east and a the Hilltown south.

First years
Bel Amir soon met with Ikaritor (Inquisitor) Tobbrath when he was scouting through Aesperium Niedea. The inquisitor cordially offered him to formally join Aesperium Niedea, an offer Bel Amir accepted with joy. However, just after the walls were erected he met with Oenkaboenka, an emissary from a neigbouring squatting town called Lithranor. Oeankaboenka was looking forward expanding the realms of Lithranor to the ruins south of Karannatia, colling the place 'Mikenes'. He thus threatenned Bel Amir to join his group, telling him that they were more than 70 and that Karannatia 'won"t stand a chance'. Hopefully, the squatters have been driven away by Aesperium Niedea soon after. After these events Bel Amir focused on cleaning the area, which slew down the development of the settlement.

Gaining its place in the Imperium
Once the Orrenderlost was cleaned, Bel Amir built the tower of Kommares (coming water in asteri) and the gardens of the Emperor. The reputation of the town grew as the beauty of its patio and council hall attracted travelers. The area of influence of Karannatia eventually became the whole western part of the Soleannen Imperium. The departure of Rust from the leadership of the duchy of Varmerion left a political void, and Bel Amir was appointed Kesevor by the Emperor in 1673 ASC, just 7 years after his arrival. The rapid ascension of its leader, his proactive squatter hunt and the beauty of Karannatia eventually attracted new players.

Aksemesai
After Auria's trial and her rescue by Amir an Averroii, Karannatia became the epicenter of the noble rebellion against the Dazoqan (dictator) of Escharia. After a serie of skirmishes in the surrounding area, the town was sieged by a heavy army lead by the Dazoqan herself. The walls of the town breached after the first assault, but the Dazoqan forces weren't able te penetrate in the Red Fortress. Defender's resistance helped them buy enough time so that the herodian's army could come and rescue the town.

Architecture
The architecture of Karannatia reflects it's specific geographical situation, at the crossroads of several cultures. If the original buildings (keep and fortifications, cathedral, staples) has Thaidian and Solarii influences an overall, the town maintains a Lausarii style adapted to heat. The use of ciseled stones, specific to Thaidian architecture, was substituted by ocher stones imported from neighbouring Theionikos.

The influence of theiosist arcihtecture is noticeable in the temple.
