Gigney

= GIGNEY =

Founded in March of 2021, it was created to serve as the base of operations for the Knights of Aetheria. It is now a relatively large city with around 40 inhabitants. It's mayor is Tom Tukker and John William Tukker.

Founding of Gigney
Tomhins wandered through the desert before finding a small savannah area between a plain and the desert, with a river in the middle, and called it Gigney (he had gotten inspiration from the irl french city of giggly). He built a small hut and a Lunaist sacrifice pit. He soon created two apartment buildings and began the construction of a fort near the river and built a farm. He invited his brother (now co mayor) John8355 and ItzAstralzlways (now Astralium1) into the city. Soon after, as the Knights of Aetheria seeked a base of operations, Gigney was chosen. All three built the fort, and Tomhins invited a fourth; Averycoolman. Averycoolman was chosen caretaker of the fort and was a Knight. He then invited one of his friends, grey_tubby and then Ninelostlives. This rapid growth of both the Knights and the city created the Kingdom of Aetheria within the Qeshbago Dynasty.

AFTER THE KNIGHTS
Once the Knights collapsed, Gigney soon moved on. Astralium constructed a potion brewery and Tomhins finished the wall and created a few shops. He invited FatCop9 and another of his friends, Gundybal, to the city and it began to stagnate. Tom and John began improving the city with small tweaks, and began recruiting again. For a few months, more houses were built, more people joined and it was entirely rebuilt in about August 2021.

BATTLE OF GIGNEY
Gigney had disturbed the Gods and the Gods decided to punish Gigney. 5 Beasts of the Illagers had raided the city accompanied by 4 evokers and 25 Pillagers and 10 Vindicators against 3 players: Tomhins, ItzAstralzAlways and John8355. The Illagers pierced into the main city whilst the Beasts remained outside. John and Tom focused on the Beasts whilst Astralium went in for full glory. He had slain multiple evokers and moved onto the Pillagers, which he easily decimated. But a group of Vindicators killed him. Meanwhile, John and Tomhins focused on killing the Beasts one by one instead of facing them with their full might. John and Tom would die two times to the Beasts each but would manage to kill them all by themselves. Meanwhile, Astralium had finished off the Pillagers and killed the Vindicators one by one by using a house's roof to his advantage. The vex pushed him off and led to the Vindicators killing him a second time, being the last casualty of the battle. They eventually finished off all the raiders.

RORIS DISPUTE
Initially, Roris was a squatter town within the Chevkri Republic and the province of Gigney. Though the provincial leader, Tomhins, allowed them to join his province. However the citizens of Roris, of which at the time were around 10 to 15 of, disliked being within this province, due to seeing the provincial leader as incompetent and unable to run the province, and continued to act as if they were under no province and even sought assistance from the national government to either leave the province, or found their own.This caused conflict with the province who's land they were occupying, which is understandable as Roris was practically trying to steal their land away from them. There was a peace confrence held between the town and provincial leadership which ultimatly led to nothing as just days later multiple citizens of Roris attempted to incite a war between Roris and Gigney, this attempted war never occured however as these warmongering citizens left hours after attempting to cause war. Roris was eventually anihilated and incorporated into Gigney.

AFTER RORIS DISPUTE
After Gigney was replaced as provincial capital, there was the Umbrian Revolt, which resulted in the recreation of Umbria and the destruction of Areus. Gigney once again fell into stagnation, with a few Lunaist prayers here and there.

UMBRIAN CIVIL WARS
After the collapse of Chevkri, a Communist government formed in the SRC, which resulted in the rebellion of the anti Communist Lunaist areas of Umbria and the start of the 1st Umbrian Civil War on April 10th. Gigney saw no fighting in this war. Eventually, Coolio City fell on 15th and the First Umbrian Civil War ended. But, on June 28th, the 2nd Umbrian Civil War started and the whole country except the Communist capital joined Qeshbago. On July 3rd, Horde forces entered Urusia and the SRC government was toppled and Umbria was integrated into Qeshbago.

INDEPENDENCE
On the 28th of July, Qeshbago dissolved, and the First Umbrian Republic was declared. Crowds in Gigney, New Coolio City and Neu Athinikas celebrated as this was the first time Aetheria was independentsince the Aetherian Empire.
