Tengaesal

Overview
Founded on 12/25/2020 rather recently by player maruchxn, this area has rapidly grown from a small cave dwelling to a prospering acropolis in the mountains. The city includes but isn't limited to: a five-tiered mineshaft, maxed enchantment room, harbor, large stone gate, sprawling extents of wheat, potato, and carrot farmlands both on land and floating on the surface of the ocean, and so far two actual residents. In the lore world, Tengaesal (literally meaning: "Holy Mountain City") has been the epicentre of a native Plagos civilization since the ancient times, and has lived through many eras since.

Design Aspects
The layout of Goshumá's capital shows that the Goshumese people had great advances in urban planning. The smooth paths link all the different structures of the city together, complete with street lamps to keep the parts of the city outside of the buildings properly illuminated. Between buildings are often either flower gardens or farmlands to fill the space, breathing life within the city's centre. Out from the location where the council will be built, there is a small artificial stream comprising the middle of the largest street in the city, which in one segment has lilypads and flows down to the wheat farms of the southeast.

Local Culture
Those who live within Tengaesal are known for making the best bread in the continent, for their farms allow them to do so with such a large surplus on the backs of their hands. All structures and the spaces around them are built and treated with great care, as not to make a terrible impression to visitors from the outside world. Like provinces outside of the capital, Goshumese residents take major leaps in self care and cleanliness, as it is a way to maintain good wellbeing in their community.

Real Life Inspirations
The buildings themselves use a very consistent palette of stone bricks and wooden roofs throughout the city, sharing a mostly Asian influence as is seen with some of the larger tiered buildings appearing to have spires at the top. The stone gate built over the harbor shares similar resemblance to the entrance design of the Sanchi stupa, located at an Indian buddhist monument. The tower draws heavy inspiration from Himalayan kath kuni architecture. The wheat farms resemble chinampas of Mesoamerican design, while the recently added carrot and potato farmlands appear to be designed similarly to the Inca terraced farms of Peru.

Interactions
12/25/2020: Not too long after the finished construction of Tengaesal's first building, a request made by player Jocarvas is written on a sign in front of the house, he was requesting an alliance between the two previously underdeveloped regions. This interaction then leads to the sudden and controversial formation of Plagatéa.

12/28/2020: Player helpdanah joins Tengaesal as the first member of the land area.

12/30/2020: Player Popeviper visits Tengaesal out of curiosity, and is promptly given a tour by maruchxn.
