Fransterdam

Fransterdam is a town located in south Ummarnu as a part of Uldarash. It was settled by culturally Zefranians mistaking the lands for Zefrania. They only realized said mistake when they had setup their town and advanced it far. The towns name is a combination of France and Amsterdam.

Settlement
The city was founded by Eightwhisper who quickly assured the cities growth and prosperity through clever and adaptive methods of attracting players to his so far, humble town in the middle of the Uldarashi savannahs. The town found its place as the only actual town in that part of Uldarash, the area is notoriously empty and Fransterdam was seen as a beacon of light and civilization for that massive land area.

Controversy
Due to its religious and cultural similarities with Zefrania, and it outright being made up of self-proclaimed Zefranians, the Zefranians attempted to purchase the lands and some others from Uldarash as to avoid border gore. The Uldarashi government declined sparking discontent for them in Zefrania because they were basically neglecting this area, and reaping the rewards from the dedicated people in that area.

Downfall
After the news of the recent death of Zefranian Caliph Zedis Eydur reached Eight Eydur he was deeply saddened. This was not only one of his friends but his father. This led to a decline in the city, and Eight not knowing where to go and what to do of himself. The town fell apart as inactivity began to plague the large town at this point.

Retribution
After the return of Zedis Eydur, Eight Eydur would brief him on the situation. Eight had abandoned Fransterdam and took off to settle a town in Kutaiyara. Eight after Zedis' return would himself return to Fransterdam and it slowly started growing once more.

Architecture
The architecture of Fransterdam is a medieval central European style of architecture. Featuring mainly two story houses, with the lower layer being made up of stone and the upper layer being made out of woolen walls and wood.

Layout
Due to the town being settled by the "Behemoth River" which travels through most of southern Ummarnu it has easy access to clean drinking water. The towns borders currently run by the river. It is surrounded by a valley keeping the town safe, also using this valley to build upon.

Zefranian Culture
The town being settled by Zefranians has a culture that mirrors the Zefranian one. They have fierce warriors, which worship Lux to the end.

Religion
