Vesthavn

(This article is not finished.)

Vesthavn, sometimes mistaken as "Vesthaven", is a town in the south-west of Tortuga, in the newly joined territories of the Grand Union of Sørligste. It was founded on May 21st 2021 by Ligsty and Lois Griffin, who were looking to make their own settlement in what was once Soumere.

Founding
Vesthavn was founded on May 21st 2021 by Ligsty and Shrood, with Ligsty being mostly in charge of the city and it's position in GUS, while Shrood founded the Church of Herobrine, the towns largest religion. The first building would be a fort in the river of Rennen, called Tarkai, although it would eventually turn into a 6 stories tall tower.

Possible Moving
On May 25th, Ligsty and Lois stumbled upon the settlement of Capehall, where they met it's leader. It was clear that they weren't squatters, but citizens of Soumere, and so relations remained friendly. However, soon the leader of Capehall wanted to discuss claims and territories. The leaders of Soumere eventually decided that one of the settlements would have to move. The people of Vesthavn were willing to move to a place near todays Tolomar. However, in the end, the people of Capehall decided that they were willing to leave for other lands.

Development
A bridge was built across the river, aswell as houses, a grand church, a road between Vesthavn and Cloudbreach, and a tiny farm. A harbour also begins construction.

The Kerfuffle of 21
In the evening of the 12th of July, the city of Thedour-Ra declares independence under the nation of Ederan. Ligsty had stumbled upon the city a few days earlier, but assumed it to be a ruin. They are given a set amount of time to retract their claims, but refuse. On the 13th, GUS declares war through Erðvald. In the evening of the 14th, soliders gather at Erðvald, and then teleport to Vesthavn, it only laying 300 blocks away from the Thedour-Ra. They ended up surrendering, with the only casualties of the war being four friendly fires on GUS ' side.

Architecture
The town mostly consists of small houses of spruce planks and oak logs, with cobblestone floors.

Religion
The citizens of Vesthavn are either atheists or worshippers of Herobrine, a religion based on the only true god being Herobrine, the creator. Everyone in the town wears a head of him, distributed by the religious leader (also known as "the Pimp") Lois Griffin.

Geography and location
The city lies in the south-western part of Sørligste, hence the name Vesthavn. It is surrounded by a desert to the east, grass plains to the south, and a savanna to the west.
