Farafin

(Bradecblightic: “F-ayr-AH-feen-ah”) (Huitca/Travelers Tongue: “fair-Ah-finn”/"Far-Uh-finn")

Farafin is the capital city of the Huitca state of Zoquiyo, in Mainland Ummarnu. This beautiful Seaside town sits on the Savannah island of Dadriks'ajal, which is thinly separated from the Zoquiyo mainland by the Grace River.

This city is part of the Huitca Federation, as it joined during the day of its founding, December 18th, 2020. It's Hoxi, or Mayor/Governor, is Toronto Dougwald (RedFireRex).

Backstory
After the death of Rex Fernand the day of the Great March, and the Battle of Tlahatl, Rex was Reincarnated as Toronto Dougwald.Toronto, before emerging from the bay between Ocotlan and Zoquiyo, had a vision of the Cardinalist Goddess of Cualitzin telling him to forget his past, to be loyal to the Huitca Federation, and to settle a new city in her honor. Toronto quickly gathered materials, and began his work on "Huitca's Tropical City".

The Road of Isolation
Upon settling the Ummarnu Coast, Toronto noticed the faint lines of a path long forgotten. This turned out to be an ancient road that pre-dates the Huitca people, which Toronto has named the Road of Isolation, which Toronto believed allowed the exiled and lost travelers to escape the inhospitable reaches of South Ummarnu during the Viper War, due to the broken carriage along the route that carried stacks of Terracotta and Gold. It looked like the road was still traveled, but less often then it used to be.

Toronto quickly started working on repairing the road, and now the Road of Isolation (Named due to how Isolated it is in the vast, unexplored reaches of Huitca Frontier land) has been almost fully restored. The fixed-up road runs all the way from the edge of Huitca's Frontier land all the way to Toronto's Cualitz settlement, but in the future, he hopes to get permission from Ardat to repair the road fully.

Despite Toronto fixing the road up, he still wanted to keep the isolated feel of it. His "Fixing up" mostly just consisted of him building bridges across rivers. The road still remains isolated and lonely, as the only signs of human life is the faint glow of the torch lamposts that occasionally dimly light up this long, and mysterious path. Toronto predicts that a settlement, long lost to time, may have existed in Zoquiyo for hundreds of years before the founding of Cualitz. This conclusion was reached, because there are still outlines of buildings along the Cualitz Coast. Toronto wishes to do some excavation of these areas in the future to try to find how this civilization fell. Toronto has named this mysterious, long lost nation as the EOTR (Pronounced Eee-oh-ter) Refuge, with EOTR standing for End of the Road.

Toronto hopes to build up Cualitz, and to make it a new refuge for the lost and exiled souls that wander along this ancient path.

Patron Goddess
The Patron Goddess of Cualitz is Cualitzin, The Cardinalist Goddess of the North, Goddess of the Overworld, Goddess of Life, and the Goddess of Order. She was chosen as the Patron Goddess due to her reincarnating Toronto Dougwald. The city of Cualitz is also situated on the northern-most tip of the Ummarnu Continent, so the Goddess of the North fits here as well. Toronto later changed the name of his settlement from Cualitz to Farafin, as this is what he believed the Bradecblightic word for "Sea", or "Seafarer" was seeing how the town is surrounded by bodies of water.
