Port Leon

Port Leon was founded by Jayant2K as a coastal city in Tortuga. It currently is located between between the towns of Windcliff in the west and Not Venice in the east. The town started to build itself up and develop itself. The population has boomed and theft became a problem for a while, but that was suppressed by protecting all houses and a crackdown on thieves.

History
After being founded, the town saw almost no developments for a couple of weeks. Until marlun joined and started to build the gates and walls of the city as well as a very nice house. Ookamiiiii who joined around the same period built a road connecting the city with the capital of the nation. From that moment on Jayant2K, marlun and Ookamiiiii together lead the town to grow further by recruiting, building and organizing newly recruited citizens. During this continued growth, the most experienced citizens got roles to help out the newer citizens such that the mayor would be relieved of that pressure.

From October 30th to November 3, 2021, things had been a bit hectic throughout the country. Port Leon was a widely revolutionist town and joined the Grand Sørgliste Federation after the Empire of Leveros took over for about three days. During those days, Port Leon was the capital of Leveros since most of the people that contributed to the coup lived in Port Leon. When the Grand Sørgliste Federation was declared and the empire of Leveros fell on the 3rd of November, the coupers and associates were kicked out of Port Leon which led to a population decrease of 13 people. Afterwards the mayor decided to ramp up recruiting again to repopulate the empty houses. Then, Port Leon had to do without Jayant2K for a couple of weeks, Dloop took over as mayor of Port Leon for a couple of weeks. Except for intensive bandit raiding and 4 people leaving Port Leon for Kadas Etnada, the town did fine.

Geography
The city is located around a mountain range on the northern coast of Sørligste. The town consists of highland and mountains, approximately half of the town lives in this part of the town. The other half of the town lives closer to the seaside. The seaside area spans across the entire bay, the city is spread from the seaside to the mountain range. Inbetween the mountains there are some rivers, most roads currently run through the mountains and follow the land. Bridges have been constructed across the rivers. In the valleys between the mountains neighbourhoods are starting to form and castles are being built on top of the mountains.

Economy
The city has a market district on the seaside close to the towncenter. Citizens are free to set up shops in this district for some internal trade in the city. Another market district for foreign merchants is being planned out. In early October when the /ah and /la spawn commands were being removed, Port Leon started making trade deals with other towns and nations to make sure that the city becomes a solid trade hub.

Culture
The landscape isn't ideal for farms, so the citizens of Port Leon started building sawa-style farms on and underground farms to make sure that Port Leon doesn't depend on Norvos for it's food supply.

The citizens of Port Leon are disciplined and hard working, they like canals, tunnels and forests. Because Port Leon likes nature, trees are planted throughout the city. They also like to have fun in one of the taverns or be busy with practicing Kadasism in the church on the seaside. From the tower on the shore it's possible to overlook most of the city and see parts of Windcliff and Not Venice. The docks have been extended longer all the way to the island to allow more people to fish in the bay.

The city also allows for families to form, weddings can be held in Saint Vincent's church.

Relations
The harbourmasters and the mayor of Port Leon made sure that the town has good relationships with the nations of Aldovir, Pyylandia, Ozeanburg, Ato, Tortuga and Uldarash. The relations with the neighbouring towns of Norvos, Windcliff and Not Venice are also good. Port Leon and Not Venice do even have plans for merging into one large city

Religion
The main religion in Port Leon is Kadasism, being created in late September. In the same timeframe as Kadasism, a religious group was invited into Port Leon which called themselves "Auraists", and started doing a ritual on a government building. No religious happenings occurred, however, after the small crowd left the castle, the Auraists converted a ring inside the government building into a fiery pit. Then led Zonering, a citizen of Port Leon up to throw him into the pit. Although he didn't die, one of the Auraist members came down to finish him but ended up dying in the fire. Zonering told many of the members of Port Leon about the Auraists throwing him into the pit to kill him, and a crusade started against Auraism. Most of the members were hunted down and converted to Kadasism, although the Auraist leader escaped Port Leon and vanished to another country (unknown which country), outside of Norvos. Only one thing is known about the leader of Auraism, is that he has converted an entire country to Auraism and has become the ruler. Kadasists are now Anti-Auraist, and discriminate against any Auraist. The Auraists are depicted as hell-like cult members who cause havoc, although this is simply a tale of the events that happened on the day of the Auraism Crusade.
