Lemebah

Port Lemebah (shortened to Lemebah) is one of the Major Cities of the North. It is situated on the western coast of the Bay of Kapila, on the southern coast of the Island of Yulara.

Lemebah was formerly a vassal state underneath The United Empire of Akratia, but as of 25th of October it is officially an independent City-State.

On the 26th of October, the Founder of Lemebah, Mimmy, signed the Articles of the Silver Coalition as a founding sovereignty. Lemebah is one of 6 other founding sovreignties.

History
Lemebah was founded on the 9th of October following the pilgrimage of the Founder, Mimmy, who walked from the far North-West corner of Rathnir, guided by their lady Lemebah. It is said that the Savannah is her sacred land, and that Lemebah was destined to be settled upon the banks of the confluence of the rivers that irrigate its fertile soil.

Following establishment of the City Centre on the western bank of the Bay of Kapila, Mimmy was approached by Emperor MW_Neoz of The United Empire of Akratia, and was absorbed into the empire as a vassal state on the 12th of October. The vassalage of Lemebah lasted 14 days, with Lemebah purchasing full independence from the Empire for a sum of 19 gold ingots.

Contact with The Sand Republic, to the North East of Yulara, was established on the 24th of October, and a road between the two nations has begun construction.

Following the declaration of Independence, Lemebah, alongside 6 other sovereignties ratified the Articles of the Silver Coalition for the purposes of "mutual defence and international recognition".

Architecture
Lemebah follows an architectural design that evokes the Central Italian architecture of the Etruscans. Sandstone of the Red and White variety forms the walls of homes, while brick, granite, and spruce wood is used for roofing. Acacia wood, native to the Savannah, is scarcely used.

Religion
Residents of Lemebah worship the Light of Lemebah, a religion build around the Goddess of Lemebah. Lemebah is the goddess of the Savannah, of fertile land and agriculture, healing and light. She is the opposite to Vaaran, the Lemebian Goddess of War, of stone and mining. Despite being her opposite, Vaaran is respected and worshipped in the same respect, as it is common belief of the Lemebian's that "light cannot exist without dark.".
