Renapheus

Renapheus (Lo'Oi: Rénaféos) (Kolsson: Rryna) (Mari: Rédha) often simply called Rena, is a city in the United Socialist States of Eldham. It is the most populous city within the State of Adalor. It was founded as a city named Aimapolis by a player named Killer097gr in the Imperium of Pergamos. Much of the city is known to be inhabited by German speakers.

It is widely known as a site of pilgrimage for Makerists, for the Blessing of the River GONF which happened in the city.

It is widely known for its architecture, inspiring the 'Pergamian' architectural movement in the USSE which can be seen in other cities like Andromeda.

Foundation
The city of Renapheus was first founded sometime around September of 2021 (87~ TE), though the exact date remains unclear. It was at first called Aimapolis and was founded by a player named Killer097, who created the city as the foundation and capital of Pergamos. The city was steadily built up, including a library, meeting hall, city square, city hall, a small temple, in addition to small agrarian farms and housing in the Southern tail-end of the city. The city's production facilities were almost entirely agricultural in nature, with sweet berries and wheat being produced and sometimes exported to other settlements, such as the newly founded Sanguinople and Blood Fort, the latter being today part of Nightmarket.

The Pergamian government would soon be overthrown and a socialist state would be instilled in the Pergamian Revolution, which was sponsored in part by members of the USSE. The People's Republic of Pergamos would briefly thereafter join the USSE as an Autonomous State. Around this time, small settlements like Sentria were also made.

Fall of Pergamos
Eventually, the original Pergamian settlers would almost entirely die out, and settlers from elsewhere in the USSE would move in. Many of these were from both Medtremar and Kramenix. This most notably included individuals like KPX Triscus, who at this point was a former General Secretary of the USSE. Others included Raistlin Serebra, Jorah Necrothar, Ren Serebra, Amazon Alexa, who all made massive contributions to the late period of the Pergamian Autonomous State. Suluzar, at first called Duckia, was founded around this time.

At this point, there was a growing movement to distance the region from the original Pergamian settlers as many of them detested socialism and the USSE. By the Fall of 132 TE, Adalor began to become the common name for the region and the flag was changed.

AmazonAlexa began a massive rebuilding project in Renapheus, and many of the city's elaborate buildings were constructed during this period. Raistlin Serebra became the Governor of Adalor after KPX TRiscus was ousted for attempting a secessionist crisis. The life that has been breathed into Adalor is widely attributed to the USSE.

Location
It is built along the artificial Gonf River and is today considered a holy site. Initially the city was built on an island surrounded by a lake; this changed when the USSE Commission of Development began construction of a canal connecting it to the Ythmyrr Bay and Haxhoit Sea, when the canal was suddenly 'dug out' by a deity and filled with water. Multiple religions and cults claim responsibility for the miracle, and the temple built on the river is considered holy by Oxinto practitioners, Mari Paganists, and Gonfists. While much of the USSE is secular, Renapheus is one of the few exceptions and is the only strongly religious city in the Western section of the country.
