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).

History
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".

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.

Devoted Theocracy of Entropa
During the Lunar Crisis, Farafin was named the capital of the Devoted Theocracy of Entropa. During the Entropa's existence, Farafin had been going under big changes like with the new settlement of Lisbo-Lusitan being built. With of the entire peninsula from the Huitcan and Bardonian attack which brought heavily devastation upon the city. This lead the city to be in decline for many years to come. More info on the Entropa wiki.

The Calm Before the Storm
When the Entropa fully fell to Huitca, the former state of Zoquiyo was forced to merge with the territory of Hemnyck into a new state, known as Quia'Jal. Farafin was able to be repaired and built better than before with a new leader, Quiazumoc Dougwald-Tizoc, the grandson of the founder, Tyo. Following the coming months, Regnum, the Capital of Quia'Jal, was showing massive decline in progress. While the Regnum was in decline, as well as the rest of Quia'Jal, a newly formed state northeast of Farafin was thrivining. Quiazumoc saw this, and decided to confront them and have his city of Farafin join. Unknowingly, this event could have sparked the massive growth Centaris into other Huitcan States. This lead to many of the cultures and peoples in old Huitca to be displaced from their native land, most noticeably the Hiarllii, which the Hiarllii inhabited for millennia's prior to the Huitcans arrival.

However trouble began when he clashed with redfirerexs spouse ThyFuto over the town's management. Futos' decisions led to the destruction of many famous buildings and monuments  and allowed the land payments to lapse leading to many residents' belongings being stolen. After many incidents Futo was expelled and the leadership of the town reverted back to rex. After these events rex gave control of the town to his  longtime advisor Duskic

Centaris
Following the fall of Huitca the town was inherited by the new republic of centaris with rex becoming a meiras in the new system. However there was much disagreement between the farafinites and centari due to government and cultural changes. This was also a period of large disagreement between the two most influential members of the city, Dusk now the merias  and Vansh. The two had many disagreements  over how farfain should be run, what should be built ect. Despite this the town saw a era of construction and many buildings were made. However this era would be defined by revolt as Vansh launched several rebellions against centaris culminating in the final revolt the Huitaca Restoration Front  which received much support from local farfinites but was crushed. After this activity in farafin started to decline due to many of its residents being exiled as well as due to a decline in activity across centaris. After this period ended and activity returned new problems began. A new up and coming politician in centaris named Rain joined and began to conflict with the still merias dusk. Rain accused dusk of being inactive and in turn dusk accused rain and the members of the city council that they were simply trying to oust him. After much back and forth dusk left for The  Hiarllii Federation ruled by his old friend redfirerex taking the tomb of entropy with him which was condemned by centaris as cultural theft .
