Gunggum

Gunggum is a town in the northwest of Plagos. It was found and settled by Jokarva in late December, and became the first seat of the confederacy of Plagatea right after its founding.

Lore
The northwest of Plagos used to be settled by a race which little is known about- the Quartz people. The Quartz people are called this because they were able to grow trees which would bear quartz, and would thus use this as their building material. Gunggum was founded on one such small ruin made of quartz. One large circular quartz base could be discerned, from which Jokarva created the town hall.

Founding Story
In late November, Jocarvas was a citizen of Junea, Escharien, when he had a run in with the mayor who falsely accused him of killing him and stealing some items. Jocarvas was killed and then fled the city north to Plagos, where he stumbled upon a massive sphere of water floating above a hill top, with a small forest of quartz next to it. He founded Gunggum on December 22.

The Re-Discovery
On February 28th 2021, it was recorded in the Chronicles of Rathnir: "Gunggum is deleted" with no further context given, this was the last mention of Gunggum until March 12th when it was rediscovered by SerfBort_ during a cartographical expedition. Seeking assistance from volunteers to uncover the forgotten capital, curlyfries_64, jossps, and prnghat11 assisted in the endeavor to unearth the city. The project was completed on March 14th 2021 and was subsequently acquired by the nation of Arinovla with the consent of Goshuma the nation who owned it prior.
