The Behemoth
The Behemoth is an ancient creature. The existance of the creature was first discovered by some people looking inside of "Mount Behemoth". They found some sand stone with runes carved into them, they quickly brought these out of the mountain and examined them, they found out that once a creature roamed these lands, protecting the people that lived inside the mountain before the Acodonites had settled the area. They eventually would find out that over time this ancient people started to abuse the creature, using it as a weapon to kill enemies and span an empire. Sadly no real records of this empire exists other then the runes but they are very unrelaible. The creatures existance was confirmed when Orleborle passed out, he saw the creature roam around the city, he was alone this day, but said the elephant should be honored, as it is one of the things that he think will protect Acodon and that it deserves justice for what the ancient tribe did to them. Eventually a huge spine was found inside of the mountain, people say that it is the bones of the ancient creature, the people of Acodon likes be believe so. Later this creature would be named "The Behemoth" because of it's size.

Founding
Acodon was settled on 07/24/2021 by the ancient Acodonite tribe, which for many years had been wandering the lands of Rathnir aimlessly. After generations, the chieftain Orleborle II of the tribe, finally found a suitable place to settle, and declared this area rightful Acodonite claims. They named the town "Acodon".

Early History
When Acodon was settled, it started with humble yet ambitious start. The first couple of citizens, namely: Orleborle, TGOMaster, Lucioio and Dani would start with Orleborle establishing small sandstone huts which they could all live in. TGOMaster started to work on farms, and keeping the cities food supply up. Lucioio and Dani started mining for resources, to allow the city to prosper further. In the start, the people of Acodon lived off bread, fish and watermelons using the river to it's full extent. Eventually, the nearby towns would start to take notice of this newly founded town. And trade deals quickly started sprining up, gaining the city a lot of money, and a reputation of the main trading hub in the area. This would also lead to a small un-official conflict, which was only just two skirmishes. They're mainly un-recorded and took place nearly a year ago in the summer of 2021. It was mainly just some small RP battles. The town enjoyed their humble life, trading and just living peacefully, finally having found peace from the constant nomadic lifestyle which they had become used too. Though, this humble and peaceful lifestyle would be interrupted by something which the town had expected and awaited. The king of the Sinatra-Mafia, Wacko, had requested the towns integration. Which they accepted, as to avoid an unnecessary conflict, which they knew they could not win. With that, they were now an integrated part of the Sinatra-Mafia, no longer living the dirty squatter lifes.

The Raids
The people of Acodon has been a target of many bandit raids. This has taken a heavy toll on the economy and the people. Most of the bandit raids have been attempted by weak bandits, meaning Acodon have won some of the raids. Though they have been extorted by stronger bandits. Though this did bring something good the foundation of the "Acodon Militia" the Acodon is a small scale militia, for hire. It was made to make an elite group of soldiers, it has worked to some extent. The statue inside of the town was build to honor the Acodon Militia.

Request for Independence
A couple of months after the town got integrated, the city council had decided that they wanted to break of the Sinatra in a peaceful way, through a peaceful transaction. The Sinatran government was furious after this request was given, Acodon was given a response it was "no". Bonds between Acodon and the government had been completely broken, and the Sinatra got their armies ready. Though nothing more happened after that.

Tegridy
On the 12th of December 2021, the mayor of Acodon met the two players on top of a large mountain in the mesa territories of Ummarnu. The 3 mayors: Frogmedic, Junkybunky and Acodon quickly became good friends. After Orleborle took alot of bites of Junkybunkys taco head, they all agreed that an alliance between Acodon and Tegridy should be established. Tegridy also gave their support to the Acodonian rebels under the Zefranian War of Independence, therefor the two players have (without being told it yet) been granted veteran and hero status in Zefrania. They have both been granted council positions, to show gratitude for their help, and both of them being good at politics.

Governance
On the 20th of December 2021 Acodonian council members decided on drafting a proposal of governance of a specific area and send it to the Sinatran government. They all voted for sending the request, therefor it was sent. After a short back and forth between the government and Acodon, they decided on letting the area that Acodon currently own become a province, though Acodon now has to ask to expand its town. The people celebrated all over the town.

The Acodon Crisis
The Acodon Crisis was a crisis created when Acodon declared independence from Sinatra-Mafia. This sparked into the Zefranian Independence War, which lasted only 30 minutes and caused Zefrania to become independence.

Flooding of the River
After Acodon having been sitting comfortably at the river side, never having experienced any natural difficulties with it, they were more then surprised when one day, the river was flooding over the shores. It put a pretty large amount of houses under water, though it didn't cause major damage, though it did significantly damage the sugar cane and natural life which lives in and close to the river. To make sure this would never happen again, as now they had seen it could happen walls was build in the river shores instead of it being natural sand - the Acodonians considered themselves lucky as the damage hadn't been worse. There would be a minor aftershock with the Eydur Canal going through being tempoarily dried out, as it was one of the main contributors to endangering houses and infrastructures carrying the water straight into the city center, though the water not being able to rise to the levels to flood the canal. The main cause of the flooding was later discovered to be the huge amount of kelp, which had recently started growing and prospering in the waters of the rivers. Most of them would be cut down, and the river would be restored to it's original depth.

Religion
The people of Acodon follows the religion of Lux. After some years of drout the people of Acodon was starving and dehydrated - One day a blinding light was shinning down over the city, it was Lux in her physical form. She had a request for the people of Acodon, she said "Follow my wisdom, pray to me, die for me and kill for my honor, and you shall be lead to greatness." After this the bright light disapeared, and the ground started shaking, water was flowing through the empy river, filling it to the brink, fish sprung around inside of it, and they were blessed with new lifestock. The people of Acodon were stunned and honored, that they had been spoken to by Lux. The Acodonites follow the church and sacrifice to Lux monthly, they see it as their task to honor Lux as she saved their lives and future generations lives.

Town
Acodon consists of one main city then two sub cities. These two sub cities used to be their own cities. But after the Great Zefranian Purge and the lack of mayors it was decided to integrate the cities.


 * Acodon: Main city oldest one
 * Takmandan: The second oldest city in Zefrania, it was integrated due to its mayor's (Lordivoldmordi) betrayal and attempted coup.
 * Fort Behemoth: Fort Behemoth used to be a huge fort never completed, to protect Zefranians south-eastern border with Vanyria.

Founding:
The Acodon Militia in late October 2021. It was founded to protect the town from bandits, establishing a small elite military force. People can rent it, but for the most part the Acodon Militia helps without pay.
