Gehenazar

The Syndicated City of Gehenna is a registered city in the USSE in the state of Atoxa. Formerly known as Kestchya. Gehenna was founded in the Year 135 (March 19th, 2022) on the ruins of Kestchya. South of Gehenna is the quarantine zone of the Neihernspried Epidemic, North is the City of Swindongrad, to the east the Island of Amicitia, and the west is the City of Vostroya. Gehenna is known for being a union run town, for its devotion to Tégo'O of Oxintoism, and its gothic architecture and sweeping mansions.

Kestchyan Times (58-143)
Before the modern Gehenna existed Kestchya, a penal colony, existed on the valley floor.. It was originally founded in the year 58 (June 6th 2021) by a player named kora789. That penal colony existed there previous to the Neihernspried spore cluster that dropped onto the mountain after its original home in Adamantem was burned. A quarantine zone was set up around the mountain by the People's Army and a research facility was built to research the fungus. The research facility was later abandon for unknown reasons. Most probable cause is that the Neihern flower that sprouted caused the fungus to spread into the facility itself. Soon there after the Kestchya penal colony was abandon as well since its founder kora789 left.

Founding (135-144)
Gehenna was founded in Year 135 (March 19th 2022) after a wave of migrants from another land came to settle onto the ruins of Kestchya. Permission was given from the willing USSE government and the owner of the unused land for the migrants to settle. These migrants would come to call the new city Gehenna after the elder Atoxan who guided them who tragically died after succumbing to illness. Gehenna was the elder among the group and gave them wisdom of the valley so they would thrive here. They told them of a legend of Zaloralon who died on the mountain top suddenly and whose scream scared off the evil spirits of the winter forest to protect the devotees of Tégo'O. So the city would remake the old Oxinto Temple into a Temple to Tégo'O. The City would use its new U.S.S.E resources and with the Gehenna’s religious motivation to quickly build up a moderately dense urban core to expand into the surrounding snowy forest, called by the Gehennans as the Valley of Zaloralon.

Growth (145-Present)
Before then there was a slight dip in population most likely due to many of the originals Elders of the first wave dying off. The population was rapid enough to cause Gehenna to lose National Assembly representation briefly before getting it back. While the town was initial closed to outsiders the decline in population prompted the town quickly recruit new citizens from outside of the town. Over time population growth rebounded.

In 145 (April 27th 2022) it was discovered that the food supply of Gehenna has been contaminated with the Neihernspried fungus. Not only contaminated but gone unnoticed at least three years as reported by Mayor Magnolia Sweete in a public message sent out to the citizens. It seems however that the fungus, which supposedly has infected the whole town, doesn't have any adverse effects, instead seems to benefiting the town by allowing the wheat to grow better in the grow and the sheep to give red wool. During the time of the discovery it wasn't entirely known the full extent or effects would have on Gehenna and its population.
