Fransterdam

Fransterdam is located in a savannah in the south-east of the High-Kingdom of Vanyr. It was originally settled by Zefranian squatters, after that Hearthstone took it and then Vanyr bought it from them.

Settlement
The city was founded by Eightwhisper who quickly assured the cities growth and prosperity through clever and adaptive methods of attracting players to his so far, humble town in the middle of the Uldarashi savannahs. The town found its place as the only actual town in that part of Uldarash, the area is notoriously empty and Fransterdam was seen as a beacon of light and civilization for that massive land area.

Controversy
Due to its religious and cultural similarities with Zefrania, and it outright being made up of self-proclaimed Zefranians, the Zefranians attempted to purchase the lands and some others from Uldarash as to avoid border gore. The Uldarashi government declined sparking discontent for them in Zefrania because they were basically neglecting this area, and reaping the rewards from the dedicated people in that area.

Retribution
After the return of Zedis Eydur, Eight Eydur would brief him on the situation. Eight had abandoned Fransterdam and took off to settle a town in Kutaiyara. Eight after Zedis' return would himself return to Fransterdam and it slowly started growing once more.

Zefranian Culture
The town being settled by Zefranians has a culture that mirrors the Zefranian one. They have fierce warriors, which worship Lux to the end.

Architecture
The architecture of Fransterdam is a medieval central European style of architecture. Featuring mainly two story houses, with the lower layer being made up of stone and the upper layer being made out of woolen walls and wood.

Layout
Due to the town being settled by the "Behemoth River" which travels through most of southern Ummarnu it has easy access to clean drinking water. The towns borders currently run by the river. It is surrounded by a valley keeping the town safe, also using this valley to build upon.

Religion
Before Hearthstone took over Fransterdam, Fransterdam's official religion was Lux.
