Karannatia

Karannatia was founded by Bel Amir around 1666 (mid-january) in Aesperium Niedea. The modern history of the place is at first centered around the character of Bel Amir, but the beauty of the place attracted many citizens and the city is currently experiencing an unprecedented growth.

Etymology
Karannatia is formed with the old asteri words of guard (Kar), watch (Annat) and land (-ia) and means 'watchman's place'. The use of an old version of asteri is due to the fact that Bel Amir grew up far from the core regions of the escharian states.

Foundation
Bel Amir quit Theionikos few after the Aerei (to ascend in asteri), a nocturnal dream which happenned the day of the formation of Astyllea (january 9th 2022). During this dream, Bel Amir believes that emperor Valerian told him to contribute to the defence of the Soleannen faith and prepare his return. During that time, the Soleannen states were split in two rival countries and the loyalists of Asperium Niedea were recovering from a succession of setbacks. Bel Amir swore that he would create a fort that would be the southernmost soleannen bastion of the empire, but also a home for all the persecuted Soleannen. He then crossed the desert of Theionikos and settled at the summit of a hill dominating a valley of the Orranderlost. This place was surrounded by several ruins : a farm at west, a corrupted area at east and a fortified city at south.

First years
Bel Amir soon met with Ikaritor (Inquisitor) Tobbrath when he was scouting through Aesperium Niedea. The inquisitor cordially offered him to formally join Aesperium Niedea, an offer Bel Amir accepted with joy. However, just after the walls were erected he met with Oenkaboenka, an emissary from a neigbouring squatting town called Lithranor. Oeankaboenka was looking forward expanding the realms of Lithranor to the ruins south of Karannatia, colling the place 'Mikenes'. He thus threatenned Bel Amir to join his group, telling him that they were more than 70 and that Karannatia 'won"t stand a chance'. Hopefully, the squatters have been driven away by Aesperium Niedea soon after. After these events Bel Amir focused on cleaning the area, which slew down the development of the settlement.

Gaining its place in the Imperium
Once the Orrenderlost was cleaned, Bel Amir built the tower of Kommares (coming water in asteri) and the gardens of the Emperor. The reputation of the town grew as the beauty of its patio and council hall attracted travelers. The area of influence of Karannatia eventually became be the whole western part of the Soleannen Imperium, which had just founded. The departure of Rust from the leadership of the duchy of Varmerion left a political void, and Bel Amir was appointed Kesevor by the Emperor in 1673 ASC, just 7 years after his arrival. The rapid ascension of its leader, his proactive squatter hunt and the beauty of Karannatia eventually attracted new players : Choubouch (assistant TO the Senator), Fox and Sargent Homer. All of them eventually proved to be skilled workers. Since their arrival, Karannatia grew so much that is it now a buzzling town.
