Celtenn

Celtenn is a city established on a mountain range. In it’s rather short history, it has witnessed a many misfortunes but the resilient citizens stood strong. This is a planned megapolis which will stretch as far east to the sea. Celtenn is apart of the Aesprium Niedea, in the Duchy of Varmerion (a province of the empire).

History
"'Frosty slopes, shivering breeze, devouring hunger. None has prepared, from birth marching. The only hope - our dreams. Lone was us, none lost. Each had a path to follow, empyrean.'"

Founding
"And thus, Celtenn was born. A site of refuge for those who had no place to call home. A beacon of hope in the unforgiving mountains. A young man stepped up as the leader of this new community, proclaiming that “Everyone under our sky shall have an equal opportunity to bloom”. The name of the man was Oakerd. Standing on the tallest cliff, where the city’s castle will one day rest, he gave the rich soil below, the mighty mountains above, and all the land within his reach a name. One that gives a sense of home, but also might. Peace, yet power. Celtenn."

Early History
"The town expanded rapidly, with first houses appearing mere days after the people arrived. The future was promising. From there, everything was peaceful. Others, who also found themselves lost in the endless cold mountains joined soon. On August 21st 2021, Oakerd welcomed two travelers into the town. They were given a plot of land, and some gear, as it always was with new people. On the morning of August 22nd, the city was in fire. Molten lava was raining from the skies, and half the houses were already turned to ash and dust. Dozens watched as Bob, the town’s guardian and divine being, rushed to the chanting mages. He was no match for them. In his living form, at least. The body of this majestic being fell lifeless to the ground, as a fireball went right through his chest, setting the house behind him ablaze. Hope was lost once again. The people prepared to leave their homes behind, setting out on yet another journey across the vast empty lands. Unexpectedly, the sky turned white. An endless white void sank to the ground, consuming the city entirely within seconds. Before long, everything was tranquil. Birds were chirping, as the townspeople stood in awe, processing what had just happened. Gone was the blood and horror. A silent huff could be heard in the back of the crowd. Bob was back, looking healthier then ever."

Establishment of Freedom of Belief in the Settlement
Estimated to be sometime a few months ago as of February 16, 2022, religious freedom was established in the settlement of Celtenn. Despite the Aesprium Niedea enforcing their belief system on all citizens, one could live in Celtenn without being forced to convert. This however did not come as a result of peaceful dialogue. This came about as a negotiated deal between the Aesperium Niedea and the rebels which included the settlement of Celtenn. The agreed upon deal for remaining apart of the Empire would be complete religious freedom as well as a large deal of autonomy from the central government. This however has not helped the lack of skilled builders to help expand the settlement, which contributes to its slow growth.

Border Sharing with Drasil
An unknown time ago (if anyone knows, please fill it in here) Celtenn had to share it's borders with a neighboring settlement called Drasil which is also apart of the Aesprium Niedea. This is currently an ongoing discussion on a permanent border between these two settlements, it however, has not reached an official agreement and thus this arrangement still persists up until today.
