Elesgate

Elesgate is a town located in Halond, High Kingdom of Daelyria. It's ruled by Koala Apisamus and is seat of the House Apisamus.

Founding
Elesgate was founded on September 9th, 2021, by Sibyl and 2 other Nelond settlers, in a swamp that already had a tribe living there presumably founded by Potiauara Apisamus, a lot of the tribe members died because of foreing diseases the Nelond Settlers carried with them. When the settlers arrived at the swamp, they started building houses, roads, The Keep, and the wall.

Some time after they stabilished the town, the settlers mysteriously started to disappear, one by one. Until one day, they all went missing, and Elesgate was abandoned by the Settlers, and even by the Halondians, that believed the town was cursed.

Restoration
After some years since Elesgate was abandoned, a Halondian merchant named Koala Apisamus, descendant of Potiauara Apisamus, was sent by the Lord of Halond, Avitus Obseken, with the mission to reclaim Elesgate and to restore it.

Elesgate was reclaimed on February 20th, 2022, and since this day, the town has expanded beyond the walls. Koala worked on the infrastructure of the town and on the roads.

Elegatii Tribe
The first men living on the swamps were a tribe called Elegatii. At the time of the colonization, the tribe had Paneryon Apisamus as their leader (Paneryon was also one of the few tribesmen that survived the foreign disease). The history of the tribe in Helmia dates back to 380 BD, when they migrated to the taiga forests in Kastollia (later on migrating to the swamps of Halond).

Religion
The tribe was polytheistic, worshiping the nature and its elements like the skies (that being the main deity), bees, and many other things. The tribe's religion influenced the settlers religion, Draconism, by introducing the worship of bees.
