Thanutabad

Overview
Thanutabad is a built-up town located within the Simulami Empire. It is known as "the town a furnace house built" due to the town being founded in a pre-existing furnace house. The town follows the religion known as "Abyssism", with the Cult of the Abyss being found within Thanutabad. Thanutabad was founded by its current ruler, TheManAndPlan47, along with Fl1pstre, GNIGHTGURL, and MrBank. The main attractions within Thanutabad are the Town Hall, the Nut n' Bush Inn, the Turtle Sanctuary, the furnace house and the Temple of Abyssism.

Locations
The landmarks of Thanutabad consist of:

The Thanutabad Town Hall
The Town Hall is the heart of the town. The Town Hall is used for conferences, public speeches, meetings, and general planning amongst the Thanutabad leaders. On top of the Town Hall's main spire flies the head of our most esteemed citizen, Thanut (mink123) whose head reminds us everyday the values of Thanutabad (urine, fecal matter, reproductive fluids, tears, and blood). That's Thanuts.

Thanutabad Blacksmith
The Thanutabad Blacksmith is used for the creation of armor, the smelting of ore, and the deletion of any unneeded items.

The Thanutabad Alchemist
The Thanutabad Alchemist is used for brewing potions. Notably, the Alchemist contains the thinking room, where the great ideals and ethics of Thanutabad are pondered upon. Many of Thanutabad's greatest mind's have sat here. On top of the spire of the alchemist lies the head of the Traitor, Sadiruku as a constant reminder not to trifle with Nutizens.

The Nut n' bush Inn
The Nut n' bush Inn is the recreational centre of Thanutabad. It serves the multirole function of being the town's only restaurant, bar, hotel, kitchen, distillery, and cheese manufacturer. It also houses the relocated sleeping chamber after the crafting table house was removed.

The Turtle Sanctuary
This location is considered one of Thanutabad's most culturally valuable locations. Due to an excess of turtle eggs, this location is planned to be expanded.

The Barnhouse
Thanutabad's Barnhouse contains the entire town's food stocks and farm animals. It is located adjacent to the town's various farms.

The Grand Library of Thanutabad
Thanutabad's Grand Library is the sole repository for all historical, religious and recreational literature acquired by Thanutabad's citizens. It is also the location of the town's only enchanting table.

The Furnace House
The Furnace House is Thanutabad's oldest structure and previous town hall. It is the sole reason for the founding of the town being in the location that it is and is therefore considered a protected heritage site. It is literally a small rectangular house made of furnaces. It is also the only structure within Thanutabad that predates the city itself.

The Temple of Abyssism
The primary religious building of Thanutabad's Cult of Abbyssism, a branch of Abyss Mysticism. The temple was constructed around the severed hand of an elderly being originating from a previous world.

The Hanged Forest
The Hanged Forest encompasses nearly the entirety of Thanutabad's eastern border. The forest initially consisted of oak and birch but now has significant amounts of acacia, dark oak, spruce and jungle trees growing within it. The Hanged forest contains the only path leading into Thanutabad from the east. The forest got it name from the numerous amount of hanged players heads that reside on the path leading into Thanutabad, a warning to any that may want to cause harm to the city. The forest is supposedly haunted by supernatural creatures that hunt at the edge of the path's treeline, dragging victims into the forest to take their heads and place them on the path. This is the apparent cause blamed for the string of disappearances that have occurred surrounding the city. Thanutabad's government denies these rumours and ensures that the eastern path is completely safe.

Early History and Founding
Initially, Thanutabad was planned to be founded within the abandoned city of Galitz (prior to its resettlement). However, the area was considered overdeveloped and over-mined, and therefore the town was instead founded within the nearby curiosity of the furnace house. During this early period, Thanutabad would be raided while its inhabitants were offline. losing the entirety of its diamonds, gold, and iron supply.

Despite this, the town would expand out from the furnace house, with the first new structures being the crafting table house, "Sleeping Chamber" and the chest house. Soon after this, the player Mink123 (AKA Thanut, the person the town was named after) would join, building the door tower and the now removed door house. This would be his sole contribution to the town.

Along with Mink123, the player KNACIG would also join and build the traitor tree, a tree of player heads within the town. Ironically, the tree consisted of heads of unknown players whose angel-chests KNACIG happened to come across as Thanutabad did not have any traitorous members yet.

The Traitor
After the arrival of KNACIG and Mink123, a new player named Sadiruku would be invited to Thanutabad. Although there weren't initially any issues, Sadiruku would start repeatedly killing and looting players within Thanutabad. He was hunted down and banished after he stole diamonds and then attempted to ransom them back to TheManAndPlan47. His head remains on the top of the alchemy building as a reminder, also it just looks funny.

The Escharian Crisis
As Thanutabad expanded north, it would come into contact with the nation of Escharia. Relations were initially warm between the developing Thanutabad and Escharia, with TheManAndPlan47 agreeing to the proposal by FaBiolUs08 to incorporate Thanutabad into Escharia. Despite this agreement, the citizens of Thanutabad would be extremely resistant toward entering Escharia and would refuse to sign up to become official citizens of Escharia. Despite TheManAndPlan47 becoming a citizen and the reassurance that the non-compliant citizens wouldn't be a threat, FaBoilUs08 would threaten war against Thanutabad, with a battle being planned for the fate of the town. It would be the intervention of Valendaesu, the leader of the neighboring Galitz, that would end the potential conflict. Thanutabad would remain internally independent, with only TheManAndPlan47 required to be a citizen and religiously convert to Soleannen. The main condition on the part of TheManAndPlan47 would be that if any actions were performed against Escharia by Thanutabad citizens, TheManAndPlan47 would be held directly responsible.

The Great Schism
After a deal between Escharia and the new country of Gertonia, the lands of Thanutabad and Galitz were sold to Gertonia for 200k without the consent of either city. Unhappy with the new obligations and taxes placed on them by Gertonia, Galitz and Thanutabad broke away to form The Kingdom Of Curio, an independent state from both Gertonia and Escharia.

Gertonian Reintegration
Soon after Galitz and Thanutabad separated from Gertonia, communications with Kaiser Jeremy (Gertonia's Leader) would be established. During these talks, it was revealed that the excessive taxes, diamond donations and other obligations were never meant to apply to the region of Curio. These conditions were instead simply outdated rules intended to ensure that players in their major cities were remaining active. After this was resolved, both Galitz and Thanutabad joined Gertonia willingly.

Thanutabad Sewer Maintenance Report 9/3/22
Located outside sewer level 3. Page was significantly worn but lacks any visible tearing, likely dropped by accident during routine inspection. It's the last known document written by the previous sewer maintenance officer before their disappearance.

Current Status of all sewer levels:

Level 1: All systems operating normally. No signs of structural decay but partial flora overgrowth from level two will require weeding before it becomes a problem.

Level 2: All systems still functional, although overwhelmed by invasive flora. Someone busted a hole in the wall straight into a spore cave. The entire level is overgrown with vines and mold. Breathing equipment required for exterminators to filter out mold spores.

Officer notes: I understand that we're underfunded, but why the hell wasn't I told about this. This is gonna take the entire maintenance budget to get clean. We can't afford more mistakes like this, next time tell me before things get out of hand.

Level 3: Systems only partially functional. Strange seismic activity originating from level three. Half of the level is completely collapsed and nonfunctional. Only one filter is functional, the other is being jammed by something we haven't identified yet. Currently trying to get maintenance teams to unclog the blockage.

Officer notes: I've tried everything to get my men down there. Doubling pay, paid holidays, benefits, nothing works. They keep complaining about something slithering behind the concrete and strange guttural groans originating from the deepest sections of the level. Some even claim to have seen something burst its way through the wall. Morale has gotten so bad I'm going to have conduct the inspection on my own.

Level 4: All systems operating normally. Minimal signs of structural damage.

Level 5: Systems only partially functional. Seismic activity from level three collapsed half of level four.

Officer notes: Stuff like this is why we need more funding. These old sections of the sewer can barely stand on their own, let alone survive an earthquake. Its a miracle it didn't end up like level six.

Level 6: Completely nonfunctional. Seismic activity from level three has caused complete collapse of level six.

Officer notes: Without proper funding we have no hope of removing this much rubble anytime soon. The stagnant sewer water is going to be a breeding ground for disease, maybe better we just keep it sealed.

Level 7: Systems N/A, old Thanutabad catacombs intact.

Officer notes: Of course out of everything, these glorified corridors are intact. No one goes down here anyway, was considering not even putting it in my report.
