Zoquiyo

Zoquiyo is the northernmost region of the Ummarnu Continent. It's known for it's beautiful beaches, it's white sandy deserts, and Savannah Mountains. As of January 4th, 2021, Huitca extended it's claims to encompass the entirety of the Zoquiyo Region.

Currently, the only settlement in Zoquiyo is the tropical city of Farafin, owned by Toronto Dougwald, but 3 more settlements known as Zokyoto, Port Piramito, and Banex City are planned to be built in the coming months.

Zoquiyo History
For thousands of years, Zoquiyo was home to a tribe who's name is lost to time. It's nickname, however, is the Bradecblight Civilization, named after their capital, which was believed to be in the modern-day Paletta Desert. The capital's name of "Bradecblight", is believed to mean "Hilly Farms", possibly referring to the fact that the Paletta Desert used to be a hilly plains biome at some point in the past.

After roughly 2000 Years, the Bradecblight Civilization collapsed. No one knows why yet, but Toronto, with help from the Zoquiyo Excavation Company (ZEC), believes they could have collapsed with the desertification of Paletta. Another theory is that they are the ancient relatives to the Huitca People before they were led to Cuicilola by Tlahatepa, but that is not proven.

For the next few hundred years, the Zoquiyo lands were completely abandoned. At the beginning of the Viper War, a path was created between Ardat and modern-day Zoquiyo to ensure the safety of travelers throughout the region. Eventually towards the end of the war, the road was abandoned as life returned to normal across Ummarnu.

Huitca expanded their claims into Ummarnu and they claimed north Zoquiyo. The area would later be surveyed, but remained untouched. After Rex Fernand's Re-birth as Toronto Dougwald, he recieved a vision from Cualitzin to settle on the Ummarnu coast. After preparing, he set out and founded the city of Cualitz in Ummarnu, as well as some partial ancient Bradecblightan hieroglyphic inscribings, which were able to be partially translated in the following weeks. Cualitz was later renamed to Farafin, after what is believed to be the Bradecblightan word for ocean. Cualitzin, despite the name change, remains the Patron Goddess of Farafin.

Toronto Dougwald, after staying in Farafin for just one week, began to notice the faint lines of the Road that was used during the Viper War. He named this road the Road of Isolation, and began repairing parts of it. The road now goes all the way from Farafin to the edge of the Paletta Desert.

Farafin grows as a settlement!

On January 2nd 2021, Toronto, while digging a staircase that leads up Mt. Yaultik (The large hill next to the Village of Farafin), accidently stumbled upon a cave. While investigating the caves interior, he found some hieroglyphs in what is now known as the ancient language of the Bradecblight Civilization, or Bradecblightan. They lived in Paletta, but used Yaultik Mountain as a holy place, according to the hieroglyphs. Not much is known about the Bradecblight people, but more information will be revealed as ZEC continues their excavation work.

On January 4th, after the secession of Yama Inari from the Federation, Huitca extended it's claims to control all of the Region of Zoquiyo in Ummarnu.
