Paludis

Palidus can be found on the northern peninsula of Nieden on the marshy coast of the Plagos-Nieden Sea (currently unnamed). It is a small city-state with few residents, but a rich history. Palidus is a part of the Silver Coalition which consists of Palidus itself, the Sand Republic, Sovdal, Icarus, Najerajad, and other nations [WIP].

City History
Palidus was officially founded on October 27th, 2020 late into the night, but the first settlements were built on October 26th which marks its unofficial founding.

Palidian Culture
Being a town based in a marsh, Palidus' culture has been heavily influenced by such. The general architecture has strong foundations and a mix of darker woods for the upper levels. Moss and vines can commonly be found growing on these foundations and on the wooden tops. This architecture is both a reflection of the Palidian environment, but also its peoples. Palidian people are a warm welcoming community which can be seen through the cozy wooden adobes built on top of the strong stone foundations. Alcohol is a very important staple of the town and is important for bonding with others. The Palidian flag (seen on right) is representative of a few things important to Palidians. The green represents the town's connection to its environment, the surrounding swamp. The blue represents the importance of the harbor and trade to and from Palidus. Yellow represents a bright future of prosperity and hope for the small town. Black represents the dedication of each and every resident to making Palidus the best town it can be and the bravery it has taken to overcome the challenges of living in such a harsh environment. Finally, the white in the center represents the unity of each aspect of the town through its founding and expansion. These ideas are all very important to how each Palidian handles themselves and should be kept in mind when visiting or touring the small town.

Palidian Geography
The geography of Palidus is an interesting topic. Being one of, if not the only, town in a marshy environment, it is in a unique situation. As mentioned previously, the buildings of the town need to be made in a way that stops them from sinking into the swamp. The harbor is very shallow and as such, larger ships cannot approach the city directly. The imports, exports, immigration, and emigration of Palidus all go either by land or from a dingy to a larger ship in the nearby deeper waters. This access to the sea is vital to Palidus' very existence as it connects the town to other areas in the Plagos-Nieden Sea (currently unnamed) such as Icarus and Najerajad.

Government
Palidus does not have a formal government at the moment. It is ruled by a triumvirate of its founders, Spyseand6, Xandros87, and Peanutmaximus.
