Dahkmir

Dahkmir
Dahkmir is a city built completely within a large mountain in Nova Azcoria. It is an ancient city founded by the Batu within the Batu Khaganate, founded by Empress Maria, first leader of Batu. It is a great tourist attraction as well as a proud city due to its uniqueness and impressiveness in both scale and detail. Dahkmir's official and dominant religion is Batu Shamanism.

Lore
The Batu Rickerstein in the area fled into the mountain to avoid Aput’s snow storm which were rendering central Batu uninhabitable at the time, as well ass the Mirza wars occurring, which were frowned upon by the Rickerstein. Sources differ as to why Aput caused much chaos during this time, but Shamans hint at the possibility of a large battle between her and an enemy, unrelated to the Mirza wars. Luckily for the Batu who migrated into tunnels in the mountain, it proved to be very beneficial. The resources available and the defence acquired led the citizens to flourish. It also put them closer to the center of the world, making their connection to the spirit world stronger, letting them establish themselves as a Mirza and adopting Chet'a as their patron spirit. Eventually, Chatagai persuades them to join him and the rest of the Mirzas, unifying Batu. Chatagai was later said to have frozen in the river that cuts through Dahkmir, promising to return when Batu would need him.

Wardlick's Rule
Wardlick Rickerstein was the first to establish rule in Dahkmir, which happened after the settlement. Almost nothing is known about his rule as Dahkmir's citizens were primarly focused on surviving, not writing.

Maria's Rule
Under the second owner of Dahkmir and the Empress of Batu, a beacon was used to help the settlers excavate large amounts of stone, the most that ever was removed from the mountain. From now on excavation would be prevalent but not nearly to the degree that happened during this era. Unfortunately two bouts of bad luck hit the residents of Dahkmir as the beacon was lost, and Maria died. Ownership was passed to Holiday.

Holiday's Rule
Under Holiday the city's population slowly decreased until the streets and tunnels of Dahkmir seemed empty. Development comes to a halt, until the architect Caramel settles here due to his home, Solus, undergo a similar stagnation in population. This is when most of the construction of buildings within the cavern began. While industry is led by Caramel, Holiday focuses on religious development in the city, and attempts to become a Shaman under Jigar Shaman Carado Akitut.

Caramel's Rule
Population began booming under Caramel, and further building projects went underway, including a shrine to Chet'a, watchtowers outside of the mountain and more accomodations. Even more building projects are currently underway.
