Peiklaten

Peiklaten (Halēnawega: ꦥꦼꦆꦏꦭꦠ꧀) is the capital, and largest city in the Mejakepai and the Queendom of Nevurusari. The city is located on the eastern portion of the Bay of Talakbang, and is located on the eastern portion of the island of Kada. Its port, Port Javahaya is the largest port in the country, controlling much of the commerce that comes into the island of Kada, and serves as an important hub for internal and external trade as well as diplomacy.

Etymology
Peiklaten derives from the word, "Peikala" which is a type of lemon that exists on Kada. Sujatasa III's writings and concepts of the capital that would become Peiklaten, described the meaning of the word in more detail, which throws that it actually means "Imperial Meeting Grounds". It's actually quite unclear what word it derives from.

Early History
Port Javahaya was originally founded by the Nevurusari in 815 BKS, due to its strategic position. The port was in a portion of Kada that was unusually flat, and its position in the eastern portion of the island hid it away from the chaos of the Kadan Dark Ages.

The port grew out from its original size, but eventually had to halt its growth. The Kadan Unification Wars caused cities to often be placed under siege, so the port had to erect a set of walls to protect itself. Nonetheless, people continued to settle outside the city's walls.

Modern Era
During the reign of Sujatasa III, she began planning an expansion of Port Javahaya, naming the new city Peiklaten. Unfortunately, she was assassinated before construction could begin. Her plans were inherited by her successor, Sujatasa IV, who eventually founded the city proper in 15 BKS.

Since its founding, Peiklaten has been the largest city on Kada. Due to its prominence as the trade capital of the region, it has taken in the brunt of foreign influence and immigration onto the island. It serves as a melting pot of cultures, and as a symbol of Mejakepai's ties to tradition as well as will to progress.
