Hapatmitas

Overview:
The Talawan desert city of Hapatmitas, conquered some 2,000 years ago by Aruna the Conqueror, about 1,800 years before the Audalian Invasion, and remains the most populous as well as fast growing city in Uldarash. Built by Cantheallmighty, Rexstop15, and Wurmbo, currently the city is governed by WhiskeyKnight

Lore:
The original inhabitants of the land where Hapatmitas resides are quite the mystery to modern-day scholars. Despite signs that they did in fact possess written language, extremely little is known about them. They are nameless, cultureless and identityless. What is known about them however is that they were firm worshippers of water; a believe perhaps derived out of the scarcity of water in the deserts of the Hatanimitas Peninsula, or perhaps to their reliance and on the Red River, their cities being entirely situated along this peninsula-spanning river. Interestingly however, it has been rumored, from stories told through oral tradition, that these unknown peoples were actually close relatives of the succubi found in the Eastern Mesa, although scholars have deemed evidence on this matter inconclusive at best.

Aruna the Conqueror:
However about 2,000 years ago these peoples, no matter their cultures, nor names, nor even idenities would matter. For this was when Aruna _____, daughter of the King of Old Talawa, disinherited from the throne and the seat of Lukka by the laws of Old Talawa, turned her eyes, as well as her armies, eastwards towards Hatanimitas. In the past, many Talawan Kings had attempted to subjugate the peninusla, sending vast armies down the coast, only to be beaten back everytime. Aruna however, decided to build a fleet, buying vast sums of lumber from the Ardatian Empire. Once this fleet was build, she sailed across the Gulf of Talawa, choosing to not even arrive on the shores Hatani, but rather straight up the Red River, flinging vast amounts of arrows and sulfur-bombs into the surrounding city. Many thought this would be idiotic move, as it would trap the ships between the sides of the river, however it proved to be quite the opposite. By the end of the day the fleet arrived, the Red River was filled with hundreds of bodies, blown up bridges, shipwrecks and poisonous sulfurs, stewing together into this red liquid, gaining the river it's present day name. It is said that for a decade following the water remained undrinkable, and even present day it is said that the water retains the faintest hint of iron to its taste

Mitasaruna/Religious Debate:
Scholars and Clergymen have long since debated on the matter of Aruna the Conqueror and Mitasaruna, some of the clergy believing her to have been the physical manifestation of Mitasaruna, and other having believed her to have, upon her death, become the goddess Mitasaruna. Controversely, scholars have argued that the very idea of Mitasaruna came from the sea believes of the local inhabitants combined with the fame and infamy created by Aruna's conquests, this idea given weight by their being very few reliable sources pointing too the existence of the goddess prior to the conquest, although there have been some admittedly few.

Culture and Villager population
Shaped by the Red River and the Kush/Rough Sea, the diet of Hapatmitas revolves largely around fish, a potato-like tuber, wheat and sheep products. Fish in the surrounding waters are known to be very large, such as the Red Eel, an eel that grows to sizes of up to 5 meters and the Mitasaruna Paiche, both of which are worshiped. Due to the nature of villager reproduction, which isn't natural and involves idols, effigies and a full stomach, professions that offer a large amount of nutrition and are greatly valued and held in high regard, often holding higher social positions because of it. Speaking of villagers, they make up the vast majority of the population and are much culturally distinct from their rural counterparts, all being able to trace their lineage back to a villager named Hejam, which started living in Hapatmitas around its founding and only died recently. Asharu is slightly mixed with local beliefs but still maintains its dominance over the entire city, with not many believing things outside of it.

Due to Hapatmitas' arid climate, clothing is typically large and flowing. A typical Hapatmitas adornment is the ashkhan, a tall hat with a square at the top. Other ornaments popular are long and round golden earrings usually only worn in adulthood.
