Castellum

"'Spaghetti' -Wize""'Don't you dare use spr*ce' -Lizzie"

Founding
Castellum had been founded by Mattthebeast551 and Wize_Nifty in the somewhat earlier days of Aristios, but only one town had been made and prospered to some degree: Pompaelo (which was called Pompealo at the time). One of the founders, Mattthebeast551, had been banned so Wize had to govern the province himself, which proved to be moderately difficult. Wize had gathered several people, including Mr. Spook, InverseAtom, and Lizzie, and Pompaelo truly began flourishing. The theme was medieval, and houses were made of spruce and stonebrick, which had an effect on Pompaelo's future mayor. Lizzie being a relatively new player, just built houses, Inverse helped out at the capital, etc. Eventually, many people had changed towns or became extremely inactive which led to Pompaelo being a ghost town for several months.

Resurrection
After a long period of inactivity, Wize_Nifty became determined to revive his town. Lizzie was, if not the only, one of the few who had discussed Pompaelo and Aristii affairs concerning her belongings that were left in the ghost town with Wize recently. Eventually, Wize offered Lizzie the position of governor of Castellum, which she accepted.

The first thing she did was to change the name of the ghost town, from Pompealo to Pompaelo, she also tore down the entire town. What used to be a medieval ghost town became bare land. Eventually, she created her first establishment, (which got torn down eventually because it was kind of hideous) town hall. At some point, she hired a builder to build homes (using a sandstone and oak theme, quite different than the original look of Pompaelo), his name was Logui. He was part of another nation but became closely tied to Aristios after they met. The first few players consisted of BlazingTRS, Logui113, SoupError, _d0t_, Charlie_Cleric, Myndello, Psydos, and a few more. Most of them are still with us today.

Development of Other Towns
Near the time of the Aristii Coup (around october 31st), Lizzie met **Z, the founder of Galleta. He needed money and resources for his town that he had created, right here in Castellum. The town had amazing architecture, it baffled Lizzie, so she accepted.

Eventually, another person had settled in Castellum, Leltch, creating her own town, Torrington (which is now called Brimmingham, following the Gearton-Torrington merge). She too was starting something wonderful. Leltch also had great plans and worked extremely hard, and she eventually became minister of Infrastructure of Aristios.

After Torrington's creation, Revi was adamant about creating a town, one that had striking architecture but lacked in population, which led to the Gearton-Torrington merge, resulting in Brimmingham.

Before Torrington and Gearton's creation, two rathnirians hoping to create their very own nation within Aristios settled near Pompaelo. Eventually, one of their creators, Dracon, settled elsewhere and got land legally, and Mungo created his own town elsewhere in Castellum, Isolarium, after Gearton and Torrington's creation.

Another town near Isolarium had been created, Yaika, by a settler named Winteke.

Lizzie's Departure
After making Castellum one of the most active and prosperous provinces of Aristios, she left Stoneworks as a whole, which led to many changes as she occupied three governmental titles. Dot became mayor of Pompaelo, considering she built most of the town, Logui became minister of Finance and Soup became province governor. Soup and Dot were very much present before the Aristii coup and were senators who helped Lizzie out with her election business.

Structure
The Castellum governor is the main decision maker in the province, however the senate can veto the decisions if the majority wishes to do so. The senate is voted in during Provincial elections held by the governor.

Folklore
Ancient’s advice, fear the night, Spirits will wander as daylight dies... Settlers die left and right, falling without a fight... As daybreak come settlers prepare, they shall never despair Nightfall's, settlers fight, defending their home till it becomes light... The settlers survive, establishing the foundation of Castellum the farming capital of The Grand Empire Of Aristios.
