General Information
Parthal City is a town of the nation Sethris Founded on July 18 2021. Over the days this town has gathered a large history and small reputation among the community of Eldham. Most information has been given to by users Krasnoye, BoxBadger, ChilledBlue, Zambie420(now known as EverydayHuman), and graaagckb. Many other people have contributed though

Beginning
On July 14 2021 a small town in Simulami was founded called Forsaken. It had grown very fast and had a plan to expand south into a valley. But before it could do, the government had found them, and sent raiding parties to find get them out of their empire. A large kingdom called Kardivia took notice and let them inhabit their new colony on the other side of the world. Before long, the immigrants from Forsaken saw that they were a corrupt society, who tried to strip people of their freedom. Before long, they fled and found another town. The town was small and had plenty of infrastructure, but the taxes were too high so they decided to leave. After exploring their surroundings, the remaining citizens from Forsaken decided to set up a settlement in a small abandoned house in the middle of a spruce forest, in Sethris just south of the main capital. They named their new home Parthal.

Early Growth
The moment they had arrived, they expanded around the town hall as repairs were made, and farms where set up. The first farm is called "The Potato Stack" due to it's many stacked layers. This genius invention was thought up by Zambie420. After a few days, they had constructed 5 buildings. In the next 5 days, the town grew fast adding 16 new inhabitants, 12 houses, animal farms and another potato stack that was taken down June 23 2021 due to copyright against the original potato stack. Unknown to the rest of the town 1 player named TheCheeseWizard3 had stolen tens of thousands worth of diamonds iron and gold from the most recent town they fled from due to taxes. He was very quickly exiled from the town never to be heard of again.

Age of Prosperity
A few days after TheCheeseWizard3's heist, a priest names Krasnoye walked into town, and decided to join bringing their numbers up to 18. Shortly after, there was an economic boom. The acquisition of new resources, uncommon in the area, attracted a lot of attention from Eldham, bringing in more riches, and new permanent citizens. This fueled the construction of new infrastructure. New buildings were constructed, including the church of Zarallism, the Brewer's Bar, and the Cheese Shack. Soon after this, a tax of $10/day was imposed. Annoyed with this, some citizens started protesting it and putting up signs. Parthal mostly ignored the protest due to most of the citizens agree with the tax, and soon began to expand across the river on to the Boot Island, with the name being given to it due to it's boot shape. Over the next few weeks more people started joining before the worst happened tight at the peak of the town's power.

The Leadership Crisis
Parthal had great ambitions, they wanted to grow to the largest town in Sethris, with plans of more autonomy, But disaster struck when the leader, BoxBadger had announced his resignation, without appointing a new leader. The depart of BoxBadger had created what some nicknamed the great Parthal power gap. One of the obvious choices for leadership was ChilledBlue, who was one of the founding members, but he had announced that he had no intention of becoming mayor. With close to 40 citizens, fears for the future of the town started to spread with the depart of their great leader. The citizens attempted to elect a new mayor with a snap election, but it was unsuccessful because of the inexperience of the candidates. Parthal was in chaos. During this time of crisis many citizens reported seeing 2 bright lights ascending above the church. It was said that on the day that Parthal would fall, the spirits of Huatzal and Zarall would be seen leaving the town. One of the founding members, graaagckb, led an open riot in the streets, protesting the resignation of BoxBager, which he thought was unjust to the citizens of Parthal. For this, graaagckb was exiled. Due to failure to elect a new leader, and many of the members leaving, BoxBadger had officially disbanded Parthal. What stands on the ruins is now the town of Eondia.

Religion
After more members joining Parthal, a mysterious priest showed up, called Krasnoye. He had come to preach the religion of Zarallism, which worshipped the gods of Huatzal and Zarall. The majority of the citizens converted to Zarallism, and a church was built.

Law enforcement and Military
Parthal had no official police force, or military, or law. If something was threatening Parthal, willing citizens would usually band together to combat it. If someone commits a crime, the most popular crime in Parthal was theft, and the most common punishment was banishment. Parthal was a very high crime town but nobody really cared about the crime unless it was theft or something else that setbacks progress or something that creates a threat. There were very frequent street fights/gang wars but they were relatively harmless

Form of government
Parthal was a dictatorship/despotism, ruled by BoxBadger, though never official. No elections were held, except for when BoxBadger resigned. Some notable/influential members who occasionally made decisions were: ChilledBlue, and Zambie420.

Workers
most of the citizens within the town contributed to some part of the economy, mainly through mining or farming. Some citizens sold other products such as alcohol, which was fairly popular among the town, and cheeses, which where starting to grow popular before the town disbanded

Housing
Housing was mostly made by individual players, however did require some permission to build housing within more developed areas. Only 1 "major" housing project, that being part of the brewery, however was incompleted

Architecture
Many architecture projects where planned before Parthal disbanded. The 5 main building projects where,


 * 1) A new townhall for the mayor to live in, which would have included some decoration ponds with cattails, lily pads, and flower around said ponds
 * 2) A Larger church to hold a larger capacity of people, it would have included large farms along the sides, animal pens, storage, a small vault, and where even planning on building another brewer's bar within the church, allowing it to run almost self sufficiently. It was never built within Parthal and was moved to a new town named Kylorne. The church still stands today however is currently unpreserved and abandoned
 * 3) Walls, designed by Zambie420, where planned to surround the old town.
 * 4) Roads where planned on being improved, including road names, and connecting less developed sides of the town
 * 5) A larger brewery was planned on being built, with 4 apartments planned on being built on top. the main body was completed however was never fully completed
