Arrakis

= Arrakis (WIP) = The Capital city of the Urakan province of the Southernlands. A great desert oasis based upon the border with the Imperial territory of Nexus, the Kingdom of Eleanor and Wolfingrad.

The Past.
The city of Arrakis was once known as the City of Gold, unmatched splendor shining throughout the desert, all other cities near and around unable to match. However throughout it's many years the prosperity it once ran upon began to fade as more cities began to grow, it's fortunes turning upon the once great city.

Slowly the city fell in disarray, until nothing but a husk remained, deteriorated and plundered of it's treasures, left as ruins and a mere ghost upon history.

Rediscovery.
On the nearby territory of Nexus bordering the Southernlands laid a small town serving as the trade post of a wealthy local merchant, a woman by the name of Daniëlle. Due to the lack of natural resources that she could take advantage of in the area par for the plentyful amount of wood, thus she had to import great quantities of resources such as stone, glass and various others. One of the merchants that sold these goods was an underfoot outcast by the name of Bentu, attracted by the great prices that the merchant was willing to offer. Once he delivered his goods he decided to take a worn down path around the desert which he thought would have been a safer journey when he stumbled upon the ruins of the City of Arrakis.

Deciding to return to the wealthy merchant, Bentu relayed the information which caught the woman's attention. Travelling to the city together Daniëlle was immediatly intent on turning this city to it's former splendor.

Construction and landmarks.
Upon it's rediscovery the ancient city of Arrakis was a mere shadow of it's former self, rubble upon a desert plain.
