Posopolis

Posopolis is the largely abandoned capital of the Republic of Posavaria, founded by mpos on the 17th of October, 2020. The archeological site of Posopolis is known for its unique architectural style of intertwining blackstone and stripped birch log exteriors.

Location
Posopolis is nestled in a valley north of Aezenfjord, in the subcontinent of Sparwood Minor. This valley is also occupied by St. Gibersburg, separating the valley in two. The two towns were both part of Posavaria and often shared resources. After the fall of the republic, Posopolis is now a ghost town next to the city-state of Avertico.

Landmarks
While Posopolis was abandoned while under construction, many landmarks remain.

Posopolis Canal
Constructed by: McThuggin

One of the first projects of the burgeoning city was the Posopolis Canal, which became operational while Posavaria was still a territory under the VIR. The VIR sponsored the canal in the hopes that it would streamline trade from Yimmu-Audal. The canal has two parts: a river that leads from the eastern ocean to Pos Lake, and a manmade river ravine that leads from Pos Lake to a river that leads to the west ocean. The canal effectively crosses the subcontinent of Sparwood Minor.

Posopolis Castle
Constructed by: _GalaxyStar_, Guge The Posopolis Castle is a large fortress nestled in a small gap in the mountains, overlooking the city of Posopolis. The castle is one of the most impressive landmarks still standing in Posopolis after its abandonment. The structure is built in the standard blackstone and birchwood style of classical Posopolis, with two large towers on each hillside, guarding a large domed throne room that was abandoned in a semi-complete state.

Melee HD Temple
Constructed by: SlightlyOffKiltr

The Melee HD Temple seeks to honor Melee HD, and is being constructed by the High Priest of Melee HD, SlightlyOffKiltr. The religion of Melee HD was not endorsed by the state, but many high-ranking officials practiced this religion, including Grand Pos mpos.

Former Shrine to the Immortal Dirt
One of the lakeside houses at Posopolis is considered a holy location to the Cult of the Immortal Dirt.

Pyramid
Near Posopolis castle is a mysterious cobblestone pyramid that is the subject of considerable archeological debate. Some suggest it is simply a dumping ground for mining waste, while others think the site has spiritual significance.

Nether Forest
Across the canal from Posopolis is a rare overworld outcrop of Nether forest.

Posopolis Mines
Two enormous soul fires light the entrance to the Posopolis mines, possibly the largest abandoned strip mine in Sparwood Minor.
