Parthal

= Parthal City - Sethris =

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. This information has been Given to me by users Krasnoye, BoxBadger, ChilledBlue, Zambie420, and graaagckb

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 them. A large kingdom called Kardivia took notice and let us flee to 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 citizens from Forsaken decided to set up a settlement in a small abandoned house in the middle of a spruce forest, in Sethris. 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. After this, a tax of $10/day was imposed. Annoyed with this, the citizen graaagckb started protesting it and putting up signs. After this, Parthal expanded to across the river on to the river island. Due to the shape of the island, it was named "Boot Island". 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. Many citizens of Parthal converted to Zarallism, and a church was built.

Law enforcement and Military
Parthal had no official police force, or military. During bandit raids, members would sometimes group up to repel the bandits if possible, though most of the time, the citizens of Parthal would just hide in their homes if attacked by bandits. If a citizen was caught engaging in illegal activities, they would be forever exiled, depending on the severity of the crime. Parthal was a very dangerous place, with theft, and occasional gang wars or street fights.

Form of government
Parthal was a dictatorship, ruled by BoxBadger. No elections were held, except for when BoxBadger resigned. Some notable/influential members who occasionally made decisions were: ChilledBlue, and Zambie420.
