Port Lutum

Port Lutum is a harbor-town in the western part of Ravma region. Is it located in the Hařos desert and has a rich background. The old fortress was created by a squatter king a lot time ago and it was called Babylus. The city is famous for its water canals that makes living there possible and more importantly for its trade. It also host a temple dedicated to Da Barry, a grand castle, a water obelisk and much more.

Early History
The area where Port Lutum lies today was inhabited by Gnirusull for a long time, as is suggested by the archaeological findings. The proximity to the Dragon's Lake made it a perfect source for both water and food. It never developed into a big city during these times but instead the area remained sparsely populated with many small villages around the coast.

The Ancient Gnome Empire, Xáma, arrived in Maddrak and enslaved numerous Gnirusull to serve them. While others hid in forts and safer cities like Nyavashire and Nekoshire, others fled to Rathnir and other continents. However, Maddrak saw some peace following the fall of the Rakhar öl Xáma, with the exception of course of the Gnome hunts. The species who remained on the sub-continent started the process of recreating their civilizations and communities, while also tearing down most of the Gnomish infrastructure that was left behind.

After the Gnomish Empire, this area remained even less populated than before. Although the collapse of Xáma brought prosperity back into the region and the villages started to grow once again.

Babylus
The modern Port Lutum started with Tucimam11 who wished to create his own kingdom. After searching for a short while, Tucimam11 started his Kingdom with the creation of the holy city of Babylus on the Thirteenth of November, 2021. He created the city alongside four other newcomers to Eldham, being CanadianMop, Biggpinggoo, SamyueruBR, and PieBD.

Unbeknownst to him, this claim lied within the Northwestern deserts of the Holy Kingdom of Lutum, making it a squatter city within the borders of Lutum. Three days after its creation, the squatter settlement was discovered by huyyvv, one of the party leaders of Lutum's government, after Tucimam and his citizens went to the neighboring Lutumite cities in an attempt to recruit new citizens. Huyyvv was in the city of Aurumshire when Tucimam11 asked him to join their kingdom. Curious, he informed the Prime Minister of Lutum, Lord Volt, of the potential squatter city within their borders, and went to investigate. Diplomacy was then conducted between Lutum and Babylus, with Huyyvv speaking to Tucimam11 and the citizens of Babylus in person, while Lord Volt spoke with Tucimam11 over discord.

When the lutumites realized that negotiations are impossible, they attacked and sacked the city, in the summer of 104 TE. The defeated Tucimam11 was executed for its crimes by the king himself.

Following the defeat of Tucimam and the conquering of Babylus, a lutumite settlement was created there with the guidance of Hywell. He envisioned a big harbor and a prosperous city where the desert was. This settlement became an important trading city for The Kingdom due to its vital location. All the sand mined from the deserts of Lutum was transported there to be exported. The money gained from the sand trade was later used to buy other goods which Lutum lacked. Over time lutumites started calling this city, The Port or The Port of Lutum, which later became the official name.

Integration of Sandlands
Sandlands was a settelment created a long time ago. It served as a cactus farm for the lutumites, which helped them gain xp faster by smelting it. The entire place was made up of multiple cactus farms, a chicken farm and a grand water obelisk. After a long time of inactivity, the claim was inherented by Blue Arbitor who gave it to Deeps20. He decided to incorporate it into his town Port Lutum, because of their proximity. This area quiclky became the industrial district of Port Lutum.

People
Port Lutum hosts Catfolk(or Gnirusull), Gnomes and Humans as the rest of Lutum. The catfolk are a majority because they were driven at the edges of Maddrak during the gnomes colonization. Nowadays all races live peacefully together despite the horrible past of their ancestors.

Language
Gnirusull speak 'Ny'owo,' also refered to as 'Catspeak Proper.' The language is the predominant one in the city since Gnirusull are the majority. It is also the language of the nobility and city administrators, being used in all the official documents and street signs.

Humans and Gnomes have their languages that they speak at home or with others of their race, Traveler's Tongue and Maddrakkian, respectively. However everyone in the city speaks Ny'owo, which is also the lingua franca.

Historic Rulers
The ruling family of Port Lutum has been the same since its formation. Hywell I is the ancestor of every ruler that came to power in Port Lutum except for a few cases. The house didn’t have that name since its beginnings since Hywell was a common folk and not a nobleman. Hywel II, his descendent, married into the Fynx Noble family of Lutum and created his own branch family, House Fynx of Port Lutum.

Hywell II
Hywell II, The Great was ruler of Port Lutum from 166 TE until 226 TE. He ruled for the longest amount of time in the history of the city, accomplishing many great things that benefited its citizens. He got married with a woman from the noble house of Fynx  bringing the ruling house of Port Lutum into the royal nobility of the entire kingdom. He created a branch family of the House Fynx, called House Fynx of Port Lutum. Since then, the city and the area surrounding it has been ruled by them, with a few exceptions.

Ledyn "Oduru"
After the passsing of Zastan II in 254 TE, Ledyn Fynx became the regent of the city. On his dying bed, Zastan appointed his good friend Ledyn as regent until his son Nywell will come of age and can rule according to the law, for Nywell was only 9 at the time of his father's death and wasn't fit for ruling.

The Babylus Keep
The Babylus Keep was first constructed by Tucimam but it was destroyed during a lutumite attack. The leaders that came after constructed this grand keep that took 30 years to be fully finished.
