Berrium

Berrium is a medieval town in the southwest of the nation Viratayn. It was founded on 10th June 2022 by Giank17. Berries are the main theme of the city that wishes to be known for its berry fields around Rathnir. Berrium was officially intergrated into Viratayn on 22nd July 2022 following a meeting between Athaz The Traveler and Harpil11. Berrium's ideology is based on humans' spiritual development and connection with nature.

History
Berrium, as all cities, started out as a squatter settlement. Over time, Berrium made many important decisions that improved the living standard of its citizens (democratic elections, infastructure, economical boom, open trade with other nations, etc.). Citizens of Berrium bonded with people from the capital over several meetings and grew to know the Zentivaric religion. Also, Berrium citizens quickly got involved in aiding other nations during hard times. Yet the same could not be said for some Tortugans who, before the Tortuga-Horde war, wanted to rule the Berrium territory. Luckily the problem was resolved quickly and Berrium could focus on its explansion plans. In September 2022, Berrium natives began experimenting with creative money-making methods and activities after completing a project for establishing the minimum required housing for its population.

Lore
Berries... The theme of this town... But why are berries so "magical"? What are the secrets underneath that spikey bush? To begin with, people in Berrium believe that berries can help one find the right path in life and keep one away from temptation, misery and anger. Suprisingly, those are some of the main traits of people in the Zentivaric religion. Nevertheless, Berries only help if you treat them nicely. Otherwise, they return negativity back to its source, making one suffer from one's own anger and misery.
