Celtenn

Celtenn is a city established on a mountain range. In it’s rather short history, it has witnessed a many misfortunes but the resilient citizens stood strong. This is a planned megapolis which will stretch as far east to the sea. Celtenn was formerly apart of the Aesprium Niedea, in the Duchy of Varmerion before transitioning to the Soleannan Imperium. Celtenn, in these new borders, are now in the Enrei (Province) of Oogleron.

Etymology
The name Celtenn originated from the words “Celle” - meaning cold, and “Tenn” - town, in the native nomadic language of Oakerd Arkoden, founder and currently serving leader of Celtenn.

History
"'Frosty slopes, shivering breeze, devouring hunger. None has prepared, from birth marching. The only hope - our dreams. Lone was us, none lost. Each had a path to follow, empyrean.'"

Founding
Celtenn was founded by Oakard Arkoden, along with several other explorers. It was founded in the middle of a freezing winter in August 15, 2021. Placed within the borders of the Aesperium Niedea, in the Duchy of Varmerion. Further information can be found in the first paragraph of "Bob's Burden" by Thompson Carter.

The Near Destruction of Celtenn
In its early days Celtenn was nearly destroyed in what was presumably a deliberately summoned meteor shower or magical attack by an unknown third party. While this was going on, a very important polar bear to the Celtennites named, Bob, risked their life and fought against these mages. It was however, that during this fight, that Bob died after a fireball hit many vital areas of Bob's body. Citizens of Celtenn lost all hope, as the mages finished up and left. It was during this time however, that "An endless white void sank to the ground consuming the city entirely within seconds. Before long, everything was tranquil. Birds were chirping, as the townspeople stood in awe, processing what had just happened". This was believed to be because Bob had never truly died in the fight, and that only their physical form was destroyed and thus used some form of powerful magic to restore the entirety of Celtenn, and dispel the invaders for good. Further more detailed information can be found in "Bob's Burden" by Thompson Carter.

Establishment of Freedom of Belief in the Settlement
Estimated to be sometime a few months ago as of February 16, 2022, religious freedom was established in the settlement of Celtenn. Despite the Aesprium Niedea enforcing their belief system on all citizens, one could live in Celtenn without being forced to convert. This however did not come as a result of peaceful dialogue. This came about as a negotiated deal between the Aesperium Niedea and the rebels which included the settlement of Celtenn. The agreed upon deal for remaining apart of the Empire would be complete religious freedom as well as a large deal of autonomy from the central government. This however has not helped the lack of skilled builders to help expand the settlement, which contributes to its slow growth.

Border Sharing with Drasil
An unknown time ago, Celtenn had to share it's borders with a neighboring settlement called Drasil which was also apart of the Aesprium Niedea. There is currently an ongoing discussion on a permanent border between these two settlements, it however, has not reached an official agreement and thus this arrangement still persists up until today, even under the new ruling power of the Soleannen Imperium.

Moving to Oogleron
After the announcement of the peaceful unification to form the Soleannan Imperium on March 3, 2022, 3 days later, on March 6, 2022 it was announced that the Duchy of Varmerion is being moved downwards, as well as the Duchy of Reykara being shrunk to the north to make space for the new Enrei of Oogleron. Note that these are all still provinces, and these provinces were still in the process of renaming during this time. The town of Oogleron is earliest recorded iteration of Fort Harsengaard, but it is still unclear why it was named after this. Regardless of this, due to the moving borders after the empires of Escharia and the Aesperium Combined into the Soleannan Imperium, Celtenn now sits in the Enrei of Oogleron. The citizens and the local government's response to this change is still undocumented and is currently being investigated.

Geography
Hilly with patches of flat terrain, and mostly treed with thick woodland comprising spruce trees to the east and north. Fort Harsengaard is towards the north of the settlement, and is very close by. There are snow capped peaks present in the eastern areas of the settlement, and further out is a large lake connected to a vast river system. To the west meanwhile, lies the sea and further beyond that, is the settlement of Drasil. Despite being located relatively close to the sea, there are little to no sandy beaches within it's borders. To the south are several smaller cities such as Egalia and Belkadaan, and further southeast of Celtenn is the provincial capital of Varmerion, Varmerion, and Solren. The western and southern areas are dominated mostly by plains and contains stands of Oak trees. A distinct feature of Celtenn is the many ponds that dot it's landscape.

Culture and Heritage
Culture is an important part of Celtenn. As with any other settlement, it has a unique set of beliefs and practices that make it stand out amongst other towns and cities.

Religions
The dominant beliefs in Celtenn are Soleannen and Celtennite Bobism. Despite having Soleannen as an official recognized religion in Celtenn, it is not enforced on its citizens. This is considered to be a violation of Soleannen doctrines, but due to the law that was passed allowing Celtenn to be free of this demand meaning that, citizens are free from being forcefully converted into becoming believers of Solaris. Celtennite Bobism on the other hand is a local belief created by the citizens of Celtenn after Bob, the savoir of Celtenn, saved Celtenn.

Government
The current governing structure of Celtenn is a mix between a Democratic style of government and Theocracy. This is due to the fact that the currently ruling empire, the Soleannan Imperium is a Theocracy, where the Emperor split up the land into 4 distinct Senta's (Regions), which are split up into several Enrei, that these subordinates are able to either assign land to mayors, or formally recognize tribes in the area. However, unlike full Theocracy, the people can vote whether or not these officials can take ahold of power. Therefore forming the basis of Hybrid Theocracy.

These are several major constructs that have been erected in Celtenn or in Celtenn owned territories. There are several edifices and locations that have yet to be completed and thus this section is subject to change rapidly.
