Gehenazar

The City of Gehenazar, formally known as Atoxa or Gehenna, is a registered city in the USSE in the state of Atoxa. Formerly known as Kestchya. Gehenna was founded in the Year 135 (March 19th, 2022) on the ruins of Kestchya. South of Gehenna the Felsig Mountains which was the former site of a Neihernspried infection, North is the abandon city of Swindongrad, to the South is the capital Kazkaya, to the east the Island of Amicitia, and the west is the City of Vostroya. Gehenna is known for being the agricultural hub of Atoxa and for its local Cult to Tégo'O of local Religion of Oxintoism. The town is mains constructed of Spruce, Deepslate, and Blackstone. Its buildings include large townhouses, mansions, and public facilities. Gehenna is also known for being the city where the Atoxa Crisis took place.

Kestchyan Times (58-135)
Before the modern Gehenna was founded their existed Kestchyan, a penal colony. It was originally founded in the year 58 (June 6th 2021) by a player named kora789. The penal colony existed there before to the Neihernspried spore cluster infected the mountain top after its original home in Adamantem was burned. A quarantine zone was set up around the mountain by the People's Army and a research facility was built to research the fungus. The research facility was later abandon for unknown reasons. Most probable cause is that the Neihern flower that sprouted causing the fungus to spread into the facility. Soon after the Kestchya penal colony was abandon as well with its founder kora789 leaving the server.

Founding (135-144)
Gehenna was founded in Year 135 (March 19th 2022) after a wave of migrants from another land came to settle onto the ruins of Kestchya. Permission was given from the willing USSE government and the owner of the unused land for the migrants to settle. These migrants would come to call the new city Gehenna after the Lo'oi Elder who guided them died after succumbing to illness upon arrival. Local legends told them of a local Atoxan named Zaloralon who died on the mountain top and whose scream scared off the evil spirits of the forest to protect the worshipers of Tégo'O.

The city would remake the old prisoner dining hall into a Temple to Tégo'O. With its new U.S.S.E resources and with the Gehenna’s religious motivation the citizens of Gehanna build up a town center and expand into the surrounding valley, called by the locals as the Valley of Zaloralon. The Gehennans would also establish their own local government that was open to all members of the town to participate in.

Growth (145-159)
Before then there was a slight dip in population most likely due to many of the originals Elders of the first wave dying off. The population was rapid enough to cause Gehenna to lose National Assembly representation briefly before getting it back. While the town was initial closed to outsiders the decline in population prompted the town quickly recruit new citizens from outside of the town. Over time population growth rebounded.

In 145 (April 27th 2022) it was discovered that the food supply of Gehenna has been contaminated with the Neihernspried fungus. Not only contaminated but gone unnoticed at least three years as reported by Mayor Magnolia Sweete in a public message sent out to the citizens. It seemed however that the fungus, which supposedly had infected the whole town, didn't have any adverse effects, instead it seemed to benefiting the town by allowing the wheat to grow better in the winter soil and the sheep to give red wool. During the time of the discovery it wasn't entirely known the full extent or effects would have on Gehenna and its population. As a part of the growing town Magnolia would manage to negotiate a merger with their northern neighbor, Swindongrad who had a dwindling population. At this time the city was renamed Atoxa.

Recruitment would still go on and the town would come to be the second most populated in the USSE for a month. Magnolia Sweet, the city's mayor, left her position in the town as well as the Executive Government to volunteer in the Hansa Socialist Revolution in Rathnir in the Republic of Hansa. She would die by bayonet. The city would elect her daughter Aster Cornaro to be Mayor.

Atoxan Crisis (160)
During the Mayorship of Aster Cornaro a controversy took place over Aster Cornaro's misuse of mayoral authority. Having grown up in the royal court of Refuge City didn't appreciate socialism. In an effort to avoid getting money from the government to fund development alongside a general apathy for the USSE, she decided to take out a loan of four hundred twenty thousand dollars from the Bank of Manzland, a former rival of the USSE. This loan would be put into a hedge fund that would gain the town passive income to be able to spend on building projects. So was claimed by Mayor Aster.

However the town claim would need to be held as collateral for the bank in order for the loan to be taken out. After a few years the Commissar's Circle would finally figure out the detail because of paperwork listing a bank official as the town owner. The Bank would offer to sell the loan to the USSE as a way to defuse and tension which the USSE accepted.

USSE would demand payment immediately from Aster and remove her administrative status in Gehenna. Aster would be investigated and did not cooperate with paying back the loan. She would be exiled for treason mainly for giving the town to a foreign power. However other issues were raised about Aster's Mayorship including: having a city discord and for having an illegal city government. Most of the town would leave for a town claim given to then by the former leader of the Alodian Federation DJ, which was named Robeleduk, or Grassy Gap in Lo'oi. The only remaining citizen would be kora789, the original founder. The General Secretary would appoint DeathByCannabis to be the new Mayor of Atoxa

Return from Exile (186-Present)
Former Mayor Aster would be lifted from exile and granted access back to Gehenna which would prompt several of the remaining Atoxans to settle back allowing for the town to be resettled. However by the end of the return, only 2 Citizens remained. Aster and Rebuldir. The City would undergo efforts to fix its image. First by renaming itself from Atoxa, which was also the name of the state, to the Lo'oifed version of Gehanna; Gehanazar. Secondly by removing all remains of the Neihern infection from the town in a citywide purge of any spores.
