Pasouthak

Pasouthak, officially the Keshrat of Pasouthak, is a large town located on the end of the Arritas Peninsula in western Yimmu-Audal. It is one of three settlements on the peninsula, along with Ayesinco, and the ruins of the town of Sinusia.

The town is centred around the ancient "National Congress" building, one of only four surviving builds that predate the arrival of Joe Frank Kennedy, the town's founder and Keshra. The town is host to many attractions, most notably: a Sakrelist tabernacle, the only religious site on the Arritas Peninsula; the Pasouthak River, an artifical stream constructed in an open-air cave system; the Pasouthak Cheese Store; the _Lights bar & liqour store; and the Pasouthak Navy Headquarters.

The town can be divided into three districts: Pasouthak city centre, South Pasouthak, and North Pasouthak.



The Arritas Peninsula before Pasouthak


There are scattered ruins across the Arritas Peninsula that point to irregular habitation at various times in the past. Notably, in what is now South Pasouthak, there was a lava pool where a nether portal was constructed with a cobblestone house next to it. The nether portal has since been moved into the centre of town and the lava pool filled in with sand and covered with dirt, but the house remains.

Also to the south are the Kennedy Islands. The largest one of these has the ruins of a lighthouse on it, and although the inside of it has been cleaned of anything, the structure remains intact until near the top.

To the north of the peninsula lies Barren Island. This has been heavily investigated by archaeologists, with evidence pointing to the island having formerly had a water lake, cave, and a large hill that were flattened over to build on. There is the remains of a house of acacia and sandstone construction, heavily ruined, and a small section of podzol that should normally be grass located on the shore.

The remains of a small house located on the site of the current Pasouthak Tower were moved into the city centre upon the tower's construction.

To the east of a town lies a huge structure that is aesthetically very Audalad. It is extensively ruined with only the foundations and a skeleton structure of sandstone surviving.

Further to the east of the town, at the head of a small cove, is the ruins of a town named "Sinusia". It consists of a small pier in the cove, which has grand steps leading up the hill to the town, all of which has been extensively griefed, save for one house and a nether portal. There also remains a small decorative fence around the town made of sandstone walls and blocks in a pattern. The land's entry message was "Welcome to the small town in cove!", the claim expired in early August 2021.

The Essukalad town
There was formerly a small village of sorts located in the centre of modern Pasouthak. Joe Frank Kennedy indeed chose to settle Pasouthak here precisely due to the pre-existing builds. These structures consisted of one pier, which still remains; the "National Congress" building, which was slightly modified but still retains its original shape and size; a mineshaft behind the former building, now with a proper entrance building created over it for ease of access; and two house-like structures, one of spruce wood that was demolished to build the Cheese Store on, and another of cobblestone that has been renovated to house the town blacksmith. In the geographical centre of this town there remains to this day a birch wood sign stating simply: “E”, and the date, “11.05.21”, or the Eleventh of May 2021. This would mean that this town was constructed and peaked during the era of Theios-Essukudal. It is remarkable that the ruins were mostly untouched when the Sironian refugees arrived - likely due to the remoteness of the Arritas Peninsula.

The Arrival of the Sironians
After the abandonment of the Essukulad town located in modern Pasouthak, more than two months would pass before there would be any documented habitation in the western Arritas Peninsula. Thanks to its remoteness, only some griefing was inflicted upon the town.

Then, on July 14, after three days of searching for a place to build their town, the Sironian refugees arrived in the town. Led by Joe Frank Kennedy, notable members of the group, which numbered around 7, include Nanek (crazyminer389), who would later found the town of Omverlon, Sironia; Madhursumi; Liraxak (xxslavicgamerxx); Cxrtifixd; and Sudokee, who left later on to refound the town of Asourtherak, an example of where a refugee in the group left to return to the Sironian homeland after the Civil War had ended.
