Fort Bethany

Fort Bethany was a smaller town located on the Syltör continent, this town is in the Andorn Empire, more precisely in the kingdom of Drehaladune (in the modern territory of Ardena).

History
Bethany was settled on the ruins of a currently unknown city by _EternalBlizzard. Fort Bethany was never considered a major city by any standards, but it wasn't the smallest. One of its most prominent citizens was also the Imperial Andornian scribe OmelettBoy, which helped document this city.

Ancient Civilization
There were mostly likely some sort of civilized people in the area before Fort Bethany was a thing. The only clues given to us were scattered pieces of ancient architecture and signs near the current city. Some scholars proposed that this could have been an outpost town of the anchient Karnagi race, that settled Goyburg (known today as Savras), although this hypothesis is highly contested. The most prominent of them is a pair of two signs which state: "Let it be known I was here - We will never meet, but I am with you - After you leave, please remember we will all return home". We can say a two things about these signs that are most likely true; there are multiple people in this civilization, and the people will return. The other parts are quite cryptic and not understood to this day especially the section with states "We will never meet".

There are also a few other less signifiant ruminants of them, notably a rectangular hole dug into the ground, a few pathways, destroyed pillager outpost and few block in a nearby ravine.

Andornian Reign
The two most important buildings in the city were the fort and a nearby pub. The fort was made mostly out of stone bricks and acted as a main base for its residents. The pub titled "Downtown Bar", is its main source of income, however it was quite small, so we can assume that the income is not the highest.Although the city was sparsely populated, as most of then Drehaladune territory, it saw most of its activity in the height of the Andorn Empire (as the vassal of Bardonia). Most of the prominent buildings, such as the fort itself and the later constructed bar came from this period.We know of this city only from the writings of OmelettBoy, which subsequently became its mayor. As the imperial scribe of Andorn, he liked the place for its calmness. Most of the information about this town is known only from his writtings published in his many collections. The populous of this town was one of the few in the region that preferred to use the Savyrain langauge, instead of the regional Drehal tongue, becuuse of him.

The Cookie Company
The Cookie Company was a proposed plan devised by by OmelettBoy and _EterenalBlizzard to sell enormous quantities of cookies. Half of the production lied in the city of Savras, but the other half was situated in Fort Bethany, most importantly a small shop and the production of the cookies themselves.

This company was the main source of economic income in Fort Bethany. It was also the main and only export of the city, even though all of the resources required for its creation were brought from Savras.

The downfall of Fort Bethany
After the death of _EternalBlizzard and departure of OmelettBoy, the town saw a slow gradual decline. Most of its citizens either died or abondened the town entirely for better living standards, particulary into the capital of Andorn Orilin. The last reminents of its inhabitants fled while the Andorn empire was collapsing in the Third Andorn Crisis. The fort as well as the entire hill that it set upon was torn down. The Andornian archeologists that went to investigate the fort's location found no evidnce of its existance other than a small black ruin few paces away from the alleged site of Fort Bethany.
