Askalon



Askalon is a city in the The Kingdom of Avaria founded by Blandie (IGN : Bland1e ) and Kysnaros on the 19th of February, 2021.

Askalon started out as a small port town and slowly developed, eventually becoming a decently sized town in the former Republic of Posavaria. About a month after joining the Republic, Askalon and some other northern towns rebelled against it due to not agreeing with their dictatorial government.( see : Posovari revolutions ). Askalon also formed Kemlar union, but it quickly fell apart due to player burnout. Since nobody was active anymore, the admins unclaimed the town. Later some of the players returned and formed New Askalon with duke Trevis as its leader. As time passed other players started returning, new players joined and Askalon was soon rebuilt to its former glory.

Location
Askalon located on the northwest coast of Sparwood Minor and the Norgrens Sea, just north of Snoengrad.

History
Long ago, Askalon was a little island with Norse-Slavic culture near Plagos. On the 19th of February, 2021, Old Askalon was abandoned and moved to Sparwood as part of the The Kingdom of Avaria.

Old Askalon is a holy land for today's Chawolfists. No one can settle there until they accept Chawolfism and Askalonian culture as their own. Every Chawolfist should visit the Shrine of Old Askalon at least once in their lifetime.

Askalon was the capital city of Kelmar Union which fell apart in a few weeks due to politics and player burnout. Shortly after Askalon was unclaimed by the admins due to inactivity. Some time later the founders of Askalon along with some old Kelmar Union members came back and started to rebuild the town.

Landmarks
Askalon has one the largest ports in Sparwood which will also become a construction site of the Avarian Navy sometime in the future. Askalon also features multiple impressive statues such as The Great Protector of New Askalon and the Eagle of Askalon. There is also a Chawolfist church there - Church of St. Knut.
