Dufond-Sur-Mer

Dufond-Sur-Mer, formerly known as Oyonnax-Nîmes or Nîmes, is one of the largest towns in The Lorent and Rathnir, The former home of Enzohh Talatra, and the capital city of The Archduchy of Dîmes. It includes the former cities of Vermillion and Suns Break within it as districts and famous buildings like The Colosseum, The Arden Manor, and the Nîmien Bar.

Origins
In the early days of Lorent when there were very few towns and the cities of Noirel and Relmont were just being established The Lorent sent a small group of players to a desert stretch that connected Haven and Sorligste. Here the players Shang, Pokoroa, and Matcha_chan would found the city of Oyonnax-Nîmes. The city would start building up its signature sandstone style and completely transform the lonely desert into a small town.

Oyonnax-Nîmes
During the early days of the town it would see its first major impact of the amazing Lorentish build style. They would construct the resources building, the center garden, the temple, and farmland areas. Poko had taken full control of the city and helped it to grow exponentially.

Nîmes
Now that Poko had taken full control of the city some major changes were made and the town of Vermillion would merge into Poko’s dear city. This would mean the famous Lorentish Colosseum and the whole area of Vermillion would be added to Nîmes. After this major change the areas of Claret Hamlet and Vermillion Village would start being constructed by Poko’s wife, Redelty. These areas would turn into major housing areas for the city and become very active upon completion. Around this time in a fit of rage from the gods, the official plaque at the center of the large city would be changed to “Noirlplaces0”. Taking this as a sign of disapproval of the name Poko would officially change the name of Nîmes to Dufond-Sur-Mer.

The Siege of Relmont
In late July of 2022 the Pirate Empire of Tortuga would declare war on Lorent. Their first target would be to siege the capital of Lorent in the legendary Siege of Relmont. Every Nîmien soldier available was dispatched to summit the mountain of Relmont and prepare for the invaders to arrive. Even Poko’s own grandson, Enzohh Talatra, would go to show his support for Lorent and fight off the foreign invaders. Eventually the Siege of Relmont would end in a massive Lorent victory which would lead to a massive uptick in Lorent players.

Dufond-Sur-Mer
Under the towns name of Dufond-Sur-Mer it has flourished, adding the district of Suns Break to its claim, seeing one of the largest market areas in all of Lorent being built, a huge influx of players following the Siege of Relmont, and the fallen city of Bamonto under the city being built even greater. This renaming marked the start of a new golden era for the city and a golden area for Dîmes.
