Heizen

Heizen is a town located in Yunria in the continent of Valresh.

The city was built above the ruins of Dovepove, not far from the city of Prywellyn.

Founding
The foundation of Heizen is traced back to February 2, 2022, the day when the construction of Fort Kaevaeil was completed. The founders of Heizen were originally from four nomadic Avari tribes located in Valresh, theese tribes, thanks to the infinite charisma of the great warrior Drummon, set aside their differences and united.

Early years
In the early years Heizen grew thanks to some ancient metallurgical extraction techniques. Also known for the ferocity of his warriors, Heizen exploited his impressive military strength sending their own soldiers to fight like mercenaries and to be bounty hunters.

Very soon Heizen came under the sphere of influence of Yunria, an ambitious nation located in Valresh. After the annexation to Yunria the leader of Heizen Drummon was officially appointed duke by the Supreme Chancellor of Yunria.

Army
The great military force of Heizen is due to its strict laws and to the strange customs and traditions of its inhabitants. According to Heizen’s law for example childrens born deformed were to be sacrificed to the god Zeniath so that he might strengthen all the others.

A bizarre custom of the inhabitants of Heizen is the one for which at the age of 9 children must be taken to the forest and abandoned to their fate, those who could survive and return to their families were reintegrated into society, of all the others instead there is no trace. Although some rumors tell of a group of children who survived without returning to their families, they are today a huge danger for Heizen businesses since there have been some cases of caravans assaulted and looted.
