Geography
Nagitou is a settlement located in the southern part of the province of Calador of the nation of Raiyuna. The settlement is known for its unique landmarks, including the Nagitou Palace, the Red Trees, and the only ice race-track of Raiyuna.

Nagitou Palace, a Yaszumatti inspired palace, is situated on a lonely snowy mountain in Southern Calador. This palace also functions as the seat of the Akurai Clan, the founders and rulers of Nagitou. The palace is surrounded by the unique Red Trees, which are found nowhere else outside of Calador. The mountain upon which Nagitou Palace resides is also the southern end of the most important river of Calador, on which the capital city of Calador; Albora also resides.

The Formula Eldham race-track is another important landmark in Nagitou. It goes partly underneath the snowy mountain upon which Nagitou Palace is located, and was constructed with the intent of being part of the Formula Eldham organization, which is the official ice boat race organization of Eldham. The race-track is a popular destination for tourists and locals alike, especially during races and events.

Pre-history
The history of the region that is now called Nagitou possibly dates back to a time long before the foundation of modern Raiyuna. Although much of this period remains shrouded in mystery, there are rumors that Nagitou Palace was built on a more ancient site of the Qwe'tsni culture, whose people may have inhabited the area as far back as 300 years ago.

Some evidence of this prehistoric culture has been discovered in the caves inside the mountains, as artifacts of this age have been found. How those artifacts ended up inside the cave systems and whether this is truly prove of an ancient Qwe’tsni settlement is still the subject of debate and interpretation among Raiyuna scholars.

Modern History
Modern Nagitou, as it is today, was founded by Mecr and Emrys Akurai of the Akurai Clan in the year 50 YM, during the reign of Tszano Hasufel Takanori. Both Mecr and Emrys were ethnically Yaszumatti, and the settlement was inspired by this style. Nagitou was intended to be the seat of power of the Akurai Clan.

The settlement was constructed in the wake of the destruction of the Ashigaru civilization, which had previously illegally occupied this region. With the fall of the Ashigaru, the Akurai Clan saw an opportunity to establish a new settlement and expand their power.

Over time, Nagitou grew in size and importance, becoming a center of trade and commerce in the region. The Nagitou Palace was constructed as a symbol of the Clan's power and wealth, and the Red Trees were planted to enhance the palace's beauty and prestige.

Today, Nagitou remains an important center of power and influence in the region, with the Akurai Clan still holding sway over the town and its surrounding areas. The town continues to thrive, attracting visitors from far and wide with its unique landmarks and rich history.

Culture
The culture of Nagitou is heavily inspired by the Yaszumatti culture. One prominent aspect of the local culture is the reverence for dragons, which are believed to be native to this area of the land. This belief is reflected in various art forms, such as dragon sculptures and paintings, as well as in local folklore and traditions. The wealth of the region has also contributed to a culture of decadence, with a focus on luxury and extravagance. This is evident in the architecture and design of the Nagitou Palace, as well as in the lifestyles of the wealthy elite who reside there.

Another unique aspect of Nagitou's culture is its love for aeronautics, which is reflected in the many hot air balloons that can be seen floating in the skies above the town. These balloons are not only used for transportation, but also for recreation and sport, with local competitions and festivals dedicated to their use.

Economy
Nagitou's economy is centered around several key industries that have grown and flourished over time. One of the most significant players in the town's economy is the company Ashina Market, which has its headquarters located in Nagitou. The company is a major player in the Enchantment industry and is led by Mecr Akurai, one of the founders of Nagitou.Another important contributor to the town's economy is the ice race-track, which hosts events for the Formula Eldham organization, the official ice boat race organization of Eldham. These events draw in large crowds and generate significant revenue for the town and the surrounding area. Nagitou's strategic location also makes it an important hub for trade and commerce. It is located near several large cities such as Umakwa, Qadakh, Albora, and Hanikwa, which provides the town with access to important trade partners and markets. This has helped to spur economic growth and development in the region over time.
