Iabet

Iabet is a town located on the border of Nieden and Sparwood. In the old days it was an Escharian trade hub and the capital of the Naverechniyan migrants who fled to Escharia. It was previously called Dolor and then Mladupol before that. The town was home to a renowned watchmakers guild, the Domus Solarii (A massive government building), as well as fine establishments and brothels.

After months of neglect, Iabet was discovered by The Gaians and became their first restoration project, attempting to restore the town to a developed town with government building that would allow for meetings and for a trade hub of the International Trade Alliance to be established in the area.

Founding
The town was originally founded by Naverechniyan migrants and named the town Mluadopol. Mladupol expanded Escharia's influence further south and would continue to expand later during the Coalition War. It started as a quaint town with the construction of the Dennys and Waterwheel. The later construction of the Watchmaker's Guild and Domus Solarii brought the town to further importance.

The Domus Solarii went through several name changes, first Domus Imperii "House of Power," second Domus Aesperii "House of the Aesperii," and finally Domus Solarii "House of Solaris." It was meant to serve as a government building for the Escharian Diet and began construction after Maxim Yaroslav (Now Maximus Aesperii) was adopted by Arminius Severie. The town began a phase of rapid expansion, with a market being added "Jon's Market" to the north and a port nearby. Progress slowed nearing the Coalition War, when Maximus aided in the victory of the Battle of Cahuarn.

The town was eventually abondoned by Maximus after his Ascension to Luminarium. His spirit is rumored to rest in the now renovated Domus Solarii, constantly pondering at the fountain. His two sons' locations are unknown, (Octavius Maximus Aesperii and Auerelius Maximus Aesperii), but his only daughter (Auria Severie Aesperii) resides in Iabet.

Nomadic Trade Alliance
As one of the founding tribes of the Alliance, the ruins of the Domus Solarii started being converted into a trade hub, although these plans never saw through to completion.

Eschariia, the Duchy of Suderen, and their interests in Iabet
While officially not Eshariian citizens, the government let the Gaians rebuild the town of Iabet.

On the 28th of October, 2021, the Gaians were informed that the town would have a member from the Duchy of Suderen, who were the owners of the land that the ruins of Iabet resided on. The Gaian representative, TenAnimal, was assigned to deal with the talks regarding the leader of Iabet under what would later be revealed to be false information that the town would be taken over by the Escharii government, by force if necessary, and that the Gaians would be relocated to another part of Eschariia. These issues were resolved when the Irrastere of the Duchy of Suderen, Herod, with Ahroqan Gammaman1340 and other members, the leader of the Gaian tribe, M3TTA, and her representative TenAnimal, as well as the leader of the International Trade Alliance, Tirado of the Norade, met on the 30th of October, 2021.

After discussing the Gaian occupation at Iabet, it was found that the Gaians, the Duchy of Suderen, and Eschariia had different ideas about what the Gaian occupation of Iabet meant. It was agreed that the Gaians would be allowed to live on the land and that, if there were to be discussions of Gaian land ownership, it was to be put before a gathering of the leading representatives of the Gaians, the Duchy of Suderen, and the Eschariians so as to avoid the misunderstanding of intentions.

Gaian Influence
Due to Sister Adashi's growing prowess in nature magic and several Gaian relics being stored at Iabet, the town has become overrun with flora found usually in jungle biomes.

Suderen Breakaway
When The Kingdom of Suderen ceceeded from Escharia, it became apart of the nation. This has caused unrest as the citizens and leadership of Iabet dislike their new ruler. Seeing this, the Kingdom of Suderen forged a treaty that allowed the citizens of Iabet to keep their religious freedom.

Domus Solarii
A massive courthouse that went unused by Escharia, then was planned to be converted into a headquarters for the now-defunct Nomadic Trade Alliance.

Denny's
Originally a resturant, it was turned into a brothel by squatters and was a place for dirty actions. Now it is an apartment building and a resturaunt.

Promenade Estate
A mansion converted into a cheap short-term refugee housing.
