Kais Termina

Kais Termina is a trade town located in the Icesteel Province of the Arcadian Altanate and is the Provincal Capital of the Icesteel Province. Before joining Arcadia, Kais Termina served as the refuge of lost 'nomads', where they could find a home and piece together the Mystery of the Landings. The town was originally founded by player goodnoodle808 and acts as the hub of the Icesteel Province, located in the Arcadian Altanate, not far from Midnight Grove, Spadecrown and,now an outpost of Kais Termina, Stormblade's Keep. The mayor, as of writing, is Noodle who originally hailed from his old homeland and gained the title after Kais Kogong joined the Altanate on August 31, 2021. Other notable inhabitants from its past includes the Vice Regulators Specz Arcanes, an ex-nomad, part of the Myster of Landings and originated from the Farlands, and Walrus Man, the heir and owner of Charmont and a promising enriching man in Termina.

Founding
Following the pre-server events, Noodle, Specz and Walrus man found eachother on an alathran island. Bewildered of where their location could be, due to the Mystery of Landings.The three recruited others, such as Stormblade,Mr. Shiny and TJinnit. These no-longer nomads donated sweat, blood and tears to construct the foundations of Kais Termina. Although, the work was astonishingly faster and less painful due to Noodle's mysterious building powers. The powers including time-enhancing spells casted by Specz and money coming in from Tyler (Walrus Man) made the start of Kais Termina a breeze. Things would only go up from here though.

The settlement eventually attracted the attention of Pitru Punstraia, who jumped at the thought of uniting it under The Sublime Arcadian Altanate.Arcadians soon agreed and joined under the Treaty of Icesteel.The nation envisioned a city that would be a hub not for warriors and barbarians, but for constructors, sorcerors, and philosiphers. The town began expanding as construction of the Elder Plans began.

Early Expansion
The three Historical Elders of the metropolis-including Specz, Noodle and Tyler- designed architectual masterpieces, as their crowded town homes were becoming a little worn. Noodle constructed his presently unnamed Cathedral-Fort, Walrus Man crafted St.Basils Cathedral, and Specz built The Arcane Manor, a castle with the main function of hosting Specz Arcanes magical experiments.Soon after, the highly respected Stormblade created the towns barracks and military grounds.

The Sugarcane Farm
Meanwhile, Noodle peacefully constructs the biggest sugarcane farm on the server. This was in hopes of economic growth for the highly respected town. The townspeople, howeve happy, they were poor. No one had a stable income and people would run random arons to hold up the magnificent yet monumental and pricey projects. Noodle wanted to change this, and swiftly

Accession to Arcadia
The Treaty of Icesteel was planned out by Pitru Punstraia and was immediately accepted. Not only would this boost the economy, the Altanate was so greatly looked upon

Future Plans
A Large terraforming project was undertaken by Vasya on the south end of town in order to create more buildings. Planned structures include a greenhouse, windmills and a bell tower.

Social Structure before Arcadia
Kais Kogong uses non-hierarchical organization in order to function. Though Vasya is technically the "King" of Kogongu because of towny rules, she holds no more power than the other members. Every member has an equal voice in discussions, and none are forced to act against their will. In this sense, it could be compared to an anarchist commune in which all members contribute equally for the good of the group, and resources are often shared between members. A job board sits in the middle of the town so members know what needs to be done, and any member can add to it.

Religious Practices


While religion is not compulsory, Kais Kogong holds strong belief in Naism. The goal of Naism is not power or happiness but rather simply to overcome suffering caused by desire and the ignorance of reality's true nature (impermanence and non-existence of the self). They typically value humility and peace, striving to make the world better in nonviolent ways. Except for Hargreevs, who chooses violence.

They have a large church, although most religious activities take place at the holy site behind Hargreevs' house and at Naia's grave. Vasya regularly practices traditional meditation, while Hargreevs uses fishing as a means of meditation.

Some Naist practitioners choose not to wear diamond or Netherite armour, seeing it as a source of pride and intimidation

The holy sites typically have rock sculptures carved into cones and cylinders.

Although being part of the theocratic Arcadian Altanate, the Altan allows other religions than the state faith of Mufijo to be practiced within the borders of Arcadia, believing people should only convert if they wish to. Thus, Naism is still heavily pravticed in Kais Kogong, although the current mayor Game Glider is a devout member of the Mufijo faith.

Art & Humanities


Kais Kogong is a hub of art and music. They have hosted several art events, including an open mic night and a concert by Sillie_Millie at the Singing Squid. Vasya collected books written by members of the server at the library.

Geography
The surrounding area of Kais Kogong was once a plains biome that has since been wiped away by a large earth works project headed by Vasya in order to diversify the geography of the town. The surrounding area is taken up by a dark oak forest, dubbed the "Cotana" forest. A narrow peninsula exists running along the bay to the northeast, towards Wahat Almarjan, and a mountain range to the west, where Bal Duran is.
