Voyagez is a town founded by Kongongi[[The Kogongi People|Kogongi]] refugees fleeing reeducation at [[Acquendavia]]. It was founded by [[Haccer]] on June 6th, 2021. Voyagez was founded and named when its people converted their wooden canoes to houses after encountering fertile swampland. It has since become a starting place for anyone looking to grow their experience before setting out on their own.
 
== History ==
=== Initial Settling ===
After practicing their traditional hunter-gatherer lifestyles while traveling up the river in barkskin canoes, the Kogongi people found land they were able to sustainably harvest and live cohesively with. As the land entered Freeze, they broke down their boats to make rudimentary shelters and waited. When Bloom broke, it was discovered that the land and lake were able to continuously produce enough for the colony. This lead to further development of a society. Statues were built to commemorate the past. There was an assumption that they could not return and wouldn't know how to return if it was.
Of those that fled the Acquendavian reeducation, 83 survivors made it to the fertile grounds of Voyagez. The journey had aquainted them with local flora and fauna and they found it to be very similar to that of previous home. When they made the site of Voyagez, the season of [[Alathrian Zodiac| Freeze]] set in and the survivors were forced to convert their barkskin boats into rudimentary shelters. Upon [[Alathrian Zodiac| Bloom]] breaking the ice of Freeze, the new settlers found the land to be sustainable and choose to convert their temporary shelters into permenent shelters.
=== Early Settlement ===
The settlers found themselves all in roles similar to that of their hunter-gatherer caravan. They broke into four distinct groups. The groups, called trades by the settlers, were hunters, fishers, foragers, and specialists. <br>
It is said that each was to lead a group onto the lands and return with their appropriate items. The fishers and specialists were to remain at the site to prepare it to be their new homeland. <br>
''Hunters'' went North-West and followed the waters edge as a handrail back to the site. <br>
''Fishers'' moved to the South-Western banks as it was forbidden to them to see what the specialists were doing <br>
''Foragers'' using an accute knowledge of plants and direction were able to gather from the dark oak forest to the South-East where the mushrooms grew tall and plentiful.<br>
''Specialists'' made up of people trained in specialized vocations such as story-telling or blacksmithing, set to surveying and preparing the site for the others to return. Lead by the religious leader of the group, the specialists conducted a ritual to bless the lands. It is not known how this ritual is conducted, nor is it known if it worked, as when all the other trades returned, the specialists had vanished. <br>
After finishing building homes, each trade erected a statue, as well as all coming together to construct a statue in rememberance of the specialists. This was the last collabrative act before infighting began between the trade. <br>
Voyagez was founded offically, when the Trades united under Haccer, who had mastered all three vocations. Around this time, Voyagez experienced a culture shift from isolationist to general world mercantilism.
=== Agrarian Boom ===
Large Fields were sown outside of Voyagez to allow the hungry food. Every crop available was traded for and cultivated to allow the opening of trade and good will with the world. As crops were brought in, the stones found in the fields were set to a castle. After the completion of that, the fashioning of stone houses, using the durable and water resistant spruce that was traded from [[Winterhallow]] for crops from the warmer climate as roofing material. The rise in food production allowed a population boom that brought about a necessary of greater houses. Within the small outer wall, many houses popped up.

[[File:VoyagezShaders.png|thumb|right|Voyagez seen from the north-east]]
Voyagez has a mercantile culture that has lead to strong connections with many of the other small towns around the server. This lead to the Voyagez to rediscovering their ancestral homelands. Roots had been put down and Voyagez had its own culture but they joined [[Kogongu]] as they shared an ancestral past.
===Cuisine===
Salmon was traditionally used to sow the plants and only would be eaten if the fish harvest was incredably good in a year. Because of the continual sowing of the fields with salmon, the crops grow very quickly and the practice was discontinued, but the people of Voyagez still enjoy salmon as a delicacy. <br>
Suspicous Stew is regularly consumed. The forager trade learned the secrets of the suspicous stew and were able to make the stew with the desired effect. This stew was only consumed at pseudo-religious rituals.
===Custom and etiquette===
It is customary to feed the hungry. Voyagez does not claim its fields of food to assure any hungry player has an abundance of food. Any member of Voyagez will also give food out if someone mentions that they are hungry.
===Sports===
Voyagez has become a center for horse racing. Their track is marked by red flags starting to the south of the town and ending at the Eastern entrance to the town.
 
==Conflict==
After the separation of [[Ashina]] and [[Acquendavia]], the kings of Acquendavia laid claim to the entire continent. Haccer was unwilling to fight a battle against Acquendavia, and let Acquendavia claim the land for its empire.
