Difference between revisions of "Hashan"

Beginning as a humble village and located in the heart of the [[Ithmian Forests]], the [[city-state]] of '''Hashan, Crown of the Ithmia''', is [[Sapience]]'s third major city established in the year 222 AF. Due to territorial conflicts, the expansion of Hashan and its early existence endured rough beginnings, challenged by [[Achaean_Lingo|forestal]] organizations and their respective patrons Lord [[Lupus, God of the Beasts]] and Lady [[Gaia, Goddess of Nature]]. Nevertheless, Hashan was successfully brought into being by the mortal Darthus with the support of Lord [[Twilight, God of Darkness]] and later the Ladies [[Valnurana, Goddess of Sleep and Dreams]] and [[Ourania, Goddess of the Moon]], who remains patroning the Crown in modern times. Today, Hashan continues to display a tenacity to survive any hardship, catering to aid others only when her own interests are furthered as well. It is a haven where the diverse characters of Sapience may live together in harmony and community without fear of prejudice, oppression, or bigotry, and where everyone is free to pursue their potential to the greatest of their abilities.

'''The Crossroads''' is Hashan's very center, the most common place for gathering and a useful reference point. The '''Road of Eternity''' is Hashan's north entrance road which features a grand display of statues of past and present Gods. '''Founder's Monument''' north of the crossroads features statues as well of the city's mortal founders. The '''Dome of the Triad''' stands tall as a tribute to the divine [[Triad of the Night]] which used to patron Hashan in its early years, and the old '''Coliseum''' may be visited where gladiators used to spar. Lastly, the '''Spring of Fluvialis''' that provides an unlimited source of fish for fishing and the '''Temple of Fluvialis''' is found south of the crossroads, gifts given by Lord [[Neraeos, God of the Sea]] during his time as patron.

Of the famous faces that hail from Hashan, four are remembered most: [[Liirup]], Hashan's notable rat-eating madwoman, retired Seneschal Elentari Lokelinde-Danial who ascended to Godhood through the collective will of the [[Pantheon]] to become [[Ourania, Goddess of the Moon]], [[Damaris, the Learned]] who teaches in Hashan's multi-roomed academy, and Aringar Claros, the first mortal ever to reach the 99th circle of [[Help:experience|experience]] and become a [[Greater_Dragons|Greater Dragon]].
