This is the highly urbanised region around El Obeid and includes the land surrounding lake Nuba, south towards the 'Sudd Swamp', east towards the ruins of An Nahud and North towards Ed Damer. It contains a large portion of the population of Nubia. This area previously included [[Kraftier]], one of Nubia's larger cities before they left and were [[The Kraftier Raid|insided by Nubia]]. | This is the highly urbanised region around El Obeid and includes the land surrounding lake Nuba, south towards the 'Sudd Swamp', east towards the ruins of An Nahud and North towards Ed Damer.

[[Twomoo1119]] had initially joined the server upon the request of an online friend, CasualNuker, with whom he had played on another towny server that had died. The plan was to set up a Wakandan nation with El Obeid to be a desert fortress and another town, located around modern-day Illicit, to become the capital. Getting to the site where El Obeid was located in January of 2019 was rather difficult. Lower Egypt only had several towns and Upper Egypt had none. There were no ice roads or canals crossing the Sahara either. For a relatively poor citizen who had to scavenge for their own food, the Sahara posed a rather frightening obstacle. Luckily for [[twomoo1119]], and Skyocity, another online friend who had joined him, some kind Judean bestowed upon them 32 loaves of bread. Upon reaching the Sahel, bounds of melons were discovered and the food situation was no longer a major concern. A temporary mine and underground base were constructed slightly north of modern day Wad Madani in order to afford a town. | [[Twomoo1119]] had initially joined the server upon the request of an online friend, CasualNuker, with whom he had played on another towny server that had died.

El Obeid began to rapidly expand within its first couple of weeks, seeking as much aid as possible from France and also becoming a colony of Austria Hungary to gain more aid. After a couple of weeks, El Obeid began to pursue its own nation after it became apparent that Wakanda would not work out well. Unfortunately, nation prices rose from 512 to 1024 during this period making the task much more difficult to accomplish. During this time, El Obeid joined the African Union and also joined and left the nation of Yemen a couple of times. | El Obeid began to rapidly expand within its first couple of weeks, seeking as much aid as possible from France and also becoming a colony of Austria Hungary to gain more aid.

On February 16th 2019, the nation of Sudan was founded. Sudan quickly attempted to secure its holdings by creating several towns towards its west, none of which lasted very long. An Nahud was the biggest of these with its ruins still visible today a bit west of El Obeid. [[Twomoo1119]] quickly got to work dissolving the [[African Union|AU]]’s democracy and inserting himself, along with the leaders of [[Oyo]] and [[Numidia]] as the Oligarchs of the [[African Union|AU]]. With the creation of Kebri Dehar, Sudan attempted to secure its control over Ethiopia and its Terracotta deposits however ran into disputes of the region with both Somalia, another African Union nation which formed around March 5th 2019 as well as the town of Tsana, which would later become the capital of [[Ethiopia (Imperial)|Ethiopia]] on March 18th 2019. Due to concerns over Somalia’s aggressively expansionist nature, Sudan backed the town of Nairobi in a slight border dispute. This escalated the issue far beyond what it needed to be however did put a stop to Somalia’s expansion in the region; despite this, Sudan did back down from the conflict. In addition, during this time, Sudan fought the town of Yap during the Siege of Nairobi, the first victory won by an entirely Sudanese force. Sudan then entered into a brief conflict with [[Ethiopia (Imperial)|Ethiopia]] which came out victorious managing to officially maintain control of its terracotta deposits. Following this conflict, many AU member states began to go inactive including Oyo, while Numidia joined the GRE. Both [[Ethiopia (Imperial)|Ethiopia]] and [[Somalia (Former)|Somalia]] began to shrink and Sudan was left as the dominant power in the region. Following this, Sudan turned inwards and began to focus on improving the capital, El Obeid, before [[twomoo1119]]’s temporary 3 week absence. | On February 16th 2019, the nation of Sudan was founded.
