Bandung

Template:Basic Town TemplateBandung (also known as "Coordinates 0,0") is a town located in the Western part of the island of Java. It is the second biggest town in Java (after Wilwatikta) and the biggest in West Java.

It was founded by Tobias "Toby" Larone (TobyLaroned), an explorer of Indonesian descent as well as 3 of his followers; a writer and philosopher named Dr. Santos Muhammad Nickers (saintnickers), former dog-of-war Christian the Twelfth (Crys12) and e-boy HydraMPW

Bandung was founded on January of 2020 on the coast of South-West Java. It was founded on the ruins of an ancient Majapahit Temple dedicated to the God of destruction known as the "Dajal". It developed into a thriving agricultural settlement and the largest producer of smooth-stone in the region.

Unlike most cities, Bandung has extensive defensive systems that prevents it from being easily raided.

History

Age of Foundation

In Early January of 2020 after a series of expeditions documenting a city that was destroyed during the Chinese civil war in Northern China, Toby Larone sought an expedition into the former Majapahit controlled Island of Java where tales of abandoned cities and monasteries are abundant. Most notable of them being the ancient city of Bandung.

However, this trip is not without any series of misfortunes. For one, even before reaching the port of Pyongyang, Christian suffered a bout of stroke and thus exposing the travelling team to steppe raiders. However, the team managed to outrun and outmaneuver them in thick bushes of the Chinese heartlands. After crossing the straights of Okinawa the team was attacked again, this time by Filipino pirates.

It is here that an event that could only be explained as an act of God himself happened in which Toby Larone's boat was plunged into the ocean, yet he himself was unharmed. He then used this opportunity to escape the pirate's wrath. (His boat lagged out and he was stuck underwater but able to breath, allowing him to continue travelling out of sight of the map).

Later when the expedition arrived on the shores of Borneo, they were overcame by a sense of unfounded nostalgia and longing of their lost homeland. This proved detrimental as a reality breaking storm disconnected Toby Larone, causing them to be marooned. Eventually after regrouping at the Northern Shore of Java, the team trekked to the Southern Coast to find the lost city of Bandung. What they found instead, was an arcane temple dedicated to the Majapahit God of destruction, the "Dajal". The temple however had a strange allure to it, as after they arrived the series of calamities that have plagued them since the very start had ceased. Eventually, under Toby Larone's direction, the expedition decided to settle in the area and named it after the mythical city of Bandung.
