Roanapur
Founded as an independent entity in the lands between the nations of Siam and Vietnam, Roanapur serves as an open port city and is surrounded by the remains of three yet unidentified ruins. Named after the fictional city of Roanapur from the show Black Lagoon, it is the hope of its founder LeoitoV2 that, unlike its fictional counterpart, Roanapur will not be known as an underground crime hub. Instead, it will, with all good fortune, be known as a beacon of development in the region.
History
Early History (December 4th, 2019 to present)
Establishment
Roanapur is founded at the tip of a large peninsula, debatably in the territory of either Siam or Vietnam. Chosen for its easy access to the shallows seas in the Gulf of Thailand and proximity to both China and India, this location would naturally lead to development occurring in the direction of the base of the peninsula.
Mass Clearing
As plans were developed for future structures, it became abundantly clear that more space, horizontally and vertically, would be required. The local flora proved to be the more difficult part of this phase, with the initial flattening of the peninsula going quite smoothly.
Laying Down the Foundation
With a fair degree of clearing out of the way, the foundation of what was to become a key structure in Roanapur's early history was laid: its two quarter-circle towers and the terraced farms that would surround them. This phase also saw the construction of the six arches that cross over the city's central path.
Allegiances Forged
On December 18th, Roanapur joined the Kingdom of Siam after consultation with its leader Fluxify I.
Buildings
As of present, only the preliminary work of clearing space and laying foundations is underway. As such, no buildings exist as of yet. Plans for future development include a hot springs, protective walls across the nearby bay and base of the peninsula, and two large, central towers.
