Akuutengen, also known as The New Blood, is a vibrant city in the Lake Federation, founded by veterans of the Great Incursion in 1443. It is a melting pot of different cultures, funded largely by the pensions of its residents, and known for its picturesque scenery and quiet backwoods.
History[]
The founding of Akuutengen in 1443 was a response to the turmoil and destruction of the Great Incursion, as veterans sought to create a new community where they could start over and live out their retirement years in peace. The land used to create Akuutengen was taken from Länkuuhsta and Vahjevgiiv, being punished by the newly organized Lake Federation for their earlier conquests. The only settlements at the time in the area were the copper and tin mines formerly owned by Länkuuhsta, though once the land was lost the inhabitants abandoned the sites. Once founded, Akuutengen was in a precarious position, wedged between the two cities whose former land the city was built on.
Akuutengen relied on diplomacy and alliances to remain independent and establish roots in the region. With its peaceful setting and moderate climate, Akuutengen quickly became a popular destination for retirees from across the federation, who were drawn to the city's serene atmosphere and welcoming community.
Economy[]
While Akuutengen is primarily known for its retirement villas and real estate, it has also developed a thriving tourism industry, with visitors coming from all over the world to explore its natural beauty and unique culture. From hiking and fishing in the nearby mountains to enjoying the local cuisine and traditional music. As Akuutengen continues to grow and evolve, it remains committed to its core values of community, innovation, and sustainability.
Military[]
Akuutengen was founded by veterans of the Great Incursion, and so the people there grew an identity of always being ready to defend their homeland. The legacy of the founders of the city also led to a more disciplined army, useful for the extra coordination required when the widespread use of gunpowder arose. With the city having been founded on plains, the city herded horses and incorporated them as a large part of their military.
