History
The city of Angbad was once a prosperous merchant village in the remote countryside, it was ruled by the merchant lord Hannibal. As its numbers grew so did the cost of maintaining such a grand city. Vagrants roamed the streets brandishing dangerous weapons. Without established marshalls patroling the streets anarchy soon reigned the day. Soon travelers were being turned away from the gates for their own protection. The city grew stagnant as trade began to die off. Packs of children could be seen wandering the streets. The few attempts at organization soon fell to the wayside as no clear leader had emerged. A few rebellious warriors, after much deliberation and inaction finally decided enough was enough. Confronting the reigning lord with the knowledge and ability of how a city should be run. Quietly he disappeared leaving the warriors in control of the city.
"Angbad shall be no more. Its name does not fit with who we are. Tacompton our name shall be, and Castle Chumpenstien shall reign over it, until you the people see fit to crown new leaders."
And so Aleksii Von Chumpenstien came into power, with his associate Dr. Kanon D. Chumpenstien PhD as his scribe as well as the royal vizier, Neek the Sneak as advisor on crime and knavery. Tor the Berzerk Crusader as the official on all things holy, and Rauko the grizzled veteran from the North to assist in various capacities of maintaining a city. So have they reigned for years. Holding elections every year to show that Tacompton shall never be a monarchy or be ruled by a despot.
Stories still surface about Hannibal from recent travelers that he is still selling his wares from his encampment in the woods. And has even begun to build it into a new city.
In recent years the Great Civil Uprising has taken its toll upon Tacompton. There are those believe that Aleksii let power go to his head and that they were truly under a despot. Yet there were also those who believed that he was a benevolent ,if a bit too reckless, ruler. No blood was shed, but fighting did occur and more than a few people decided that the time to leave Tacompton had arisen. The OG's (as the council of advisors was now known as) wished those who left the best of luck and that hopefully they would find what it was they were looking for.
Having discovered various lands in thier travels and wishing to garner a friendship with the neighboring countries Kanon took up the mantle of Ambassador and moved to the Babylonian outpost of Cronus.
