Knavobuki

Knavobuki Island.

Knavobuki (City) is the capital and most populous city of the Knavobuki Empire, which, as of now, consists of Knavobuki, Hatoki and Fulton. The Knavobuki Empire is located in the North West of The Shire, with Knavobuki City's coast touching the True Credence Sea. Knavobuki was a major settlement for early founders of the Shire, and was later reconstructed by two Mayors, Mayor Mieshoa and Mayor Rickard, who stumbled across the remains of the late city. The government of Knavobuki had formally been a major monarchy, but after its reconstruction by Mayors Mieshoa and Rickard, the monarchy was wiped out. However, after a recent poll taken by the residents of Knavobuki, many are still in favour of the monarchy, so it is unknown whether the monarchy will be brought back, mainly due to the fact that there is no direct heir to the throne and finding a favoured one would be hard and controversial. Even at Knavobuki's relatively small size, it is a leading city in the Shire, and is known for its major advancements in architecture and art, farming and agriculture, commerce and finances. It also has a relatively high GDP due to Knavobuki's large presence in trading with merchants from various different metropolises around the Shire.

History

Little is known about the history of Knavobuki, and it has remained mainly anonymous due to the fact that the city was wiped out in its early stages of development. However, during its reconstruction, evidence such as tapestries, diaries and newspapers have been found to formulate a foggy image of the history of the mysterious city.

It is thought that thousands of years ago, Queen Faith ruled the city of Knavobi, which later became known as Knavobuki. The exact years of her reign are largely unknown, since traditional Knavobians used a variety of complex and elaborate calendars to measure time. At the time, it is thought that today's Knavobuki Island was joined to the coast of the Knavobuki Mainland, and there was true unity. Knavobuki was also iconic at the time for its thriving flower industry, largely due to the fact that Knvobi had an abundant source of rare and expensive flowers which meant that merchants from other Empires were very willing to buy them. Knavobi also had easy access to the True Credence Sea which provided a passageway for trade and shipping. Evidence for Knavobi's common flower trade can be found illustrated on intricate tapestries and written of in diaries and other records.
