Tanqutařa

Ťanquťara ( Pepetoka pronounciation: Pepetoka language), also known as New Copperport or Hyld Copperport a city within the Reyang Peninsula, nominally an independent city-state, but in reality a Gabyrian colony ever since the Second Spice War.

Ancient Ťanquťara
Ťanquťara was established in 433 BEKE, and quickly became a city of trade. It was a member of the Quriya League ever since the city was founded, and it quickly rose to prominence in the region at the expense of its neighbours, which kept bickering among each other.

Comteporary Ťanquťara - New Copperport
During the First Spice War, a plague broke out in Ťanquťara, and during the Second Spice War, the city was sacked, and a notable amount of the city's population was killed or enslaved, with much of its wealth looted. After the war, the city became the Gabyrians' main base of operations in the region, and thus the most important pro-Gabyrian port-city. Almost immediately following the war, the city began to see an influx of immigrants from the Occident, most notably Etrand. such as the infamous Morshu the Magnificent - in addition to the indigenous Pepetoka, the city became home to thousands of Humans, as well as a smaller number of Nereids, Elves, Orcs, Goblins, Dwarves and Gnomes. That was when the city received its unofficial nickname "New Copperport", reflecting on its newfound diversity.

Even though the city was rebuilt after the devastation of the first two Spice Wars, not all was well: many of the aforementioned Human migrants - especially landless nobles seeking to play conquistador and carve out estates worked by Pepetoka slaves - were unsavory sorts of people eager to turn to banditry. Just like every other Gabyrian-controlled city, New Copperport became a free port, allowing an uncontrolled flow of goods deemed illegal in other countries, turning the once lawful and sparkling city into a de facto smuggler's den.
