History
Foundation
Bague is a relatively new city. The city was founded in 1745 AN by the EANN under the name Brazzerville. Brazzerville was planned by Athils Valisson and intended to be the new capital of the EANN. Brazzerville was expected to be relatively small, built solely for the alleged purpose of government affairs, drug trafficking (especially the smuggling of Idunn apples), and the retreat of the army to warmer lands. Brazzerville was to have a population of 10,000. Functional structures included the EANN Presidential Palace, the KRM Command and garrison, dormitories, religious schools, a pavilion, the Ministry of Health building (a simple nursing barracks, of course), detached barracks, the so-called Vanic leaders' altar, a monument, and shower rooms. If this city were completed, Athils Valisson would become the new leader of the EANN. The heirs of a continent-spanning empire attempting to build a small town were a sign that this ideology had actually weakened over the years.
But the news from the Siege of Quimper was dire, and funds for the capital had to be cut to aid the front. Only government institutions such as the nursing facility, the unfinished garrison, and the Presidential Palace were built. When the town opened, it could only accommodate 1,000 people. Despite being summoned to the Siege of Quimper to protect his claim to the throne, Athils Valisson did not go. He remained in the palace until Karum was liberated. Towards the end of 1745, the town's inhabitants were cut off from the outside world and subjected to religious and military propaganda. According to the propaganda, Orton was dead, and the capture of Béthencourt was imminent.
1748 Brazzerville Chaos
After Karum's liberation was assured, Athils Valisson led the people to commit mass suicide with religious promises. The religious motivation was code-named Valhalla According to the religious motivation, there was no choice; the Freyu dynasty and Freyja awaited the townspeople in Valhalla. This death was far better than falling into the hands of the heretic Orton. He planned to make the townspeople drink a cocktail he called the Paradise of Idunn (mostly vodka, fruit, heavy doses of drugs, and poison). Athils then planned more hardcore deaths. A chaos in which everyone in the town drank the poisoned cocktail and then killed each other.
It is unknown when the chaos began; it is likely early November 1745 AN. The events are known only from the accounts of survivors. People drank the cocktail and began singing folk songs. The songs became increasingly horrific, and chaos erupted. People began to brutally kill each other, and the officers killed the residents before committing suicide by shooting themselves in the head. Athils Valisson fled the scene with two of his guards, but was killed by Hurmu drones near the Green border. Only twelve of the victims survived in the town; a few were forced to hide among the piles of corpses until things calmed down.
The victims were captured by armed troops on their way to surrender to the liberated city of Nerik. Hurmu troops arrived at the ghost town at the end of November. Clearing the mess proved very difficult for the troops. After clearing the scene and taking statements from the victims, they were then Statues and altars dedicated to former Storish leaders were smashed with sledgehammers, and then, when the necessary documents were collected from the so-called State Palace, the entire town was set on fire and abandoned again.
After chaos
Until 1748 AN, no one wanted to settle in the area. However, given the area's location, it was decided to reopen Brazzerville for settlement. To prevent such incidents from occurring again, the Lordship of Vermandois, Presbyterian, Catholic, and Orthodox churches consecrated the site. All the village's remains were destroyed. The Normandy law completed the settlement in less than two years, and in 1750 AN, Brazzerville was re-established under the new name Bague. Infrastructure problems persisted and were unlikely to be resolved quickly. By early 1751 AN, wrestlers had begun spreading the straight edge culture to the area, leading to the city of Bague being nicknamed The Punk Rules.
