The people of An Najaf are friendly and independent, yet they have a careful, not hostile view, on strangers. Past all early barriers, they are wonderful hosts, polite guests and treat all as their own family. Four times a year they hold feasts for a period of three days to honour the changing climate of each season. During these festivities, the central courtyard of their homes is occupied with a great huge fire used to burn all the disposables from the previous season. Leaves, used skins and much else are routinely burned during these festivals. Because of this, An Najaf has become known for the incomparable cleanliness of their homes, villages and general nature. Also during the festivals, there is much celebration and revelry to be found. The feasts are accompanied by drinking of new and old wines, imported beers and an [[East Continent/An Najaf/Elixer|unusual elixir]] only found in a grotto near the coast of An Najaf. Each festival has become popular for its own signature dishes and ornaments, representing the season it is celebrating.

Recent history of An Najaf has seen it as a central territory of many battles during the Fontan Civil War. It has switched hands many times and has seen many rulers come and go.  This has been a typical feature of An Najaf life, and has influenced the mentality of the population to create a region of people more self ruling as opposed to relying on overlords.

An Najaf is a prominent region of Fontan. One of the original lands ruled by the Democracy, it remains a standing example of the Fontanese Way.  
 
 
After the reign of Lord [[Carnes Family/Elberan Carnes|Elberan Carnes]], An Najaf became the main battleground in the Fontanese Civil War. It was used by the Confederates as their food supply. The land braced many battles and felt the deaths of many soldiers, but eventually it was won by the true Democrats. During its return to Fontan Major, Lord Duncan was put in as steward and tasked with returning the region to normalcy. His effort was needed as the elected Lord, [[Ironsides Family/Armstrong|Armstrong Ironsides]], was trapped in a dungeon in Domus. The Hero of Democracy became the Count after a minor setback and began to rehabilitate the tyrannized land.

The Region of An Najaf

Region description:

Geography

An Najaf is a rural region located at the coast, with a favourable climate. The land is quite flat and open. Only the northern borders with Viseu and Oporto provide a different sight with its many forests. The flat and open lands provide excellent space for wide farm lands, which is the main industry of this region.

Count Armstrong has taken the effort to build an exquisite Plantation near his estate, and it is quickly becoming another landmark of beauty in An Najaf.

People

The people of An Najaf are friendly and independent, yet they have a careful, not hostile view, on strangers. Past all early barriers, they are wonderful hosts, polite guests and treat all as their own family. Four times a year they hold feasts for a period of three days to honour the changing climate of each season. During these festivities, the central courtyard of their homes is occupied with a great huge fire used to burn all the disposables from the previous season. Leaves, used skins and much else are routinely burned during these festivals. Because of this, An Najaf has become known for the incomparable cleanliness of their homes, villages and general nature. Also during the festivals, there is much celebration and revelry to be found. The feasts are accompanied by drinking of new and old wines, imported beers and an unusual elixir only found in a grotto near the coast of An Najaf. Each festival has become popular for its own signature dishes and ornaments, representing the season it is celebrating.

History

An Najaf Historical Records

An Najaf is a prominent region of Fontan. One of the original lands ruled by the Democracy, it remains a standing example of the Fontanese Way.

Religion

Besides the local pagan faith, An Najaf pays its worship to the Flow of the Balance.

Military

There are a few infantry recruitment centres and one cavalry stable. The defence of An Najaf is under the prerogative of the Democracy of Fontan.

Culture

An Najaf’s wine is among the finest produced on the East Continent. Through patience and care, the soil has been developed to produce exquisite taste and perfect odour. There are few wineries in the region, each run by a noble family and each competing to be the region’s best wine. Moreover, while other regions sport many beeradiums, An Najaf is populated with cantina’s serving their splendid wines.

The creative minds of An Najaf continue to entertain the populace with parades and grand exhibitions during the four festivals. The usual manner of expression is through competition. Each festival will display a competition for best in a certain medium. Spring is often used for theatre, summer for athleticism, fall for music, and winter for food. These competitions produce wonderful shows and give the talented a reason to develop their skills. This has been a tradition of An Najaf for many centuries, said to have been first introduced by the Great Sage Pafizi.


An Najaf's Fall Festival of 23 September, 1008


The past two winning theatre performances were two plays written by Sir Ultor Amedes, who was a native of An Najaf and served as its knight. Manuscripts can be found here
