Phlem (Rolipoon)

Founded on 22 Bloom 246 GE, after the demons had been mostly driven from the region, the settlement of Rolipoon, was built by Tragaran soldiers that had once served under Lukoon. Veterans of the Krotoan, they sent out patrols looking for any demons left behind with Graz'zt's defeat in the Tha'lith Front (153 GE - 176 GE).

In 9420 GE, with the help of druids in service to Silvanus, a project begins with beating the Gurutharni jungle outwards behind canals and farmlands. Into the Lith-Crillion Era, this effort turns Rolipoon into a breadbasket for the region, bringing security, trade and civilization to the wilds for hundreds of miles.

In 446 LE, the town of Thur Gilc, Rolipoon, and lesser holds came together under the first Tragaran nation state of Tilnangau.

In 944 LE, rather than see the city sacked by a demon horde, Rolipoon surrenders to Varelay (684 LE - 2620 LE).

In the Varelay Upheaval (2608 LE - 16 HE), with great earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, the landscape shifting, half of the city is submerged in the Styming.

Halfway into the Horgon Era, an overgrown ruin, Rolipoon became the home of the Lothrapha. A Vedrii tribe, occupying a city-sized half-submerged ruin, they named their little part, the village of Phlem.

After the fall of Lothrâpha, Phlem and the greater ruin around it, returned to being a refuge for beasts and monsters. In the First Epoch, the yuan-ti home to the Gurutharni Swamp and lake Styming made the ruin their home. After many conflicts between the two sides, in the Second Epoch, Phlem became the capital of Empire of Malshirk'iss.

Phlem is a large city with ruins stretching deep into the jungles and swamps that surround it. The eastern part of the city descends into the waters of lake Styming. The most notable features of the upper city are its towering ziggurats. Some of these monolithic structures are visible high above the jungle canopy and defy imagination in their grandeur and splendor.
