Bir Kofa

"Down the path from Kofa Gini lies Bir Kofa, a sanctuary where races intertwine and dreams converge. Here, amidst enchanting streets and diverse hearts, our unity defies the boundaries of worlds. We founded this town as a beacon of hope, and as long as our spirits endure, so shall Bir Kofa endure."
— Seraphine Stormrider, Founder - At Bir Kofa's First Town Hall

At the end of the path from The Kofa Gini, a lively town, welcomes visitors with its diverse population and rich history. The cityscape could house up to 40,000 people. The Kofa Gini's portal closure led to a population decline. Bir Kofa now hosts a population of 13,543 residents, spread across six districts. The streets of Everwind Avenue, Starfall Lane, and Crystalglow Road are always bustling with people, even as there are area that are completely empty. Fantasy races coexist in harmony within the community. This unique society comprised contributions from Elves, Human, Dwarves, and various other races. For 40,000 years, the potent Adana Sihiri Crystals have sustained a magical barrier, which was created by the first Elvondur Triumvirate. This magical barrier has safeguarded the town, even though the portal has been closed.

History

During the portal's active years, Bir Kofa's history began. It was founded by three visionaries 143 years after the portal opened and the history of the world began. These three visionaries:

Kaelen Stoneforge, the stalwart Dwarven blacksmith, whose craftsmanship shaped the town's architecture
Seraphena Stormrider, the Half-Elf Abalindi Beholo, renown for mastery of arcane knowledge
Alindra Moonshadow, the Elven scholar and diplomat, whose charisma and wisdom united the founding members

These esteemed founders, formed the first Elvondur Triumvirate and started the ruling houses of Bir Kofa. They played a pivotal role in the city's establishment. The portal's lured visitors and brought about a period of growth and prosperity. Following the explosive closing of the portal 40,000 years ago, many of the isolated island's inhabitants departed in search of fresh prospects. The Kofa Gini caused much conflict and struggle over the centuries. Various countries and organizations have attempted to claim it. This left the town with a lasting sense of resilience.
