Býnhafý

Býnhafý, or Býn-Avï, was an Ökghaaŋðian city and one of the two earliest in the Ðýmóš Plains alongside Ðóš-Avï. It was situated adjacent to the Volain Forest and southeast of the eastern fork of the Kairn River System. During the Alëhadic Expedition, the city became a valuable souce of wood, vines, and other construction materials, and was used to supplement the creation of what would become the Palïŋ-Lhrúuŋðarr. Following the Expedition's departure in 25019 AYM, the tribe of Lrhúuŋðarr was proclaimed across all cities in the Plains and along the Palïŋ-Lhrúuŋðarr. However, following the neglect of Býnhafý and other eastern cities during the First Ýlëntukian War of 25020-25003 AYM, the Pact of the Palïŋ-Lhrúuŋðarr was signed in 24996 AYM, creating the separate tribe of Ökghaaŋðarr, under whose jurisdiction the city of Býnhafý has been for the majority of its lifetime.

History

Býnhafý, originally called Býn-Avï, was founded alongside Ðóš-Avï between 25025 and 25021 AYM. This comprises the historical blind spot between the extremely successful Wýðúric and Khýnýšic Expeditions of 25026-25 AYM and the Alëhadic Expedition of 25021 AYM.

The motive behind the settlement of the Ðýmóš Plains, much less the founding of the two cities, did not involve the Plains at all. The earlier Wýðúric and Khýnýšic Expeditions both involved the northern Amoŋot Desert, which subsequently received a massive influx of settlers which appears to have numbered anywhere from 18,000 to 22,000 by 25021 AYM. The preferred path to this popular region was through the Kairn River System, which was centered around the Ŋópïŋ-Arún-Khërn, or the fork of the Kairn River. The left fork was the route to the desert, but the right fork led to the Plains. In the many instances of emigration along the River, it seems plausible that the very first settlers of the Plains did not arrive on purpose, but took the wrong fork while attempting to settler in the Desert.
