The City of Daenshore has had a turbulent history since its foundation, but with more emphasis in recent years due to social upheaval and questionable leadership. The city began as nothing more than a hidden cluster of escaped slave tents and shacks, just bordering the water in the jungles of [[Daendroc]]. Ultimately, their settlement was the first to successfully break away from the local, then super-princedom of [[Bastierra]], and became a bastion of resistance. They only climbed up from there, helping others break away and forming the heartland of [[Daendroque]] culture in their towns and Daenshore itself. It joined the Regalian Empire in 217 AC, but there were immediate problems which have been carried into the modern-day. The Regalian leadership of the city was tone-deaf to the local opinions and expertise of the Daen people, which lead to shortages of supplies and thus rises in crime. Following the Chrysant War, work issues were also a major problem as loggers depleted the forests around the port. Subsequently, many had to travel to Caslin or Bastierra for work, breeding a generation of young men, lacking proper father figures, who turned to crime. In recent years, the city has fallen into hard times, first following the [[Anahera Dictatorship]] as the pro and anti-Regalia factions battled, and now, in the post-[[Bone Horror Crisis]] landscape of their continent. The once prestigious port is lacking the capacity it once had, though order within the city has now been restored, however, thanks to fear, social pressure, and the criminal elements generally being all dead or fleeing to more fruitful regions. While much of the city was once pristine, a beautiful example of Daendroque architecture and design principles, many outlying areas are now in ruins while structures deeper into the city are in bad need of repair.

While much of the city was once pristine, a beautiful example of Daendroque architecture and design principles, many outlying areas are now in ruins while structures deeper into the city are in bad need of repair. However, one outlying structure has largely avoided destruction and retains the old Daenshore beauty, that being the Fonseca Estate where the [[School of Mariposa]] is based from. The city as a whole is also notable for its prestigious press houses, which craft books that hundreds read every day. | ||
