Bogota: History of the Colonbian Region capital
In the year 1285 of the Kingdom, Bogota, the first Tartessian city ever built in the gigantic island of Colonbia, the westernmost and northernmost place to be settled by the peoples of the greatest nation in Europe, was being badly hit by a hard blizzard. That winter was being specially cold, and no one could get out of their homes without being buried in snow and frozen.
However, this didn't mean that all of them were isolated. Doing a great deal of work along the years, the small town of Bogota had mostly become underground, which gave the population protection from the extreme coldness, and their underground warehouses had lots of food - salted fish, oliva oil, wheat, whale meat - and enough wood to keep their rooms heated for the whole six months the coldness kept them there.
Very few people in the town died from coldness, in spite of what some people would think, and those would be because they made big mistakes like not making sure of being warm enough when leaving their rooms. However, children had lots of fun when winter came, as the adults would many times leave a chamber isolated and full of snow that the kids liked to throw at each other. There was also one chamber that kept the snow that was melted to have water, and the system to keep it full of snow yet isolating the city from the outside was quite ingenious: this chamber was at the end of a corridor, and when the first door of the corridor was opened, the windows that let the snow enter the chamber closed themselves, and next to the door between the corridor and the water-snow chamber there was a rope that closed the first door at a distance, thus stopping cold from entering the city.
In the year 1399 of the Kingdom, contact was lost with the cities of Colonbia, and Tartessos thought that all people in there would have died. However, this was not the case, as the underground cities were able to survive thanks to the system of artificial caves that had been excavated along the years, and by the summer of the year 1400 a messenger was sent to the near Isla del Hielo, informing that, save for a few people who were very old, all the inhabitants of Colonbia were perfectly well, save for a bit of undernourishment for the rationing they had been forced to implement.
Even today, the Colonbian people still live in the underground cities that their antecessors built so many years ago, although implemented with the most modern appliances...
OOC: That's right, they have not disappeared, they are only isolated! And I hope to see them back in the map ASAP!
