Munda is a small settlement in the dense jungle of the Mondego Lakes region. It is almost entirely surrounded by Ashannar, which calls it the "bca_ Containment Zone."

Etymology

Munda is the archaic, Hispano-Celtic word for Mondego and roughly translates to transparency, clarity, or purity. This word refers to both the lakes that surround Munda and to the waters that Mundans seek to bring forth from it.

History

The Sinkhole, one of the few locations still flooded due to the first Mondego flood.

Munda was first explored on the first day of the server, when bca_ passed through the Mondego Lakes region on her way to found the town of Anneimd in the far West. The location would remain largely untouched until the first Mondego flood, when large sections of the jungle were placed underwater, and the Sinkhole was flooded. The waters of the sinkhole now serve as the boundary between Ashennar and Munda territory. 

After the gods banished the waters, in May 2024 bca_ returned to the area to act as a base of operations for future flooding. Simultaneously, the people of Ashennar came to the area, settling in the region and constructing numerous structures. A verbal agreement was reached between Ashennar and Munda: as long as Mundans did not terraform beyond the island, Ashennar would allow them to exist in the region.

Geography

Munda is located on a jungle island on the boundary between the lakes of Small and Little Mondego. This island is artificially separated from the mainland by the remnants of the first Mondego flood.
