Codgele

Codgele is a realm on Ucharpli. It is located on the continent of Kytayur and was a major frontier land. It was one of the last major areas to be colonized during the Third Era.

Geography
Being directly south of the Yolpika mountains, the terrain of Codgele is mostly rugged with a desert climate. Much unlike the Great Sculpting Field in Yallvus, this desert is booming with all sorts of life on the surface. There are forests of cactus trees scattered all throughout. The area was rich in both gold and petroleum making it a competitive frontier land between Yallvus and the Spasonites.

Heroes' Faces
Four faces depicting famous Dhragolon heroes are carved into the side of a mountain. One of them is Rustiagon Dralla while the others are currently unknown at this time.

Government
Codgele today follows a democracy. It is broken up into townships each led by a mayor while a president takes serves to make decisions for the entire country.

Culture
Until the Yallvusian Union's complete take over of the world, Codgele was conquered by the Spasons after being colonized for about 150 years. Thus, the people of Codgele have a similar steampunk culture as their native counterparts.

Males in Codgele society tend to carry a pistol wherever they go stemming from the poorly enforced laws of the original colonies. Friendly duels are common, though blanks are used of course.

History
There were three main cultures in this region. The natives to this area originated from Mt. Windhill and built cliffside villages. They generaly remained locked with a tribal culture and never rose to the technology as many other realms did. Much of the western coast was settled by Spason while the east was taken by Yallvus. Much like the fate of the people of Islerfia, the native Codgele people were driven into submission though they are still around today in native reserves.

Many colonial settlements were boom towns, areas that very literally sprung up overnight. Most of these towns were governed by a sheriff and a deputy. Any breaches in the law were handled directly making gunfights and duels extremely common. Historians also explain the reason for these fights was mostly due to territorial disputes as well as the rush for gold.

Today, the struggle for gold has for the most part ended with worlds such as Jaran being discovered. Citizens no longer live in fear of being shot at...for the most part.
