Bariti

Bariti was the capital city of Marlon, located along the Methis River. Divided by the river, the city bordered the Column Forest and was the site of the royal palace for the Marlon Royal Family. Throughout its history, it remained a political center for the nation.

History

Early History

Around the foundation of the Kingdom of Marlon, Bariti was made the capital of the new nation and the Marlon Castle was built on the western side of the city. As Marlon continued to war with Lioness, the city became a strategic point between the two countries. In the EC 100s, Princess Yufina Marlon married Prince Martius Beelzenia to secure the support of the Beelzenian Empire against Lioness, and the royal couple lived together in the capital.

Following Yufina and Karchess Crim's campaign to establish a legitimate Marlon dynasty, the two married and lived in the city. In June EC 311, the Conchita Family visited Bariti to meet with the Marlon Royal Family as part of the engagement between their daughter Banica and the Third Prince Carlos Marlon. Following these meetings, the engagement was broken off and the family departed.

Political Relations

In the late EC 400s, Prim Rogzé traveled to Bariti and married the bereaved King of Marlon and birthed Prince Kyle Marlon. At some point Queen Anne of Lucifenia visited the capital and arranged an engagement between Kyle and Princess Riliane. Later, in EC 494, the King of Marlon passed away; following this and an incident in which all of his illegitimate children were assassinated, Kyle Marlon ascended the throne as king.

During Lucifenia's war with Elphegort in EC 500, the officials of Marlon publicly decided to not support either side, and later rejected Lucifenia's request for aid suppressing their revolution. After the Lucifenia-Elphegort War, the Freezis Family moved to Bariti and took up residence in a vacant mansion, establishing the capital as the new center of the Freezis Firm. After the conclusion of the Lucifenian Revolution, Marlon incorporated Lucifenia into its territory under the governance of King Kyle and Queen Dowager Prim ruled Marlon from the capital.

New Management

In EC 505, King Kyle Marlon returned to the city and discovered the conspiracy set in place by Prim after meeting with Keel Freezis. In response he assembled an army of Marlon soldiers in the capital and set out for the town of Lioness to confront the Queen Dowager. After the battle on Castle Hedgehog, he returned to Bariti and continued governance of Marlon.

In EC 510, Kyle restored sovereignty to the Lucifenian territory and left Bariti while abdicating the throne, Arkatoir Marlon crowned king in his place. After the Freezis Foundation was established in EC 531, the organization set up headquarters in Bariti. When was the World Police was established in EC 573, the force also stationed its headquarters in the capital. After the death of Shaw Freezis on October, 17, EC 609, the entirety of the city dressed in mourning for days.

World's End

In EC 999, Bariti was completely decimated by Punishment. Following the end of the Third Period, the destruction site merged with the Hellish Yard along with the rest of the ground world.
