Umm al Asufli

The name translates to “Mother of Nether”, as it is heavily inlaid with nether bricks.

Salah founded the settlement in 14/12/2013. The location was chosen due to it's desert biome and remoteness. The center of the settlement is the glassed lava pool which sprouted mysteriously.

The cacti were properly uprooted for no american plants shall dwell in it. There are 3 lava pools and a lava mountain, Jabal al Nar. The desert settlement borders Tur-del-Achbad (Breshik) to the northwest, the Alder Sea to the east and Elkkutown to the south. Lava rivers crisscross the desert.

Umm-al-asufli exports nether quartz and glowstone and imports iron, gold, diamonds etc. Due to recent liberation, and the treaty signed between the prime minister Salah and the LDF, the settlement exports oil in exchange for foreign currency.

In 2/4/2015 the settlement gained the status of citystate when crys14 and zikada joined. The settlement is the second ever city state and the first that actually looks like one.

Two gates lay to the south and east, sand made. Mijdal al Hilal protrudes to the sky, an ancient pillar built by the endermen of the desert in hope they will repatriate to the End. Burj al Babil is a tower outlooking Elkkutown. The tower was built by the nether dwellers who were teleported into Umm-al-asufli, the chunk of a nether cave they were in stands mere blocks from the tower. A netherbricked room constructed on a dune functions as the parliament building, the ballot room, the supreme court, the cabinet and the police HQ. This temple of elevation connects to alpha realm, it was created when several zombie-pigs elevated into a higher state of consciousness and rose above the ceiling. Al-Maqdis Al-Baqara, the temple of the cow, was erected after the unexpected arrival of the Red Cow following the 1.8 update. It serves as a place of worship for the local yevs.

Due to it's many unnatural occurrences, Umm al Asufli, is a desert of spirituality. Endermen, zombie pigmen and yevs wander freely and congregate in their temples. It is not uncommon for a portal to spontaneously open and teleport a denizen or introduce a creature from other worlds.
