You might for example notice that [[Petrus]] once was called Perttu after one of the ddevelopers. ===Geographical information=== Attnam is a relatively small city located in a thick evergreen forest called Pertturia,where it acts as a capitol of the Holy Empire of Perttuania, that in turn controls allof the Isle of Perttuera and is the world's 324th biggest sovereign state. The city isphysically quite isolated from the rest of the world, but the citizens don't mind itall since almost all of them have high speed net connections. The oceanic coast is quitenear the border of the forest, however, and pilgrims wandering to the Cathedral andtraders delivering goods, luxury items and dolphin food for the clergy class are notentirely uncommon in Attnam. ===Nature=== Nature is close in everyday life of Attnam, because civilization ends completely nofurther than at the city gate (if it has ever even begun) and wilderness takes over.The city guards are obligated to keep the area inside the city wall safe, but outsidewolves, lynxes and wild bears may roam freely. Settlement of goblins, ogres and mutantschool food mushrooms are also common. Even Enner Beasts have been heard wailing inthe darkness that covers the forest, but they, of course, are killed with magicmissiles if they ever wander closer than 500 yards to the city, in order to preventstructural damage caused in the city. ===Sources of livelihood===

* [[Haathbar]] The citizens live mostly by hunting bears and such from the forest and whittlingsacred- looking items from wood that foreigners that seek truth and Valpuri's blessingfrom Attnam buy eagerly as holy relics. The public expenditures of the state, e.g.salaries of Überpriestial elite guards, cost of the enormous amounts of sacramentalCoke needed in the Cathedral and the Librarianprice of replenishing Perttu's slave staff andharem monthly,are funded almost entirely by a very wise man who will give you many useful tipsstate-owned valpurium mine located inthe tundra section of Perttuera.

* [[Hulbo]] Attnam and the shopkeeperEmpire of Perttuania are officially ruled by Valpuri the Great Frog andthe King of Gods, but since He is quite often absent when decision are made, His MostPious Überpriest acts as a messenger who delivers His orders to mortal men from godlyplanes. The Überpriest retains his position for his entire lifetime. When he dies, thenext leader is chosen immediately by the Valpuristic Conclave of High Priests, and isalmost always the one who killed the last Überpriest (although there seem to be someother, not so popularily known requirements for this crowning).

* [[Mirvo]] The former headquarters of the tailorEmpire were located up in the tundra area of Perttuerabut were eaten by a swarm of angry polar bears in 913 Anno Valpurus. Attnam was foundedin the next year, and, as can be well guessed by looking the map, its place was decidedrandomly by choosing the coordinates by dice-throwing.

* There are many light frogs The first building to rise in Attnam was the Cathedral, which yet today looms over thecity as a symbol of Valpuri's might. The Überpriest of that day used much of his mightymagical abilities to aid the building process and to protect it from the attacks ofwildeebeasts. So much that after the Cathedral and the city wall were finally up, hewas easily beaten in duel by Perttu, the cathedralnowaday Überpriest. These are unique Perttu moved to theCathedral immediately and started his reign by naming the country and all importantlandmarks (Attnam was not considered as such) inside its borders after himself. Andduring the following decades under his rule, Attnamhas gradually become what it istoday.
