== Overview ==
== Founding and Layout ==


Cangrejos held a dominant position in Zothique's political landscape, self-styled as '''SPQR''' (Senatus Populusque Cangrejos, after the Roman Senate). The Cangrejos Trust maintained virtually all major Nether infrastructure, with construction dates stamped on maintenance signs across the network between 2016–2017. A '''First Bank of Cangrejos''' handled inter-city currency exchange, and the city maintained an active '''Metro''' system, shopping district, casino, nightclub, and public radio station.
felixdeportu founded Cangrejos circa 2015. The city's core is anchored by the '''Town Plaza''' (~486, 70, 1863), with '''Club Alexandria''', '''Koryo Casino''', and a hotel occupying the central district (r.0.3). The '''Shopping Districts North and South''' in r.1.4 form the commercial heart, including theoubre's enchanted goods stalls and tiered Mending books (Tier 6 = 9 diamonds).


Cangrejos is connected by underground rail north to [[The Oasis]] and [[Desovar]], and south to further city-states. Its territory marker was observed as far west as approximately x:2 in the overworld (1reland border at ~2, 78, 1908).
== Cangrejos Trust ==
 
The '''Cangrejos Trust''' was the city's infrastructure arm, responsible for constructing and maintaining the nether rail network that connected most of Zothique's major cities between 2016 and 2017. Stamped construction dates: Purpur Line (May 11, 2016), NRTH Hub Connection (October 16, 2016), Mystery Way (January 5, 2017), Ryan Mesa Way (March 3, 2017).
