Etymology

The name Jalsatyń comes from the Qazan words Jala, meaning "safe" and Satyń, meaning "city". The nickname Jasa is a shortened form of "Jalsatyń" used in slang, and Qaafma is the old name for Jalsatyń. The name Qaafma is a combination of two Qazan words - Qaaz - the old demonym for Qazan and hafma - a loanword from Classical Letsatian meaning "place". The oldest name for Jalsatyń was Kadvača, formed using kadva which was derived from kad(v), a loan from Old South Bavkiri kad(y) meaning to bless and the suffix -ča/če meaning place.

History

Formation

Jalsatyń was formed in 482 AD under the name Kadvača (from Kadva meaning blessing and ča meaning place). Kadvača was known for farming and baking. In 742 AD the Tarbuč family ruled over East Khaazland, and designated the capital to be Kadvača. During its reign, a trade route from Kadvača to Jigek along with trade routes to Central and West Khaazland were established, and Kadvača became a trade centre and flourished. It was also at this time that Kaazist and Devotionist temples and monasteries were beginning to appear in the city. This period came to an end when the entirety of the Tarbuč family died in a shipwreck when trying to sail from the North of Khaazland to the South.

Yeret Dynasty

After the end of Tarbuč rule, several elite families fought for the throne, with numerous battles occuring near Kadvača or in Kadvača. Eventually, there were only two elite families that rose to power in East Khaazland. - the Yeret in the East and the Gunsu in the West(Central Khaazland). During this time, important monasteries and churches were founded, such as Jet's House of Prayer, the Jalqaýyfśa and the Qarqaýyfśa. Qaldaý's Holy Gateway, known as The Kadvača Gate was one of the main fortifications of Kadvača throughout the Dynasty, and had defended the city from multiple Bavkir raids. The Yeret rule came to an end when the Qaldic Empire from West Khaazland conquered the city in March of 1293.

Cityscape

An aerial view of Jalsatyń

The architecture Jalsatyń is composed of a mix between old and new architecture, with most of its buildings being built around the late 19th and early 20th century. Not long after the Mwamban occupation of Qazania, tourism was prioritised along with economy in the city, and efforts were made to design the city to appeal to tourists. Of the landmarks, the Jet's House of Prayer and the Jalqaýyfśa were strong candidates for becoming the city centre of Jalsatyń, but ultimately the Independence Square of Qazania became the most popular destination in Jalsatyń and hence became Jalsatyń's city centre. Around the same time, residential buildings were built alongside the older buildings of Jalsatyń, giving the city its notable mix of old and new architecture. High class hotels and restaurants were also built in the centre of Jalsatyń and historic areas of the city became popular locations for street vendors.
