Otofu (Monyo: Otofu /ʌtʌse/) is a subdistrict of Otoihofa Prefecture consisting of the quints of Hosimax, Farxa and Mikat. It is the most populated area of Yakormonyo and has served as the capital of the nation since its independence from Yahara in the 16th century.
Etymology
The name 'Otofu' came from the Old Monyo word ottöffu (wet), referring to its location in the mouth of the Otoihofa River.
History
16th Century
Before 1515, Öto Upu (what it was called then) was one of the northernmost towns in the Yaharan Empire, in the Duchy of Ësnvøërvërg. When the Empire broke up, Öto Upu and its surrounding towns of Repöča (Repoşota), Sämežxemí (Samejkhemy), Ítona (Ytona) and Vommä (Voma) declared their independence as the Duchy of Ësnvøërvërg, eventually followed by other towns in the Toşe region. Eventually Ësnvøërvërg was renamed to the Duchy of Otofu. It became the capital of Otofu until the nation united with the neighboring Duchy of Peccy (Pekha), wherein the capital was moved to Ony. On 1565, by order of Duke Otohua Samejkhemy, Oto Upu (renamed to Otofu) became the capital of the United Duchies of Peccy-Otofu. WIP
