Eskelball officially the City of Eskelball is a Patagonian cityball. He is one of the few remaining bastions of conservatism in Patagoniaball, others being Saint Martinball, Port Aysenball, Nuwe Oranjeball and Fort Cochraneball (OTL San Martin de los Andes, Puerto Aysen and Cochrane respectively).
He is the 2nd-largest city in the state of Andina, and aside from its conservatism, he is known for its mining fanaticism, and his infestation by railfans. Eskel often calls itself the "City of Hard Work", and the city lives up to its name, with it being the most hard-working city in Patagoniaball.
History
The founding of the town dates back to the arrival of Welsh immigrants in Chubut in 1815. The settlement was created on 25 February 1856 before the Forest Scots arrived to settle there. The city, the main town of the area, is located by the Esquel Stream and surrounded by the mountains Mount La Zeta, Mount La Cruz, Twenty-One Hills and Mount La Hoya. Mount La Hoya is known as a ski resort with good quality snow right through the spring. The Los Alerces National Park is 50 km (31 mi) northwest of the city.
An important tourist attraction is the narrow-gauge railway (with 750 mm (30 in) between the rails), known as The Old Patagonian Express after the book The Old Patagonian Express by Paul Theroux. At 402 km (250 mi) in length, it is said to be the only narrow-gauge long-distance line in operation and the southernmost steam-powered railway in the world. The first fifty oil-fired steam locomotives were made by Henschel & Son of Germany in 1922. Later twenty-five locomotives were bought from the Baldwin Locomotive Works of Philadelphia.
The train remains authentic and in operation thanks to the effort of the team of workers at the Locomotive Preservation Society that make several parts by hand. Trains now run as a tourist excursion between Eskel and the suburb of Nahuelpan, located at the foot of the volcano of the same name, with other services all the way to Innsbrooke. Until 1993, the train ran all the way to the city of Jacobacci in central Andina, from where trains ran to Viedma, Rio Negro and from there to the border town of Pedro Luro, forming the North Patagonian Railway.
Personality
Eskelball is a very hard-working countryball and runs a mine from which assorted minerals are extracted. While he does half of the mining himself, he still tends to boss everyone around (except for his mother). Eskelball is thus considered unfair by his workers due to their somewhat hellish treatment of them, his attitude towards his mother notwithstanding.
He invites some of his friends over to his mine but he ultimately betrays them by making him his servants/mine workers. Sometimes Eskelball resorts to outright brainwashing them to do his bidding without consequence, using his hypnotic hard hats to do so.
