Arona

Arona is the capital of the Empire of Arlond, ruled by the Arnosian dynasty. It has been standing for 600 years, since King Arnall I's conquest.

Before Arnall's conquest, Arona was just a small settlement, known locally to the High Kings of Melar as Hairn Crag. It was a small but busy settlement, relying mostly on trade passing through the Narrow Strait. It was under the protection of Ingmar 'the Great', a local chieftain.

It was built next to the ruins of a once huge, ancient city, its name forgotten in the annals of time. Most of the structures belonging to this ancient realm had long since crumbled to dust, but a few here remained. Gargantuan pillars of marble could be found collapsed around the outskirts of the settlement. A rough layout of the foundations to a monument could be also found near the banks of the Narrow Strait.
