Aldina

Aldina is a city located on the island of Maronid in the Kern Sea, just off the Jadhai coast. It was founded at the beginning of the 1st century RM by colonists from Sirasona, as Gallat sought to extend its control south and block Seshweay merchants from encroaching on Sirasona's trade. For four centuries Aldina remained largely a subsidiary of Sirasona, remaining under that city's control when it broke away from the dying Gallatene empire. In RM 400 it was conquered by a force from the Farubaida o Caroha as part of the Farubaida's attempt to inject itself into the northern trade by force. Its new status as the Farubaida's northernmost outpost gave a fresh importance to Aldina, which became a vital fortress and naval base for the Farubaida in its various northern wars. The ill-fated Accan Expedition mustered at Aldina before sailing across the Kern to its destruction, and many naval skirmishes and battles were fought near the city in the course of the long contest between Acca and Caroha. In RM 727, during the War of the Second Feast, Aldina was captured by the Vellari High Prince Taracis, and repurposed as an Accan stronghold within spitting distance of the Aitahists of the Farubaida.
