Cúamwan

Cúamwan is the first, largest, and currently oldest settlement in the Viceroyalty of Isilûnde, the Aurlûnor Velande's colony in Sinawendor (Eldham). 
== Meaning ==
The name comes from Aurlûnoren cúam wān (parzi: 月灣), meaning "Crescent Bay" or "Moon Bay". This is due to the shape of the local coastline on a map.
Though it is colloquially referred to as "cum-wan" due to the very mature sense of humor held by the players of the server, including the Velande's own, the "c" at the beginning of the name is a /tsʰ/ sound, similar to the ts in "ants" but more aspirated, and not a /k/. "Tswem-won" is a close approximation in English orthography.
== History ==
The town was founded on June 6th, 2021 by a group assembled from various parts of the Velande. As such, the town is a cultural melting pot of various groups which would remain otherwise disparate within their own distinct lands in the Rathnir mainland. 
The first settlers would begin farming, fishing, and clearing land, building a dock at the city's natural harbor for easier access from ships, and logging/tree farming. They were often bothered by native raiders as well as the unpredictable indigenous kingdom of Jabal. 
Currently construction of a massive Treasure Ship has begun in the colony, and plans for a fort constructed on the nearby hills have been suggested; however, they have not been floated.
