Taladhurach

The isle of Taladhurach lies in the west of the Astyllean Sea, near the coast of Aldovir. It is the most southern town of not only the Anrat of Adavia and Galadonn but also the whole Empire of Yimmu-Audal. The name Taladhurach translates from Ádávírí to "Isle of Parrots". In general parrots play a big role on the island and are being worshipped as holy animals. The primary function of the isle used to be to defend the southern coast of Aldovir, in particular Adavia, from the Tortugan Piracy in the South as well as to secure trade routes in the region. After it started with just a small fort in the east of the island Taladhurach is now home to medium sized town and stands nowadays as and Adavian Stronghold in the western Astyllean Sea and as the South reach of Yimmu-Audal. 
== History ==
=== Early history ===
Taladhurach was firstly discovered by Sagavirian sailors which quickly found out that the island was only inhabitated by Parrots and therefore gave it the name "Isle of the Parrots", which than later would be translated into Ádávírí when Adavia acquired the island. 
Altough the island had been already discovered early on it would take more time until the first permanent settelment would be founded. The first settelment, as it turned out, would become a fort at the eastern tip of the the island established by traders of the region in order to protect the regions trade routes and the near by southern Aldovirian Coast from the Piracy originating in the Tortuga, just south of Taladhurach. 
After the marines of the nations in the region became stronger and stronger and the amount of Piracy decreased drastically the fort lost in importance and was only partly used. Instead a town also by the name of Taladhurach was founded in the middle of the island and it became an important key point for the trade between various nations. 
Later on the Mistic Market was established which would bring an economic rise to the town. It was also at that time when the island would become a part of the nation Teratin. 
After the mistic market was at first tremendously success the demand for the goods which the mistic market sold decreased which would lead ultimately to the closing of the market. This lethal closing and the fact that Teratin already had lots of people leaving for better opportunities elsewhere lead to the eventual dissolution of Teratin and Twerkish, which than were partitioned between the Kingdom of Galadonn, TEK and Tortuga, with Adavia (Galadonn) receiving the island of Taladhurach.
=== Recreation under ErnstVenIshtara ===
Quickly after the the transfer of sovereignty of Taladhurach, Adavian officals came to the island to inspect in what condition it was in. Immediately it became clear that Taladhurach was in a disastrous state, with the lots of houses in dager of collapsing, rotten wood all over the island and stone fortifications crumbling. At that point everyone knew that only a complete renovation could save this place from falling into in meaninglessness and absence. After carefully looking out for someone to do the job, the Anrem of Adavia appointed ErnstVenIshtara as the new mayor (or as it is called in Advia: Archivate) of Taladhurach.
Ernst would than rapidly start renovating the whole island and would bring new life into it. Starting with Renovating the Fort which is still in progress.
