It is situated at the center of Savernia, encompassing the western shores of the bay. The town was build upon the remnants of Worrikstead, an old goblin town build by Worrik Yusha.
== History ==
The town of Volandia was founded by Emperor Duck, under the name Ducklandia. He arrived on this part of the land and stumbled upon ruins of a previous town Worrikstead. The most intact building left, the temple, became the new center of what is now known as the new town.
The central position, close to the sea and with plenty of fertile soil in the vicinity, made sure that lots of people joined the town. This way Volandia quickly grew both in size and strength. This rapid expansion was then noticed by the neighboring ruler of Savernia. Soon after, diplomatic conversation started between both parties and they made an agreement in which Volandia would join the Kingdom of Savernia.
Together with the rise of people in the town, which would no longer be seen as a town but as a city, the opportunities for conflicts arose. Historical differences between the ruling class resurfaced. And not soon after, the Savernian rulers were called to stabilize the situation. This started a period of uncertainty for the citizens of the Volandia. In which multiple people were thrown out of Volandia, never to return again. Afterwards a change of leadership, made the dust settle and started a period of peace.
After the peace has returned to Volandia, some squatters arose at the east side of the town. The citizens and Savernian landowners weren't happy with this event. After the squatters did multiple hostile raids on the town, Savernia declared war on the squatters to get them of the land. The war was swiftly won, with almost no losses at the attacking side.
When the squatters were dealt with, and Volandia growing bigger and bigger. The decision was made to incorporate the northwestern neighboring fort Greengate into the town. Together with this considerable expansion, the name of the city was officially changed from Ducklandia to Volandia after a vote has been done by its citizens.
