Albora

Albora (Éspinasija: Ըλβοրα), also referred to as New Auxe, was the capital of Valore and later capital of the province of Calador in the Raiyuna Tszunare in Katsura, Eldham. It was located in the Leilani fields, and was the most populous city in Valore. The city was heavily inspired after New York City, and also takes inspiration from Spanish and French buildings. The city was extremely well planned and has a good history of mayoral dedication. It is known by its nicknames Albora (the original name of the city), The City of Terracotta, for the large amount of Terracotta used in its buildings, and New Auxe (the name of the township under Valore). The iconic "Cottastones" are the most defining buildings of the cityscape, covering it a good amount of the city. When Mecr Akurai acquired the fief, great architectural advancement was made with the construction of new districts outside of the original Leilani village; and Mecr cemented Akurai control of the city until the end of Eldham. 
== Etymology ==
Albora has a few possibly etymological origins, there is no clear root for the town's name. The old name of Leilani Village originated from the cultural group that formed there, whilst the name Albora was formed from either alboa meaning "dawn" in Éspinasija, or a compound of abo and ora, meaning "tree" and "river". Modern Leilani etymologists have decided that it is a bit of both, being a compound of alboa and ora, resulting in "dawn river", which might also be the origins of the Albora River (also known as Eriora or Apusuku in Yaszumatti) that ran through Albora.
== History ==
Records pre-Qwe'tsn are not widely available due to lost translation of clay tablets, but modern Leilani historians speculate that the original Leilani fields settlement was made by an indigenous people called the Iridani, it is unknown when these people first settled Calador but it was far earlier than the Qwe'tsn Imperial arrival.
