New Dorasterrock

New Dorasterrock is a large city in northwestern Bardonia, and the Bardonian state capital. The city is famous for its various battles and geopolitical events that have historically occurred there, chiefly among them the Battle of New Dorasterrock during the War of Southern Aggression. Due to its large size and influence over the world as a political entity, the city has garnered a reputation as the capital of Bardonia, taking pride in its place as the capital. 
The city of New Dorasterrock is the capital of the Bardonian Soldiers' Republic. It lays on the Ryzani border not far from the city of Carthya. It has served as the capital of the various Bardonian states since at least the Second Empire. 
== Etymology ==
New Dorasterrock's name is derived from the city of Dorasterrock or 'old Dorasterrock', located in Bardonia's east. Dorasterrock is derived from the prefix dor-, meaning 'new' in the old Dorasterrock civilization's language, and Asterrock, an ancient Jagdasian city-state once part of the old Cobalt Concord named after one Aster's Rock. The name New Dorasterrock therefore technically means "New New Aster's Rock". 
The city's tagline of "Once the Capital of the World" harkens back to previous Bardonian states, but in particular the Third Empire- when Bardonia was at its greatest extent. 
== History ==
The Battle of New Dorasterrock was a major battle of the Allium Coalition, which would see the fall of the city to Coalition forces.
Siege of New Dorasterrock took place after the Ryzani counterattack during the Second Westmarch Crisis, the city withheld the attack, but would see its leadership change following the battle with the resignation of control from Crezyman to Wrenbee.
Under the leadership of Wrenbee, the city would declare independence from the Sixth Empire of Bardonia and organise into the short-lived Republic of New Dorasterrock, sometimes called the Republic of Bardonia. The state would surrender to the Empire on terms of white peace and promise of no further attempts at secession shortly after the failed attack on Dorasterrock by Ryzani forces.
Following the Secession of Gurkum and the establishment of the 6th Republic of Bardonia, the city would be transferred to Fyn, who would join it to his rebellion. Despite the secession being unlawful, it would not be disputed by the Empire, and would result in the peaceful establishment of a new Bardonian state.
== Geography ==
The city is located between the East River and Flumenian River on the East Syltör Plain, a large area of temperate grasslands and open deciduous forests in east-central Syltör, and thus experiences a mild climate year-round. It receives snow in the winter, with temperatures averaging between -10 and -5 degrees Celsius; however, its summers are warm, around 30 degrees Celsius. To the city's south lie the Solanarian Mountains, a mountain range separating the Bardonian core territories from the Solanaria region.
== Culture ==
As New Dorasterrock became more popular by various knowledgeable individuals, the University of New Dorasterrock (UND) would come to be established. It would encourage fellow Bardonians to pursue their dreams, and with that, contribute into making New Dorasterrock a knowledge city.
