Slidon

Slidon is a small town in southeast Gabrainn, perched on the northern foothills of the Dale Hills. Mainly a farming town, Slidon's main exports (wool, mutton and lamb) are of very high quality, and are carted to Ducsport and from there shipped all over the Trade Lake.
== History ==
Slidon was founded during the Age of Migration by the settlers of the cog Baedan, under its captain Niall mac Eochada. Over time the town grew, and while it was never part of a formal state before the Great Gap, it was a bustling pastoral town and part of the loose federation of towns which would later become known as Faramond. 
Shortly before the Gap, the local businessman Laois mac Flannghaile opened a trading business in the town, specialising in export of Slidon's wool and lamb to the warring states of Sardan to the east, and also transporting spices and silk from Sardan to Ducsport where it was distributed throughout the Trade Lake.
After the Gap, Faramond had formalised into a real Kingdom, and Slidon had become the domain of the Counts mac Daibheid. This county was subject to the Duke of Trablarney, who was subject to the King.
Slidon remained in this state for two hundred years. The Counts mac Daibheid gave way to the Counts O Caonroi, and them to the Counts mac Giolla Cathal. In 645, Count Niall mac Giolla Cathal chose to follow Duke Diomanh O Cailin in seceding from Faramond to form the Kingdom of Gabrainn.
The town first faced invaders in 762, when the main armies of Lacrive and Scanbrough met in Slidon to organise the occupation of Gabrainn. Since then, Slidon has been occupied by Armsman Wanteley of Demsforde. Count Ferghal mac Giolla Cathal is currently leading the town's levies in Dunfleasel, as part of the King's army.Category:Settlements
