Elren Deur

Elren Deur is a town located in Southwestern Abexilas, in the former country of Naan before its annexation by the Empire of Solge. It has become a refuge for some of Rathnir's Noxists.
== Recorded History ==
Elren Deur's exact origins are unknown, though the town was originally built as a squatter's shanty within Naan sometime around the year 365 TE. Not much is known about the town's original population whom seemingly vanished after only a year of settlement. It is believed that plague wiped out the town's original 18 inhabitants who have been buried in unmarked graves.
The town was eventually handed over to Luelwyn Gilroch by Zahrah Idazan, the last Tsar of Naan and mayor of Narrshundi in the year 370 TE after much of the town's original buildings were destroyed following a large sand storm.
The town underwent a makeover within the next decade, with Luelwyn ordering timber from southern Naan to be imported across the mesa and brought to the town, allowing for the reconstruction of the town's buildings and expansion of the town.
Since its founding, Elren Deur has become an active refuge for Rathnir's Noxists, a temple being built in the south of the town.
In 385, Luelwyn Gilroch was elected to Solge's Senate, bringing representation to the town at large.
== Etymology ==
Elren Deur translates to "Red Peak" in the Noxnorric language. Its name is similar to the old mountain stronghold of Vel Deur, which was built on high terrain and stood until the comet's impact in Ratham.
== Resource Exports ==
Elren Deur is the final town within Naan's mesa, the Scroom Desert lying beyond the town's rudimentary tree line. The town is on the sight of a natural water spring and has flourished agriculturally despite the dry environment, enjoying bountiful harvests of various vegetables and timber. The town's top three exports are potatoes, cacti, and bamboo. All of which are easily tenable flora not commonly grown near a desert.
The town has also become an exporter of Amethyst following the discovery of several Amethyst Geodes underneath the town.
== Archaeological Findings ==
Several dig sites have been selected for future archaeological ventures within the mountain Elren Deur sits on. It is believed that the story of the town's original inhabitants lies somewhere within those terracotta peaks.
