Lédaqor

== The City ==
The mountain stronghold. Located at the base of a mountain, Lédaqor was and still is the military powerhouse of the region. The second largest city in K’iltrón, it is also located near the forest where the lèden trees grow. Its high vantage point and the surrounding foothills make it a key location for defense. It is located near the source of the Ísleat River. Rumor has it that back in the days of city-states, an ancient king threatened to poison the source of the river, which ultimately flows through what are now some of the most populated cities in the kingdom.
Now things are much quieter and Lédaqor is shifting in nature to a town of crafting prestige. Artisans make intricate, beautiful, and incredibly well-crafted arms and armor. Various fighting styles are also now practiced more as an art form, a deadly dance of sorts. Each year a festival is held in late spring to celebrate the various arts of the city. Contests are held for all sorts of items in all sorts of categories. There are also mock battles which take place in the arena, and demonstrations of technique and skill. The festival draws in hundreds of travelers from all over the surrounding provinces to the hillside streets.
Lédaqor’s other claim to fame is of course it’s proximity to the Léden tree forest. These trees are extremely rare and are known for their density and rich color. The wood is mainly used by craftsmen to make figurines. Most are of decent size, but it’s rare to find statues over a meter in height. A fair percentage of Lèden wood figurines are of spirits and intended for the gran of the wealthy, though they can often been seen adorning temples and other buildings. Most often however, these expertly crafted statues are of famous figures, past and present, or the buyer themselves.
