Azeriko

Azeriko is a town in the Kingdom of Omeland's region of Alcorcia. It lies close to the border with Kajasthan, and is therefore an important fortress town.
== History ==
Azeriko was settled by primarily by the followers of Gonzalo Fernandez de Cordoba, known on Earth as El Gran Capitan. Many of these settlers travelled to Tairghol on the Conquistador, a Spanish merchant vessel, but a large minority were malcontents from the ships Gaviota and Luz Mercurio, whose crews settled in Guadalagoza but disagreed over the government of the new settlement.
This new town, dubbed Asercion after the Spanish word 'assertion', was founded on the banks of the river Jeronta. Gonzalo was not content with simply settling peacefully, building a defensive ring of forts around the town and attempting, in his later years, to expand and take the nearby town of Alcorcon. While Gonzalo took the town, he promptly lost it again when the farmers of another nearby town Zarandair rallied to Alcorcon's defence.
Asercion remained a neutral farming town until the formation of the first nation-states in the area during the 1st Century CE. After being taken by various warlords, it passed into the hands of The Spur. Here it remained until the Great Gap.
After the Gap the town's name had bastardised to Azeriko, and was now part of the Marcher Kingdom of Omeland. It has remained part of Omeland ever since, with the local noble families contributing eagerly to the cause during the Omelian Rebellion and the few wars the country has since been involved in.
