Ida

Ida is a minor city located in the Easterlands region of the Empire of Sevicia. Known for its abundance of wildlife in its surrounding forests, and for its idyllic scenery in the countryside, Ida is one of Sevicia's most popular cities. Over the years it has been the birthplace of several important Sevician figures, including Cloe of Ida, one of the Empire's greatest ever Imperators.
== History ==
Ida was founded more than 2000 years ago, one of the first places anywhere in the east of the continent, by settlers from further inland, around the Lothor and Cape regions. Its location in relative isolation from other major cities (with the closest being the capital city of Morosea to the southeast) means that over the centuries it has developed somewhat of an insular culture; Idan Sevician is a popular and often-imitated dialect of the Sevician language that is primarily spoken by those in and around the city.
Due to its location it has enjoyed a long history without a great deal of conflict, with the notable exception of the Great Separation, where the city - loyal to Anaeaus the Redeemer - was sacked by forces loyal to the Sun King Tigrus. Since then it has enjoyed more than seven centuries of relative peace. As of the early eighth century, Ida is home to more than 50,000 permanent residents.
== Geography ==
Ida has a mild climate, like much of inland Sevicia, with temperatures reaching the high 20s and dry during the Mandera months and seeing mild snowfall and rain during the colder months of Tullena and Saturna. South of the city proper lie great marshland regions that make traversal relatively difficult, and the land to the north and west is extremely fertile, with crop yields seeing bountiful returns all year round.
== Notable inhabitants ==
* Cloe of Ida, who served as Imperator of Sevicia from 634 to 640, and is widely regarded as one of the greatest monarchs in Sevician history, was born in the city of Ida, and spent much of her young life there.
