Many travelers agree that this is the most beautiful city in Bandagora. This Pandese city was founded 155 before the common calendar as a holy city dedicated to Enki. At that time a temple to Enki was built in the flat river delta where the Belse river runs out into the sea. Since that day, engineers have divided the river and expanded the delta so that Hardor today is made up of a thousand small isles in the river. Central Hardor is a park-like serene place, where the traffic is quiet and subdued, as it is either by foot or by boat. The large temple quarter is dominated by the palace of the priest-king, the Pontifex Maximus. In the south part of the city lies the senate building, not far from the market place and the harbor. The very rich have their own isle in the center, but most live in the residential quarter to the north.
