Corondium

Corondium
Corondium was an early server run under Stugace prior to his passing of the flame onto Hokehs. It is fondly remembered by many veterans and chronologically came after LoR. Issues with map corruption resulted in the loss of some of the buildings although Stugace still retains a copy.
Corondium was a city nestled at the foot of a mountainous area next to the sea, opening up to wide plains to the west. The city was divided by a central river, with several bridges connecting the heart of the city to the western boroughs. A large wall was built from the mountains to the south, stretching north along the western edges of the city before circling back to the sea. A fully functional gate stood as the only major opening in the grand wall, which protected the city from near-constant horde attacks. Eventually, two smaller settlements were established, Portuna and Arpinum, the later of which would become a scarred battleground in the war for dominance of the land between the forces of Rome and the barbarians of the HyrdAiken.
Arpinum
The settlement of Arpinum was founded several kilometers from Corondium, and was a center of trade for the farmers of the region. It also boasted a growing clay and mineral mine. As it grew in prominence, however, it garnered the attention of both the Horde and the HyrdAiken. Legion forces were deployed numerous times to defend Arpinum and clear it of Horde forces, assisting in repairing the minute damage post battle.
The forces of the HyrdAiken, however, had different plans from the wanton slaughter of the Horde. They sought to claim Arpinum for their own as a forward operating base, an asset in their growing war with the Romans for dominance of the land. The once beautiful city of Arpinum slowly devolved to a full-blown warzone, with buildings being converted to archer's nests, streets blockaded, and houses burned to smoke out combatants. One could compare it's image to that of Stalingrad, nothing but a specter of its former self, rife with bloody close quarters combat.
Eventually, after enough military intelligence was collected by their scouts, the Turma, Legion officials marshaled their forces and struck a decisive blow to the HyrdAiken, attacking their home village. In classic Roman fashion, the Legion killed every man and woman in the village and burned the settlement to the ground, ending the insurrection and restoring a slight peace to the land. Arpinum was never resettled, as it was now considered cursed ground from the amount of blood shed their. It became a true "ghost town", filled with Horde monsters who preyed upon the occasional fortune seeker or dimwit stupid enough to enter the decrepit battleground.
