Tildivul

Tildivul was once the capital city of Vulpinia. Since it's merging with Sparport, it is now a district in Aroforn, the new capital city of the Vulperium.
==History==
After the ancient Vulpur descendants were forced out of Eldham in the fifth age, the lands of Tildivul were abandoned and unused for over a thousand years. Vuls no longer permanently inhabited the area until Nuncio arrived by ship and caravan to the historic region. This new uncertain homeland to which they had returned to was dangerous and great walls of stone were quickly erected, with quarries built in the south and farming communities spreading out through the taiga to feed the growing nation. Pillars of stone and fire were constructed to mark the borders of the Vulpur's homeland as incursions and raids by outsiders was a great threat in those early days. The city of Tildivul though through the help of founding colonists Specterred, CaptainWesteros, and Shib would eventually grow out of this tenous position into one of the greatest cities that Eldham had ever seen, and with the later addition of legendary builders like Blackleaf and Milobarks, the city would grow in size from it's early ramshod fortifications to a magnificent fortress with proud homes, monuments, and Nabu churches erected within it's walls. It's wealth would even surpass that of the older established Serronan cities Lazodi, Horizonte, and Kazkaya.
The spruce forests south of the city remained largely unsettled, with the only sparse satellite communities there being the abandoned town of Candeus Hill, the private Durradayne estate of Nea-Captainia, and the farming community of New Brownwich (home to the largest wheat field in Eldham).
The forests north of Tildivul however would be gradually cleared out en-masse to help provide for the burgeoning capital city's construction. The north would remain seen as a popular destination for new town settlements as Anthari, Sparport, Fropsia, and Adnan would be founded in that region (all communities of which would later split off and form the duchy of Rynwood). 
Massive building projects in the open regions between the 2 duchies would continue as their metropolitan areas slowly bled into one another, and in January of 2022, Tildivul would finally acquiesce to a merge with the city of Sparport (founded in the north by earlier Tildivul resident SpecterRed) to form the new grand city of Aroforn, which is now the capital of the Vulperium.
==Government==
Tildivul is the capital of both the Vulpinia Valardom and the empire of the Vulperium. It's location lies upon lands that were traditionally home to all ruling Valars of the Vulpur people, with important government figures such as the first valar Nuncio Yolcotl, the economically powerful vierl Shib, and the former-valar and old duke of the region Westeros Durradayne.
The Durradayne noble family leads the local duchy of Mournalor from their castle within the great city of Tildivul, with the Yolcotl noble family residing west across the river from the city in their own massive estate-lands of Vetervul.
