Lijvar

Lijvar was a Vadyan town on the northern shore of the Bay of Amharon. It was razed to the ground in early 243.
Lijvar was founded at the peak of a low hill some time during the 5th Century BCE - it was a large centre during the Migration Age and, along with Astel and Ofkia formed a trio of large, powerful settlements in the tribal Vadyan area.
It became the seat of the Toumanii tribe before 130CE, and served as their power base for over a hundred years, and the centre of the Toumanian state until it fell in 243. Following the eradication of the Toumanii, Lijvar was burned to the ground and abandoned.
Nowadays the site of Lijvar is regarded as an unlucky place - it is said the Toumanian Prince Amharon and his guards can be seen striding along the edge of the fortress when the full moon is out, and older legends of monsters and executed innocents reinforce the belief that Lijvar is a place to be avoided at all costs, despite the defensive merits of its location.
