## Etymology

The name 'Alcacer' derives from the Old Alconbrian *A:lka'cer*, which were the combination of the word for ocean, *Alka* and the Old Alconbrian word for pride, *acer*. The Spanish explorers named the city *La Alcacera* in 1502 after coming in contact with the natives. The city retained it's current name in 1831, when it was renamed into Alcacer, and was integrated into the newly formed Union of Altivebrio.

The city was proposed to be renamed to *Reinomara* in 1969 by Altivebrians, but it never came into effect.

## History

### Beiljio period

The city of *Fruf'frug;gruf* was founded by the Beiljio people in 792 AD, after their previous capital city was destroyed in the 791 J'frugf fire. The new city, located approximately 20 miles east of their previous city was quickly rebuilt, and by 795, stretched nearly 10 km2, making it one of the largest cities in Pre-Colombian era.

The large meeting place in the city centre, the *Garouf M'rko* was constructed in 800 AD, and in 813 AD, a smaller one was constructed called the *Garouf Lirko*, just adjacent to the main building exclusively for children aged 5 or above. In 819, the construction of the Fruf'frug;gruf Wall began, and was completed in 881. A moat was constructed around the city, to enable farmers to get water without having to cross into the city.

In 911, King Jreforg Lreg moved his castle from the second largest Beiljio city *Truf'frug* to *Fruf'frug;gruf*, and the new castle was finished in 920, commemorating the king's 30 years of rule. A military barracks was built outside the city in 950, and several guard towers were put up 50 miles outside the city during the Beiljio Wars. During the war, the residents of the city built their first ship and a crew of 40 set sail from a beach, but never returned. In 1087, the city's radius was extended, and another city wall was built. The city was moderately damaged after the unsuccessful siege by the Mayans.

In 1103, Alconbrians began heading north in search of gold. The Nerdi Beiljio empire began spreading, and when the Spaniards arrived, the empire completely conquered the Verdi Beiljio empire, and reached the banks of the Pacific Ocean.

### Spanish conquest

Spanish explorer Diego de las Alas arrived in *Fruf'frug;gruf* with his explorers and other natives on 13 September, 1497.
