Trade Lands

Bóford

Running along Aldernon's balmy east coast, the Trade Lands are a series of small towns and villages within the trade hub of the island. As well as docking smaller merchant ships from Cattana, Mulan and beyond, the trade coast is responsible for most of the fishing trade and a large number of crafts people. Originally party of the Central Plains, the Trade Lands only recently got their own capital, Falsa Isle City, but many still consider
Caipiteal the seat of authority for the region.

## Falsa Isle City

Falsa Isle City was founded shortly after the end of the Draconis Wars, in light of the crippling effect on regional command following the Siege of Samhain. During the siege of Caipiteal, which at the time also government much of the Trade Lands, the region fell into chaos with no secondary governance in place. To prevent this, it was initially decreed that one of the small, but map-worthy, towns would be upgraded to a city to serve as a seat of governance for the region. But this decision called uproar; none of the citizens of Baile Caillte, Bridgewater nor Bóford wanted to have their quiet towns overrun. So a new planwas formulated; in an undertaking not seen since the building of Dum’Dachaigh
Ùr, a new landmass off the coast would be constructed in the shadow of White Plume Mountain, and upon this new 'false island' a city would be built. The city was named False Isle City in recognition of the works that went into it's creation. While the smallest city in Aldernon by a large margin, it nonetheless is a bustling hub in the region.
