Celdon

A major city in Aluvia. Shadow Celdon Armor, Celdon armor and Olthoi Celdon Armor, as well as the Rose of Celdon are named after the city.

Celdon lies in the Belshain Valley, along the two banks of the great Canfeld River. Nine white stone bridge connect the two halves of the city. The city is consists of tall houses of timber and fired brick lining narrow stoned roads worn smooth by uncounted feet and beasts of burden. The Canfeld itself flows from the ancient granite of the Luparvium Mountains slowly to the Ironsea. Landings for merchant craft from the Ironsea line the banks in Celdon, and the riverside areas are known for their color, noise, and exotic wares.^[1]

During the time of Viamontian occupation starting in 804 RC, Celdon was the capital of Aluvia. Thrushhaven, the traditional highland fortress of the Aluvian Kings, was deemed too old and remote for Viamont Royal Governor Alfric, and thus he began the construction of the Tower of Alfric on an island in the middle of the Canfeld and Celdon itself.^[1]

Celdon was also the location where the rebellion of the Orts against Alfrega started after the execution of an Aluvian peasant.^[1]

The Celdon smiths were known for their craft, and their secrets were used to create the Viamontian Armor.^[2]
