Delaria

History
It is believed that the great city of Delaria was built by high men, long before the counting of days. The great walls of Delaria are known in all Eiroth, it is supposed to be the biggest city in the whole world. After the extinction of High Men in Laerdon(And supposedly all Eiroth) the lesser men started expanding. Slowly settling all over Southridge. But with expanding also came dangers, they found out that strange elves lived in the mountains to the east. They were called Earth Elves by the first explorers. After a strange relationship with the elves at first they seemed friendly after all. During the first orcish invasion the Earth Elves came to the help of Delaria, the start of a long lasting friendship between both races.

During the first age Delaria had changed from a magical and modern city into a large and populated city. During the first age the city kept growing untill the invasion of Garr'dar and his Northridge clans. During this orcish invasion the orcs didn't come with boats, as before. But they used the Hacksay bridge which was built a few hundred years before the invasion. The orcish clans destroyed great parts of the Delarian empire but were stopped at the gates of Delaria. All the farmlands around Delaria were destroyed and the walls of Delaria were damaged. During this period the Delarian Empire was smaller than ever. The once great city of Avalon was taken and Carn had rebelled against the empire, declaring itself independent.
