Aldor

The city of Aldor is quite the sight in the southern region of Dagnia, the province called Aelvale. Aldor, while not being much better than most other cities of Dagnia, especially that of the overshadowing, luxurious city of Westerloch, Aldor is by far the largest and most populated city in Dagnia. This is most likely because in this city, there are not many facilities or luxuries, with most its massive space utilized to house its massive population.

Aldor lies in the center of Aelvale, surrounded by the Aelvale's extensive forest. The climate is cold, though not that of a tundra, as such people are seen dressed in warm clothing. Most of the poor people are lumberjacks, although some others have opened inns, at which Aldor holds a record number of at least five well known, major inns and taverns, while others often join the local mercenary guilds. Aldor does not make much profit and people usually have to work much harder than the other cities, that said, the economy is not stable and based around such things as monster hunting.

Aldor is the seat of governance in Aelvale, with the noble house of Marvolia being responsible for the governance of Alevale's Cities, towns and communities.

The central area of the city is populated by the rich; most of these rich people are aristocrats, with few exceptions. They are believed to be oppressors of the people, and actually ripping off the poor. That has brought a bitter stand between the poor but potent masses, and that of the aristocrats, both of whom stand behind their own mercenaries.

Economy
The economy in Aldor is not very developed. Usually there are times when the life standards drops to unacceptable levels for a city like Aldor, and in other cases rises surprisingly. That depends on the monster hunt and lumberjacking. Essentially lumberjacking does not earn much, and some hunts give little money although a few can give quite a lot. The mercenary guilds have spread all over Aldor and offer to take in the dangerous missions to hunt dangerous and rare species.

History
Aldor was founded by the noble house of Marvolias in a dense forested area that would become Aelvale. As it grew, the nobles swore they would serve the people and protect them, as much as to even create special laws for that matter. Not that they are still considered nowadays, things have changed. The nobles now have become tyrannical and are looking out for their own interests. Their quality of life is better, but that of the common people is not. In the past few hundred years, numerous violent uprisings have caused this oppression stop, but, has since began to grow again. Another violent uprising is on the horizon, but now it seems the nobles tend to deal with it, much quicker than the last one.
