Fornaenda
From Xinda
Fornænda is the Capital City of Carops and the Caropsyne Pontanore. It is one of Liberalia's oldest and largest cities, as well as a cultural centre for the vast Caropsyne diaspora and much of the region. Founded in 2056 by Othæglin the Lindite, Fornænda was designed as the purpose-built administrative centre for the then new Kingdom of Carops. The construction of Fornænda was the single largest construction exercise in Caropsyne history and lasted for over 150 years. The original Fornænda is, of course, no longer standing in the most part, although some remarkably old structures do survive, including the Casmere Palace and the Arch of Nepios.
