Early History
Aldvire was founded in Ventosh, where the Goeth River meets the Deep Cleft. The spot was choosen by Ald the Great who, it is said, laid the first stones for what would be the cities first, now inner, wall. The first keep, Ald Tower, was built on the north shores of the very mouths of the river converge, as well as Breakdawn Cathedral to honor Ruidishien, and a large bridge was built over the Deep Cleft, named < Aldvire Bridge >. As the town grew more and more streets were paved for permanent stone buildings. Another bridge was built, the < Casterline Bridge >, across the to the southern shore of the Goeth. By the time the population hit roughly 80,000 the city filled to what was then the outer wall, with smatterings of buildings across the rivers. This became the first city district known as < Rivermeet >. Like most of the first cities, it started as a city-state. Over time smaller villages and towns sprang up around the city, and as the population of Aldvire grew, along with it's need for food and supplies, the city-state became the capitol of the growing kingdom of Kingdom of Aldvire as the villages were incorporated into the expanding government influence.
