The Republic of Aldmoor
Aldmoor was a nation during the first era situated on the eastern shore of the Grecon Sea and sharing boarder with Vainland to the north, Azgulrennkazad to the east, and Walemond to the south. Aldmoor was a minor player in world politics through the first era, but served as a major trading port for the region and land route to Vainland for the southern region.

History
Founding
Aldmoor was first founded sometime in the first century IE as the city of Ahtor began to grow in wealth and power. As more villages declared their loyalty Aldmoor spread its claim of lands to the Cloud Peak River to the south and as far east as the Southern Spine.The Vainland War and Kingdom to Republic
After the death of King Leandre in 1614 IE with no heirs, the country was reorganized into the Republic of Aldmoor. This was the first instance of democracy in the known world, and was very unpopular with Aldmoor's more wealthy citizens who were now considered to have an equal say in government as the poorest peasant. Of course, this class differential set the stage for corruption and political suppression of political ideals by those with money and power. This change also came in the midst of the Vainland Wars of Expansion, making it unpopular with some who believed an untested form of government would make them seem weak to their neighbors and therefore ripe for conquering.While Aldmoor did join the coalition and declared war on Vainland, they did not have much of a military role in the Vainland War as other stronger nations such as Fjellen and Jadir kept the enemy busy on the northern front. Aldmoor did, however, sponsor raids on Vainland territory on the Grecon Sea. The capitol city of Ahtor served as a vital route for troops moving out of the southern regions to join the war on the front in Vennia. Aldmoor suffered little damage during the Vainland War and was invited to the table at Vennia to sign the Treaty of Vennia.
After the War
After the war, Aldmoor left the world stage to focus on internal demands. Ahtor was a candidate for the Assembly's southern chapter, however, the charter was given to Bisyl, the capitol of Walemond instead in 3354 IE. A small kingdom called The Cloud Peaks was annexed by Aldmoor in 3376 IE after a coup organized by a young green dragon left the region leaderless. This annexation was unpopular with the citizens of the Cloud Peaks.The Rune Wars
During the Rune Wars, Aldmoor was among the first nations to be hit by the armies of Mechanus. Several Aldmiri outposts and forts in the Grecon sea were destroyed as Emperor Icarum pushed his way to the The Bralé Pass, and Ahtor was put under blockade to prevent trade from reaching the eastern nations. After Icarum was defeated in 6032 IE, some of Vainland's sea territory was given to Aldmoor, however, it was quickly invaded in 6035 IE by Grecon whom the territory had been taken from in the first place. Before Aldmoor could respond to the invasion, though, the Cloud Peak River revolted in, and declared Fool's Canyon its territory as well effectively severing the trade that had been restored only briefly before. Aldmoor elected to fight on one front and used its warforged army to crush the rebellion sending few survivors back to the mountains. As many of the inhabitants being dwarven, Azgulrennkazad took the brutal suppression of the rebellion as a crime against the Dwarven race and declared war on Aldmoor as well. The two nations engaged at fool's canyon for several years, neither gaining the upper hand until the war ended with the Second Treaty of Vennia in 6138 IE.End of the First Era
Aldmoor was far enough away from the impact of the meteor that caused The Great Flood and had sufficient notice for some of its citizens to take shelter in the Surboi Rise. The city of Ahtor was destroyed along with many other coastal cities. The city of Haven was formed from the survivors, who would eventually reclaim the region as New Aldmoor.Demography and Population
