Hanustandor

Hanustandor, (Gu-Maek: Ma Pona) is the capital city of Vorosan, a province in the South East of the Aurlûnor Velande. The city lies on the Southern border of the Velande, only separated from the Dominion of Ashura by the Kidat River. Because of it's central location between the Velande and its vassal Ashura, the city is a hub for travel and commerce. Hanustandor is also known for its beautiful, but smaller scale architecture, along with the Twin Dragon Monastery that watches over it.

Etymology
Originally called Ma Pona, the city's name was changed by Velereth and Celestial Matron, Sareariel Leyla-Earcala, to Hanustandor, meaning "Monastery land" in Aurlûnoren, after the Twin Dragon Monastery around which it was built.

History
The settlement that would later become Hanustandor was originally founded by a Celestial Elf named Zewisch leading an expedition of Kumiho colonists, who erected a Twin Dragon monastery atop a plateau overlooking the Kidat River. They called this place Ma Pona, and over time, a town would spring up around the monastery, fed by the fertile North bank of the Kidat. Zewisch would soon become governor of the province of Vorosan, with Ma Pona as its capital. Later on, the Velereth Sareariel would be married to Lucius von Savras, the Kaiser of Andorn.
