Talmontaiva

Valdamar (Fornian: Montbégny) is the largest city and previous capital of the Alvada Province in the Aurlûnor Velande. Once known as Montbégny, it was a fortress held by Count yeetus_christ. It was the capital of the county of Fornois, a small independent feudal state in the northeast of Syltör, and founding member of the Syltörean Confederacy.

Located on a hill in the middle of the plain of Fornois, it was built after the conquest of the land by the Fornians on a hill considered sacred to the native inhabitants, replacing a pagan sanctuary. This religious nature of the place is at the origin of the hill's name (from the fornian 'mont', meaning mountain, and 'bégny', meaning saint). Today, the castle is the center of power in the county of Fornois, and truly the only place, along with the nearby town of Boroligny, to be under the control of the Count in his underdeveloped demesne.

Following the Fornian succession and the end of Fornois' independence, Montbégny became a part of Aurlûnor and was renamed to Valdamar. Fornois would become known as the Alalda Province, but Fornian was allowed to be kept as the de facto language of the region, while the courts speaking Aurlûnorean.

Boroligny would become the new capital of the province on May 24, but Valdamar would remain the capital of the region.
