Leodon

Leodon, officially the Gusdom of Leodon, is one of the four counties within the Kingdom Galadonn. Leodon lies in the middle of Aldovir and shares internal borders with Carn in the east and Adavia in the south. It stretches from the Sea of Slaves in its west to the Astyllean Sea in the east. To the north it borders Sironia and to the South-West Lirgal. Leodon contains towns with various cultural influences such as Ryllean, Carnian or Sironian. It offers activity, culture, jobs and beautiful architecture and is the backbone of Galadonn. It is united under common goal of being a strong core-province of Galadonn.

Pre-Leodon
Before the Leodon became its own politcal entity, it was the western part of the Caeronate of Carn. Under the Caeronate of Carn the foundations of most of Leodons towns were set, such as in Hartend (former Bentonia), Guslandia (former Synei), Winzeck (New Pudding), ... or ... .

The Collapse of Carn
In a time of inactivity and general instabilty the leadership of Carn was banned permantly. This lead to the inital collapse of the Caeronate of Carn, which than would be annexed by the Pirate Empire of Tortuga. The Tortugan Leader at that time, Ulifer decided that he had no use with the inactive and abondend carnian lands and therefore decided to partion Carn into 5 parts and distribute them to the major powers of that region.

Galadonnian Expansion into Leodon
Through diplomacy and by financial means the Kingdom of Galadonn could acquire 3 of the 5 parts of Carns, while the other 2 were give to Adashira and later on to Sirnoia-Carn. Nowadays Leodon is mainly made up of the western part of Carn Galadonn acquired. Here settlers from Lagos, the only town Galadonn had until expansion into Carn, migrated and took over the mostly abandoned and often very run down towns.

The Beginning of Leodon
While the setteling into the eastern parts of Galadonnian-Carn was rather unsuccessful in the west Leodon swiftly became Galadonni even though being not connected to the rest of Galadonn. In the beginning the Leodon was rather densly populated with most of Galadonnis still residing in the capital Lagos.

The first time that Leodon would become its own political entity was when Galadonn after its Carnian expansion was reorganised into different Counties. The first name Leodon was known as was "Yellow County", but this was swiftly changed to Leodon/Leodonn in a royal decree by the King Cassius.

The First Count of Leodon would become Licrovan who would hold on to power for multiple decades. During his Countship Leodon was rather unorganized as he let his town owerns to what ever they would want. While this unorganization was not much of a probelm in the beginning it would later cause a stagnation and slow decline in Leodon.

The Population was not growing but slowly shrinking, lands were lost through carelessness like Estonia (south of Morvanne), historical towns were flattend and replaced with environmentally unfriendly factories.
