Krosvallad

Krosvallad is a town located in southern Anglunia, in the region of Areveyi. Krosvallad was established in the summer of the year 117 TE as a Yirsi colony in the region. After an unforseen disaster, the fort was abandoned until it was taken over by Livas Ulvon-Vindya in 181 TE, becoming home of House Vindya. The city's mayor is currently Elyanna Rito-Vindya.

Origins
Krosvallad was settled by a Tarhamhorian colonist in the summer of 117 TE. Krosvallad translates to 'edge valley' in Yirsi'tal, and it was named such as it lies on the border with Soolia. The colony was commisioned by the Anglunian government to raise the population of the region of Areveyi, which had just joined Anglunia. The colony grew and the people built large walls to keep roaming gangs of bandits out. The sheer size of the walls was immense - no bandit would be seen within the town. However, due to an unforseen disaster, many of the citizens of Krosvallad left the city, leaving the colonist impoverished. After a failed attempt to sell the colony, the Tarhamhorian dissappered, with no trace ever being found.

Rebuilding under Livas
Livas Ulvon-Vindya, a Yirsi noble of House Vindya, overheard conversations of a distant fort-town in the south. After investigating and speaking to some members of the Anglunian government, Livas was granted access to the abandonded town. He recieved the title of Tilonsyr, and began working on the city. The Town Hall was rebuilt, the roads upgraded, and the first houses built. The Great walls of Krosvallad that limited the city to a small size were lowered to the 1/3 of what they used to be. The city's population grew as well, and soon enough, Livas cast the spell to reunite House Vindya at Krosvallad, bringing many of the Houses' old nobility to the town. The town soon became big enough to be an Onsyrdom. However, after some time, Livas retired, passing on the torch to Ziyar Eru-Vindya.

Krosvallad under Ziyar
Ziyar Eru-Vindya become mayor in the spring of the year 206 TE. However, a sudden drought struck the city, leading to the death of the season's crops. Citizens began to move out, and the city was on the brink of abandonment. Some citizens turned to a life of crime - such as 'Emerald Eye' Simon, who is infamous for attempting to burn down Vindya Mansion. After five years, Ziyar retired, and Elyanna Rito-Vindya was appointed the next mayor of Krosvallad.

Growth under Elyanna
Elyanna Rito-Vindya became mayor of Krosvallad in the summer of 211 TE. Due to the drastic decrease in population, the city returned to being a Tilonsyrdom. Elyanna began by fixing the damage done to the Town Hall and Vindya Mansion, and then began a series of building reforms. When the drought ended, citizens began to flow into Krosvallad again. 'Emerald Eye' Simon was caught and executed for terrorising the town, and proper gates were built onto the city. When the Anglunian census came around again, the city was eligible to become an Onsyrdom, with Elyanna being granted the title of Onsyr.

The Great Walls of Krosvallad
The Great walls of Krosvallad were built by the Tarhamorians and reached 100 meters up to the sky. They also built a glass ceiling that protected them from the damaging rays of the sun. Soon, Krosvallad became a closed up "box" that could not be entered by foreigners. When Livas took charge he removed 2/3s of the walls with the help of his fellow Vindyan and Lochatlan Nobles. Livas' friend Aellyya Warrie-Lochatlan single handedly demolished half of the designated area and did not demand any payment. Once Ziyar took charge, a lot of progress took place o the removal of the glass ceiling and by the time Elyanna took charge most of it had been removed. As of now, the walls have been redesigned at many points and have gates at two aeras for visitors to come.
