History
Egalia was historically an important trading post on the western coast of Nieden.

Foundation
As all of the old settlements of Vasterien, Egalia was founded by inhabitants of Corthaidh (Varmerion). It thus received the humble name of Thadeti, wich means Fort of the Thadians. It was also known as Columbia.

Columbia under the Kingdom of Egalia
Its modern history is heavily influenced by the personnality of Jack F. Kennedy who led the Central Commitee of the high presidium of the supreme soviet of the free and liberated workers and people's of the Commune of Columbia, the most important political entity within the Kingdom of Egalia.

Post-Ascension period
Its modern name is was taken after the Ascension.

Aesperium Niedea
Egalia experienced periods of growth but had overall low activity during this period.

The first period of growth was shortly after the formation of the country, when old architects could benefit from the renewed prosperity to embellish the center of the town.

During a second period, shortly before the Kimikwessai (First Escharian civil war), the town experienced a rapid growth and expanded north, towards Drasil. This new borough was known as Chileambore or, Ozeben (above waters in local tongue).

Nowadays
Under the Soleannan Imperium, the administration of Egalia has been merged with the administration of Drasil due to urban spreading. The town's activity is rather quiet.
