Kharduum,

Kharduum was a town in the Bai Federation. It was founded on May 30, 2021 by Meiddaura Kul, being one of the initial five Bai colonies in Eldham. Kharduum was situated in a river tunnel along the Suther river in the southwest of current Vulperium. Despite having an extremely population, consisting only of Meiddaura Kul and Saltayyylmao, Kharduum experienced quick development during its short existence. The residents of Kharduum spent most of their time fishing off of the walkways hugging the tunnel walls while they conducted the initial diplomatic efforts of the Bai Federation.

However, as the other Bai colonies become settled and more populated, Kharduum would fall in relevance. With Baicalite taking over as the de jure capital of the Bai Federation, the last resident of Kharduum would move out. Despite being all but abandoned, the protections around Kharduum would remain for some time before Bai Officials returned to salvage many of the materials stored within. This period of abandonment without officially disbanding it makes it difficult to pinpoint when the claim itself was deleted, but estimates place it as 4-5 weeks after the War of Bjancia Destruction.

In its current state, Kharduum is one of many ruins littering the former territory of the Bai Federation. As it now lies within the territory of the ever-growing Vulperium, its future is undecided.
