It is located southeast of Nova Ohrid and Zarilyia and west of Idrilius. Aetolia is the second largest city in Demiarbéz by area and has seen a recent increase in population.

Geography
Aetolia is located in the southeast of the region and is predominantly situated in the plains. It has a taiga in the north, a dark oak forest to the east, and an oak forest to the west.

Founding and Re-Founding
Aetolia was originally founded on the site of Amaranth by 07928YR at the command of Exarian, ruler of Serafaint and of the state of Seragon. Amaranth, once called Ultargila, was an abandoned anarchist commune; the land was bought from Tovarisha by Nullaria, which collapsed and left the town uninhabited once again. Nicodemus of Aetolia and Arlus Mancario were two other active members of the original Aetolia. However, maybe 6 weeks after Aetolia was established, the land was ceded to the Diarchy of Paradise as a consequence of the IAU-Paradise War. Upon learning this, Exarian (or others acting at his command) griefed the town and took anything of value, though the grief was rolled back at Paradise's behest. Paradise gave the land to Valoore (which was succeeded by Valogron and briefly Norgalia before Valogron and Avertico split), which founded its capital of Freadore on what was previously Aetolia, demolishing all structures except for the church. According to Azepus, said church was created by Poldi Paloro and was originally dedicated to the Aṅlethepi religion, though no Aetolians today profess this faith. The citizens of Aetolia were resettled in Demiarbéz, then still part of the IAU, with the help of Maximal (then-Minister of Recruitment of the IAU), Feniks (then-Minister of Towns of the IAU), and Throsaere Kotudaar in what was once called Qara.
