Kigea'jad

Kigea'jad, also known as Neavulpur and Keja'jad, is an old city located in the Vulpur Peninsula region of Najer.

History
The city known today as Kigea'jad was originally founded by a Noxnorrian named Froggyflippers, some time during the reign of Juli Aulder of the SC. Also known as New Bern (after Bern Vralas), it was abandoned, likely around the time Juli Aulder and Froggyflippers marriage and disappearance. It was present on some Sterling Crownland maps, as well as many later Najer maps, under the name Keja'jad. (Meaning Mountain Gift)

The arrival of the Vulpur people some time later would see the old city being repurposed and renamed to Neavulpur. It became the first city and capital of Vulpinia. It was by this name that the city would be known as from then on. It served as the administrative center of the area until the emigration of the Vuls back to their ancestral homeland in Eldham. After this, the city would be abandoned once again. The fortress-city would be maintained, but mostly ignored. Eventually, Najer was invaded by a group known as "Salem," who took over the fort and used it to launch attack on the Najer mainland. A scouting party led by the Seyohs Hirudo Talvos and Shivareh Basha, and aided by Najer war Councillor Irabella, scoped out the fort and led an assault on the city. They swept through its streets and pushed the invaders out.

This event, known as the Battle of Salem, was foundational to the Najer Armed Services, founded by Shivareh and supported by Hirudo under the name of the Civil Coast Guard.

Sadly, following this, the city was left to itself again, and suffered severe deterioration, the remnants of the battle of Salem never having been cleaned up. This was until the Fellowship of the Seekers, led by Fiacril Anisarta, launched an initiative to reclaim the city. Many Najer people came to help with this, tearing down old ruins, repairing walls, and building new structures.

The city was then renamed to Kigea'jad, meaning mountain of the foxes, as a homage to its history as the home of the Vulpur, but with a new, more Najer influence. It went on to become a powerful city in the area, attracting many new citizens and hosting many events.
