Callèn

Callèn is a city in Eastern Aradór, situated on the right bank of River Eduin, near Lake Callo whence the city gets its name. The city was originally founded by General Fayka of Araero as an outpost to guard against possible incursions from the still partially unconquered left bank of Eduin shortly before the establishment of the Asatic Empire in 1412. However, earlier sourced suggest that the settlement might have been populated for approximately 200 years before that.

Callèn is built in a relatively marshy and humid landscape; as a result, most of its older surviving building are built on piles. While most of the swamps have been drained, the city frequently utilises the same building techniques even without direct need.

The markets of Callèn were historically famous for the vast array of domestically produced and foreign goods and raw materials. In the 31st century, the markets are mostly known for local artisanal goods of exceptional quality. Either way, the city is sometimes called the City of Merchants by people in the surrounding regions.
