Porde

Porde is a large city in Eastern Aradór on the northern coast of the Bay of Thrig, just west of the delta of river Holme.

The area has been populated since before the 8th century; the original name of the city was more along the lines of Næroporde, with a recognisable morpheme næro-, "bay" (c.f. Classical Arazi næra, Bantazi nera); however, by the 18th century the name had already been shortened to Porde, a name whose etymology is uncertain and possibly of Pre-Asatic origin.

During Asàel, the city served as an important part of the larger fortifications around Araero, securing the entrance from the Bay to the delta of River Eduin. Fort Porde is a surviving remnant of these once extensive fortifications.
