Iskandariyye

Overview
Iskandar (Ish-khan-dar) is a snowy town located east of the southernmost continent in Alathra

Founding
The town was first founded years ago under the Gemitzis royal family, and the name Nehir Arasında. The earliest documented ruler is Neyf I, who was leader of the town during it's golden age, managing one of the largest navies in the ancient world, and having done tons of trade with products such as spruce wood, gold, wine, and spices. However, after generations past King Neyf IV was successor, and with the town dwindling in resources, it was eventually overtaken by Icesteelan attackers. Prince Sayyid, who was heir to the Nehir Arasından throne, had to go into hiding with a small amount of the townspeople and for 2 years, spent his life hunting animals and gathering berries and herbs. However, eventually as Icesteel reeled under internal problems, Sayyid was able to retake his home with no resistance.

Southern Union
After retaking his old home, Sayyid found himself in a difficult spot between two nations being The Southern Union (Modern day Lydoneia) and Icesteel, and he had to make a decision about where to align his loyalties so his town could thrive again. He decided to join The Southern Union as the Icesteelans were obviously not so keen of his royal family being back in the ruling class of the city. Soon however, his town's representation within the nation would be stripped, and The Southern Union would fall to a peaceful coup, bringing the Republic of Lydoneia, and Sayyid was happy with the new republican government.
