== Etymology ==
The word "Iskandar" originally came from what the native peoples called the river that the town runs through. The two rivers that Iskandar is between were originally called the "Isdar Flumeherinda," meaning "The two rivers." A settlement was eventually made there, and the name stuck, except to shorten it, they would just say "Isdar," and those living there called it "Nehir Arasinda" due to the native peoples language clashing with the more predominant northern languages. When [[Sayyid|Prince Sayyid]] reclaimed the town however, it was renamed to "Iskandar" which sounded more Lydoneian.
== History ==
===
The town was originally a landmark that the native peoples in the area used for navigation as the two rivers close together was unique to the area. Eventually a village was established as more and more people went there in search of Food and Spruce Wood. It became a popular hub, and despite having a very low population in comparison to other villages at the time, the place was bustling with people. Eventually, the village was absorbed into the nearby town of [[Midnight Grove]] and was apart of it for most of it's early history. This age came to an end, however, when the Prensi royal family received the village as a gift for their service, and Iskandar was founded.
