Sildar

Sildar is a small City-State that was founded long before the Silioric Library was established. It is known for it's bountiful summers and harsh winters.

The Castle of Sildar
The royal complex of Sildar has grown many times over the years. None of the original complex stands after 1032 SC, when renovations called for all furniture to be removed and the building disassembled. Many of the pieces were gifted to fellow City-States and Capitals.

The original Castle had three main floors and a tower with four floors.

The Castle during the time of Isabella Siridean II is as follows:
 * The Main Castle Building
 * The Throne Room
 * The Royal Chambers
 * Various chambers and working spaces for servants and workers
 * The Dungeon
 * The North wing
 * The Library
 * The Gallery
 * The Temple of Aphroditus from Keyaleth Siridean
 * The South wing
 * Barracks
 * Stables

Commerces of Sildar
Sildar has a mostly agricultural economy. There are many surrounding farms. In the town, there is plenty of low level magic shops and material goods stores. Plenty of crafters live in the city, but none are more than what is needed to provide. High quality tools, goods, and materials are imported, with a small group of exceptions.

Due to the agricultural surrounding, high quality leather is one of the goods that Sildar can be recognized for. Additionally, because of the harsh winters, Sildar is one of the places in the world to produce a lager. Sildarian Lagers are another of the unlikely, but impressive products of Sildar.

History
Originally, Sildar started like many other cities. Various elves came together to form a small community. Together, they made a prosperous small town. It was not until the city was 352 years old in -2010 SC that Riardon Siridean I became the first Lord of Sildar. This title was a reward from the cityfolk who saw him as a savior and a leader. His warlock abilities prevented ruin from befalling the city. Unfortunately, being a warlock shortened his life. All the Lords of Sildar were warlocks until a certain point in history.

Becoming a City-State
At the time before Sildar became a city-state, it was ruled by the Law. An elven settlement of 169 years of age did not need a prime leader. Certain individuals of the community stepped forward to suggest ideas and the community together could decide on what needed to be done and in what order. In -2193 SC, Sildar was recognized a city-state by the local municipalities. At this position, Sildar had wooden walls and a temple to no particular deity and therefor was a city. With this, the citizens of the small city felt the needed to put forward a spokesperson to speak for Sildar. The Spokesperson of the City had no power, but did act upon the will of the people of Sildar in important matters.

The First Lord
Riardon I was born in -2220 SC and then became the first Lord of Sildar in -2010 SC. This ascent was due to the repulsion of the demonic forces of a Spirit Naga.

Lords of Sildar
Over the history of Sildar, many individuals have acted as the Lord of Sildar, a title passed though generations. The origin of the title is Riardon Siridean I being given the title for his services to the city. Riardon was a warlock, and therefore had a shortened life with his pact. To continue this, the subsequent Lords of Sildar were also warlocks. It was not until the First Siridean Royal Conflicts that being a warlock as not mandated by the royal family. Some of the Lords of Sildar have been warlocks since the first Royal Conflict, but none were warlocks after the Siridean Family began to share the head of house with House Hamal.
