Aldah (All-dah)

Nicknamed the "The Desert Rose of Feland", Aldah is a rather unique settlement in that it is the only one on the edge of Norost's southern desert region. It also has a unique position in relation to Lodwie, being rather close to is borders and often seen as the gateway between these two nations. This being the case, Aldah is a heavily politicized location with a strong influence from The Magocracy so as to mitigate any tensions between Feland and Lodwie and ensure anyone from either side of the borders acts in good faith.
Besides its political significance, however, Aldah also has a secondary driving force behind its location. It is situated in a very advantageous location since there are many nearby valleys, caves, canyons, pillars and other geolocial formations revealed over time. These features often contain riches that are quite easily found and collected, even to the extent of finding loose pieces of valuable metals and gemstones lying on the ground by chance. One particularly valuable material that is often found, however, and is perhaps the most prized of all, is Alexandrium of the crimson hue. On its own this is a valuable find, but red Alexandrium in particular has been found to be a great power source for a myriad of applications. As a bonus, Aldah is far enough away from any of these geological features that discoveries of this kind pose little to no threat for the people. What does pose a threat to them, however, is the imbalance of wealth among the town's populace.
