Theddias

Theddias is a major city within the kingdom of Northedia and was the historical capital of the Theddite Empire. It is located on the Thedda River.

History
Theddias was initially founded around c. 11400. Its origins are not entirely known, and the name Theddias was likely created centuries after the city's first settlement. The area around the city was the center of a newly developing culture that took its name from the Thedda river. The Theddites expanded to include all of the lower Thedda and its delta, and Theddias remained the largest city of the region. Theddias itself remained a small but powerful city-kingdom until the 14000s, when it united with the city Lobanc. From there, Theddias served as the capital of the Theddite Empire, which contained all the cities of the Thedda. The Empire conquered Osthedia and other lands in the following centuries. Under Imperial rule, Theddias expanded greatly, but began a gradual decline after Papalas' coup in 15503. It fell from the position of the largest city in the Empire in the 15600s, surpassed by Lobanc, which had long been a "secondary capital," especially given its status as the seat of the Lobancas dynasty. At its height, the city reached a population in the 900 thousands, but never recovered from the Imperial Theddite decline. When Nisemicas V took control of the city during the succession crisis of 16022, the city briefly served as the seat of his dominion. However, upon his conquest of Lobanc, he moved his capital there.
