Gadur, Marligantos

The city of Gadur is the capital of Free Gaduridos, as well as the largest city in the nation. It lies on the northern point of Marligantos.

History
The Historical City of Gadur was founded in 12 BC by Indralan-native Gemu-Erka Kingdom, on their way to discovering Vintalli. The Gemu-Erka was the first people on Marligantos island. The city was mostly used as a pit-stop to the much larger island of Vintalli, but amassed plenty of persecuted exiles, that set up tribes outside of the city. After the demise of the Indralan Gemu-Erkas, Gadur remained intact and bustled to a great tribe of their own, where they had tremendous relations with the Vintallianos in Vintalli. The outsiders, though, now calling themselves the Marligan people after the great Chief Marligant the Warrior, started waging war with the Gaduridans, that ended up in the great defeat of the Marligan people to the Gaduridans and Vintallianos in 412 AD.

The island was de-facto partitioned and the Gaduridans kept control of the now-called Marligantos-territories. Gadur, who by 600 AD became a de-facto primitive city-state nation, remained neutral during the Embarrassing Attempt at War conflict-period of 616 - 666 between the factions of Bentaraiola and Vintallicano.

In 722 AD, Governor Ido Kesar Cano-Iola launched a surprise invasion of Vintalli, conquering the southern half of the island, in combination with General Capito Cora of Bentara who conquered the northern part.
