Faldoon (Total War)

Faldoon is an ancient Gerudo city built atop the remains of a Kovalian ruin that has been taken over by the Stalfos, in the Ordona Rifts, approximately 15 miles northeast of Aslosus.

History
Circa 8500 BG, the region that would become Faldoon was home to the Kovalians, a mysterious reptilian people strongly linked to Kovaloo, First Sage of Spirits. The Kovalians mastered the lost arts of Spirit magic and Necromancy, working great wonders until their civilization collapsed circa 8000 BG. They constructed a vast series of underground crypts and libraries of forbidden dark magic underneath the southern mountains fringing the Gerudo Desert. They would eventually turn the entire area into a desert, perishing shortly after.

During the Golden Age of the Gerudo Empire, it ruled a territory ranging from the Zora River in the east to the Coast of Ontheon in the west, and Gerudo settlers expanded south into the fertile Plains of Ordona. The city of Faldoon was founded in the foothills of the southern mountains between the Plains of Ordona and Gerudo Desert. However, the city was struck by a series of devastating plagues, which caused the Gerudo to build a vast necropolis, needed for the sheer amount of deaths.

This would lead the Gerudo to discover the ancient Kovalian dungeons and their knowledge on Spirit magic and some Necromancy too. The discoveries weren't enough to keep the Gerudo from abandoning the city completely. The city would not stay empty forever though, as many Stalfos have been seen patrolling the desolate ruins.
