Deya (Total War)

Deya is a Hylian village in Hyrule Field, located on the western shore of Lake Hylia and along the Zora River, approximately 55 miles southwest of Gundrumether. The village is built around the southern end of the Bridge of Hylia.

History
Deya traces its origins to the Tribes of Akkala as they emigrated from Arcadia. Like other Akkalan settlements, it began as a sheltered community, a central Noble manor or castle home to one of the larger Houses, surrounded by rural villages governed by their bannermen. Deya is located on the southern end of the Bridge of Hylia, making it very strategically important.

When the Kingdom of Akkala was replaced with the Kingdom of Hyrule, Deya came under the rule of the current Hylian royalty. With the establishment of Ordona Province, the nearby Hills of Baumer would mark the very southern edge of what is considered the Kingdom of Hyrule, between them and Mesu Ordona.

During the Rise of Ganon, Baumaron Arthon would prove his House's worth and defend Princess Nylin Nohansen Zelda I, eventually marrying her. Baumaron's actions would elevate House Arthon from the Castellans of the Bridge of Hylia, to the Lohns of Deya.

Hylian Military presence in Deya increased over the years, thanks in no small part to the Gerudo Wars and the Moblin invasion of King Ganon.
