Eldara

Eldara is a settlement in Ordona Province, built atop an ancient Ikanian settlement. It is located on the border of the Ikana Canyons, roughly 15 miles southeast of Nal Ordona.

History
Eldra was founded on the Plains of Ordona by the Kingdom of Ikana, on northern edge of the homeland, the Ikana Canyons. In 2993 BG, Ikana suffered the sudden onset a three-day Civil War and was utterly destroyed, leaving behind only ruins and corpses. Eldara, like Malcove, escaped whatever curse afflicted the Ikanian homeland and remained fertile.In 2384 BG, King Rhogim Nohansen V took the throne of the Kingdom of Hyrule, and would be known as Rhogim the Wise, ushering in an era of prosperity and reform until his death in 2287 BG. During his reign, numerous House Nohansen vassal Houses left their holdings in Hyrule Field and Lake Hylia to settle the Plains of Ordona. The ruins of Eldara were rediscovered and resettled, and the city became a sheltered community, a central noble manor or castle home to one of the larger Houses, surrounded by rural villages governed by their bannermen, but over time the free breeding regardless of bloodline diminished the hold of Hylian noble houses, and the Ordonian houses faded to little more than a few pointy-eared holdouts with delusions of nobility. Eldara serves as the southern border of Ordona Province with the haunted canyons of Ikana, and as such is guarded by Ordonian Rangers. Sojourns into the cursed lands to the south bring back the horns of Ison Beetles, which are prized as musical instruments, as well as the cursed blue metal of Ikanian weapons, favored by Rangers as crossbow tips.
