	The '''Sacred Alluvial Lands of Hadlow''' (Oruk-Hadl: ''Hadlow n'Melthrune'' [hɒd.lo nᵊ.mɛl.θɹ̠ʉ.nə]), commonly referred to as '''Hadlow''', is a [[wikipedia:theocracy\|theocratic]] tribal confederation of city-states that inhabit the [[River Caledon\|Caledon]] (Oruk-Hadl: ''Zalsee'') river delta, which cuts across the arid steppe lands of Orbesti. Hadlow was founded in 1 HE by the High Priestess Leocor Hadlit, after leading several members of the Oruk-Mai and Oruk-Fala tribes southward from Red Lake (Oruk-Hadl: ''Orsee'') following the destruction of the Mai Empire.

	'''Hadlow n'Melthrune''' is named after the former High Priestess of Neneveh, Leocor Hadlit (IPA: [li.o.koɹ̠ hɒd.liʃ]), who lived between ~~11721~~ and ~~11778 QC~~, and is generally credited with leading the Zalsee Migration from the Orsee (Red Lake) to the Zalsee (Caledon) river delta. The Oruk-Hadl term ''n'Melthrune'' (IPA: [nᵊ.mɛl.θɹ̠ʉ.nə]) is a pairing of the words ''melth'' and ''rune''. ''Melth'' refers to a type of red alluvial soil that is rich in nutrients and produces bountiful crops. ''Melth'' is deposited in the Zalsee delta during the annual flood season, an event considered crucial to the survival of the Oruk-Hadl people and their agrarian lifestyle. For this reason, ''melth'' is considered sacred and is associated with the goddess of agriculture and fertility, Gaya. The Oruk-Hadl term ''rune'' literally translates to "can be found," and is generally used in reference to the location of a commodity or people. ''n'Melthrune'' would then approximately translate into [[wikipedia:English language\|English]] as the "Sacred Alluvial Lands," with the preposition ''n'' being a plural indicator.

			Hadlow is located at the mouth of the Zalsee (Caledon) river, the primary waterway in the semi-arid Orbesti region of [[Keltia]]. The mouth of Zalsee where Hadlow is located is a narrow alluvial plain and river delta, hemmed in by a high plateau on either side. Snowmelt causes the Zalsee to crest every 8-9 months, which is responsible for depositing rich sediments from Orsee (Red Lake) and Lake Tulsa onto this alluvial plain (an event registered as the beginning of a Qarnoan year). These deposited sediments, called ''melth'' by the native Oruk-Hadl, is highly rich in phosphate and nitrates, vital plant nutrients, thus allowing Hadlow to maintain an high density, agrarian society in an otherwise hostile environment.
