Mola Ram (Commonspeak: Molæ Rem) is a ruined city that resides in the south modern-day Aerla. Reportedly founded in 1528 AN by the rulers of Hatay as a regional capital for the Shahdad Region, the city prospered as a hotspot for the gas and oil extraction industry that dominated the region. After the collapse of Hatay, local rulers attempted to keep control of the city from the tribal warbands that flooded into the Shahdad Region. Archeological evidence suggests that any permanent settlements in the city ceased to be roughly around 1610 AN, with the inhabitants leaving the city for the surrounding countryside.
