Celebarad (also known in Celebaradian as Dinas Celebarad, or City of Celebarad) is the capital and largest city of the eponymous Kingdom of Celeberad. Celebarad is a port city, with a harbour to the Great Western Sea. Due to its location, it is an important city in the trade between Keltia, Benacia and Cibola. Within the Kingdom of Celebarad, the city remains the most important settlement, being home to the King and housing the government of the Kingdom. It is also one of the oldest cities on Micras, founded by the Menelmacari.
Etymology
The name Celebarad derives from the Menelmacari for Silver Fortress, after the silver mines that are found in the vicinity of the city.
History
Celebarad was founded in the 15th century by the Menelmacari. Following its foundation, it has a long history as a port city and hub of commerce and industry. After the Fall of Menelmacar, its city status was relegated by the Viking invaders. in the late 17th century, the city that was reduced to a town re-established itself as a strategic location on the Great Western Sea. With the arrival of the Calbain, Celebarad quickly rose to prominence as the most important staple city for the trade between Calbion and North Island. The city retained far-reaching autonomy during its time as part of the Calbain overseas empire, with allowed it to develop a separate culture and system of government.
Landmarks
As capital city of the Kingdom, Celebarad is home to the Silver Palace, an illustrious complex in the hills of the upper city which is not only the home of the King of Celebarad, but also the seat of the Council of Nobles and the meeting place of the General Conclave. Just outside the city limits is the sacred mountain of Ailendil, with on its top the Golden Cross or Golden Pillar of the Gods, which is both a religious and national symbol for the Celebaradi. Other places of note within the city are the Hillhouses, homesteads built steeply into the rock of the upper city, the Great Port, and Caer Isarna fortress, which consists of an intricate network of guarded towers, bridges and a castle.
