Szodansdron

Szodansdron (or "Kingsgate" in traditional Istvanistani) is the former capital city of the Sovereign Confederation, located by the eastern shore of the White Elwynn at its convergence with the Kingsweep Tributary.

The city was the theater of several high-fatality incidents. During an internal conflict in Shireroth in the early 17th century, the area surrounding a recently opened fighting-pit was bombed by presently unknown forces. The city was rebuilt, but was again destroyed as a result of a nuclear strike during the Second Elwynnese Civil War, causing almost half a million fatalities.

As a consequence of the Council of Negrixnaht and the Second Session of the Council of Chryse, it was agreed that the ruined capitol (along with the remnant port of Tephal and the Elwynnese ruins of Dragonskeep and Glenfiddich) would be placed under the jurisdiction of the Cult of the Sacred Detonation at the discretion of the United Ecclesiastical Corporation of Benacia and the Guild of Magisters-Carnifex.
