Kingdom of Moonfall
(Formerly the Grand Duchy of Brookshire)

Vidika

The city of Vidika suffered the great plague of Shalzaarian Dragon attacks almost weekly during the War of Shadows. A heavily defended point in the Grand Duchy, the Draconic Empire had been attempting to take this city for the last three years almost continually and the battering it suffered has been beginning to show. Crops are no longer sewn, homes remain left in a frost-crumbled ruin and any food or water that the city had was brought in from Moonfall by caravans escorted by the Royal Army. Despite the beating this city has taken at the hands of the Dragons, her citizenry was adamant about holding ground till the dragons were driven back.

Like Moonfall, Vidika is an ancient city, built by the Moon Elves for the Humans, then turned it over to them when they had proven they could manage it properly. Before the Shalzaarian Border War began, Vidika was a prosperous lumber producing community that supplied timber and wood products (including bows comparable to Elvish bows in quality). Many wood craftsman still remain here for the war effort, but lumber as a whole has been harder to come by because of the fighting.

With the end of the war, there is a great deal of hope that Vidika can return to her previous prosperity. With so many ships and buildings destroyed during the war and the construction of new towns for the survivors coming from the north, the potential is encouraging.
