Eda

Eda (Eh-da) also known as the Pearl City. Before being destroyed in the Burning of Eda (1846 Age of Peace) the Pearl City was a cultural capital of the Kahernia and considered by many to be the most beautiful city in the world.

The citizens of Eda tell that their city was founded during the Phiiratic Era duringing the Kayatiske Pantheon's Northern Revolution which brought forth the Phiirate of the 3rd Kayatiske Pantheon. A Zhastiike known as Retinab belonging to the Phiirate Miskene betrayed his Phiiratic order for the rebelling Northern Phiirate. Retinab led his 17 families in a lightning campaign of attack massacring the other Zhastiikdagukau who lived on Deritauphe at the time. The current site of Eda was at the time occupied by Miskene's city of Nashtuu and it was here that the remaining people of Deritauphe took refuge. Retinab had his families burn their own town and dismantled their buildings and compounds and use all the repurposed supplies to build a great wall encircling Nashtuu. From these walls Retinab's families rained countless arrows upon the city till all its inhabitants had been slaughtered.

Eda's walls eventually expanded to surround the entirety of Deritauphe save for the old site of Nashtuu which was leveled and rebuilt as the only true port on the island. This port area became extremely wealthy and for much of Eda's existence was the only part of Deritauphe foreigners could visit.

In Eda's early days it was an extremely successful pirate state. The walls of Deritauphe were strong and foreign invasions were minor occurrences in comparison to the elaborate and brutal wars fought within the city as the immense wealth flowing into the island built many extremely strong factions through out the small island kingdom. With the rise of the Eda Rause the prowess of Eda's sailors and soldiers became the scourge of all their neighbors for its 400 years. The brutality of the Eda Rause was legendary although it was notable additionally for being the first empire of the Kahernic world
