Omdor

Omdor, originally called Yunush, is the capital of Gedeom. It is situated on the Gallamei river, north of Mersis. It is the largest city in the kingdom, and houses both the Palace of Alessa and the palace of Saint Sidlai.

Yunush under Jedla
In the year 346 ED, King Ellazaam of Jedla ordered a fort, fort Yunush, to be built on the Gallamei River. As years passed, farms sprung up in the area and used the fort as a market of sorts. Eventually, a town sprung up around fort Yunush. The Gallamei River allowed trade to many towns on the river, and Yunush quickly became renowned as an important trading site in the kingdom of Jedla.

Independent Yunush
After the fall of Jedla in 512 ED, Yunush continued to flourish as a town. It was renowned for its markets, which were still held in Fort Yunush itself. The town housed 6,000 people and was the largest for 12 days of walking in any direction. It was ruled by a king, and the people worshipped a variation of Derevan, called Uldar, that had four heads, one for each season.

Rule under The High King Omdor
In 786 ED, Yunush was invaded by the Paelirrin, a tribe of barbarians from the southern Gedeom valley. The Paelirrin ruled the city for 12 tyrannical years, until they were overthrown by The High King Omdor. After Omdor succesfully saved the city, he began expanding the city's power. He created a kingdom spanning from Jedla in the east to the outskirts of Kain in the west. The kingdom was the most powerful in all of the Valley of Gedeom. However, after The High King's death in 824, the kingdom fell and a power struggle between the duke of Jedla, the prince of Omdor, and later the High Captain of the Guard ensued. The duke of Jedla eventually won, but the kingdom was much weaker than it once was.

Omdor under Jedla
From the years 824 until 1086, Omdor was ruled by Jedlan Kings. Omdor actually prospered under their rule, so much so that in 1086 the king of Jedla moved the kingdom's capital to Omdor. This new Omdor-Jedlan empire called itself The Kingdom of Gedeom.

Kingdom/Empire of Gedeom
The kingdom of Gedeom became a true power with Omdor as its capital. They allied themselves with Mersis and conquered Kain. By 1098 ED, they had control over the entire Gedeom Valley.
