Easthampton is a city and metropolitan area in the Eastern part of [[Arcerion]]'s [[Moorden Governorate]], and is Arcerion's fourth-largest city with a burgeoning population of almost 2.3 million people. Easthampton is located in the Eastern [[Aileach Mountains]] and is considered to be the soical, cultural, financial and commercial centre of Eastern Arcerion. Distinctively, Easthampton is one of the few Arcer cities that is not based on one of the [[Geography of Arcerion|major rivers of Arcerion]], and is instead entirely inland. | '''Easthampton''' is a city and metropolitan area in the Eastern part of [[Arcerion]]'s [[Moorden Governorate]], and is Arcerion's fourth-largest city with a burgeoning population of almost 2.3 million people.

Originally founded in 1834 as part of Arcer expansion into the Southeastern Cronan Peninsula, Easthampton was founded only five years prior to the [[Arcer Bush Wars|Second Bush War]]. During this time, a major engagement was fought at the settlement, when in 1848 members of 1st Battalion, Royal Arcerion Regiment defended the settlement from a large indigenous assault aimed at removed Arcerion from the Northern Washkaran Area. Following the war, the establishment of the [[Arco National Railway Service]] (ANRS) in 1886 resulted in the nation's first heavy commercial rail line from the Kinnaird-Kurst areas to Easthampton to carry raw resources to ports for transport to manufacturing facilities abroad. This was followed by a significant economic boom over the next three decades. | Originally founded in 1834 as part of Arcer expansion into the Southeastern Cronan Peninsula, Easthampton was founded only five years prior to the [[Arcer Bush Wars|Second Bush War]].
