Daingean

Daingean is a city located in Dunlann Province, Faneria. With a population of just over eighty-four thousand people, the municipality is not a major city in the modern day, but remains an archaeological site and popular tourist destination as well as the site of a major Republican Party convention center due to its long history.

History

Early History

In antiquity, Daingean was founded as the city of Deighan by Fenni settlers sometime around xxxx BC, and was an early conquest of the Gallic Oestrynetes tribe, who integrated with the local population similarly to much of the region's population. The city was briefly occupied by Latin conquerors in xxx BC shortly after the Gallian Wars, but spirited resistance by the local clans made holding the territory for long unfeasible, with Latin troops

Early Second Kingdom

Basin Wars

After the foundation of the Kingdom of the Ninerivers in 1398, the City of Daingean and its vassal states declared war over the title of King of the Ninerivers, which remained the ceremonial title of the City's elective ruler. Though lacking actual authority over the Principalities, the City retained a nominal role as head of any coalition that would form in the region in the event of an invasion, and as a result went on to fight for three years before receding to a status quo in 1401. The issue would again be raised in The Red Plains War, the Great Basin War, and finally the Dunlann War, ending in 1470 with the total annexation of the city-state after successive rounds of battering by the early Royal Army.

Republican Era

Daingean held a special reverence to the Republican movement in Faneria, as it was considered the site of the first civilized elective system that freed Fhainnin clans from representative politics bound by family ties. However, despite investment, the area attracted few immigrants as it had very little to offer beyond its port, which had long since been outstripped in every manner by nearby Comghallport. However, the city attracted a large temporary population of archaeologists and other specialists eager to pick apart the many buried remains of the city from as far back as its founding, with a boom in historical interest and the advancement of archaeological methods helping to uncover and cement much of the early history of trade in the Ninerivers and beyond. In several cases, goods as far afield as Crona were discovered in graves built over in the Third Century AD, with residue of a Varshan-specific wine contained within Coscivian-made jugs present.
