==History==
==History==
TBA
Isidar was inhabited by the Cartesian people and their ancestors for several millennia before the arrival of Levantines. During the Age of Exploration, Isidar was settled by the Kiravians in an attempt to counter Burgundine influence in the region. During the Kiro-Burgundian Wars, Isidar was used as a base for raids against Burgundine holdings in Crona. By 1801, it was ceded to Ehemoan control as the costs in holding the territory began to outweigh its benefits.
 
Under Ehemoan rule, Isidar became the commercial center of the country, as its location allowed major trade and transit routes to be established in the region, connecting the southern regions with the Ehemoan core of the Matrelisian Valley. Nevertheless, the local Veroui (people of Burgundine descent) increasingly grew discontent over the next two centuries as a result of their unofficial status as second-class citizens, as well as a lack of autonomy in regional affairs. This culminated in the Isidarian Revolt, in which the local populace assisted the United Republic in driving the Ehemoans out of Isidar, as part of the then-concurrent [[Ehemoan front]] of the [[Final War of the Deluge]]. As part of the Treaty of Reglavine, which closed the Ehemoan Front in February 2023, Isidar was transfered to and annexed by the United Republic as an autonomous territory.
