First founded on the 22nd of Daedalan, 623 years after the fall of the Seleucarian Empire, '''Hallowed Targossas, the Guardian's Hearth''' is the city of [[Good]]. Once heralded as the Dawnspear, its original foundations were laid when the [[Bloodsworn Gods]] embedded the legendary [[Sword of Dunamis]] into the bank of the [[Zaphar River]]. This act created a new branch named the [[Silverveil River]], which runs to the east coast south of [[Delos]] and through the newly formed archipelago that made up Targossian lands. | |||
