==Cities of Stendhal==

I'm compiling the descriptions, and histories of each city into one place for personal convenience. This info can be found in the atlas and the city's own page. I'm also looking at pages like Stendhal History.

'''Ados'''

Ados is a coastal city with a very important port where merchants arrive to sell their wares. Ados is the end of an important commercial route that has its heart in Deniran, the capital of Faiumoni. It is populated by 300 persons.

It is in a food crisis right now, since the farm town Semos is suffering constant attacks from monsters and thieves. Ados now pays high fees to good heroines and heroes that can help protect the town Semos and the food caravans that go between Semos and Ados.

'''This is important history for the haunted shack'''

Near Ados there is a haunted area where a famous battle took place. The area is now populated by some spirits of those who died there. Take care because they don't rest in peace.

The Great Battle of Faiumoni: The demon lord, Blordrough, was still weakened from the crash, and had to retreat from the pursuing elfs. He started retreating towards the east, but encountered the heavy fortified city of Ados.

Cornered by the hunting elves at southwest, the Deniran army from Ados at east and southeast, the Ados mountains at north and the high Ados rock at west, he fought a desperate battle which would result in a great swamp of the once green and lush Ados fields.

By overflowing the lake and sacrificing many of his units in the maneuver, Blordrough managed to make a breach in the allied lines leading south to the waters, where he sailed off with the remnants of his severely decimated legion, never to be heard of again...

... but he swore to take revenge on mankind once his powers had returned....

'''Not a lot is written about Ados castle.''' In game it is currently being looted by thieves while the nobility, the blourgh warriors, hide in their underground bunker.

'''Fado City'''

Formerly called Quamos, Fado is a city by the Or'ril river and the second in the commercial route from Deniran to Ados. Fado guards the a nearby bridge over the river. The city is on the crossing of paths to the coastal village of Erest at the east (which supplies Fado with fish, meat and vegetables, much like Semos does for Ados) and Kad'Mit, a city lost in the mountains, through the path of the great Southwestern desert. While not as important as the maritime and commercial Ados, Fado is growing fast by being the single goods provider for Kad'Mit, Erest and Tharas (another coastal village) and enjoys of an active social life being the preferred city for celebrating marriages and tasting the most elaborated meals

Located in the western part of this area, Fado City is a small, but nevertheless important, as a centre of Faiumoni's spiritual and cultural life. Lovers from all over the country travel to this town to tie the knot in ancient and venerable Fado Church and also often spend their honeymoon in the nearby hotel. Less romantic persons might rather want to visit the Fado Battle Arena and attend to show fights between captured monsters or local heroes.

Whether love or violence is their desire - hungry travelers are well advised to visit Fado Tavern where Old Mother Helena pampers the guests with her legendary soup. This meal is said to strengthen your inner healing powers but even if you dont believe in such tales you should try it for its elaborate taste.
