	The region Var Bandor presently occupies was settled originally by the [[ethron]] of clan Yonmi, who held it along with the entirety of [[Nendor]] and current-day [[Lithling Valley]]. After the founding of the [[Republic of Earendam]] post-[[War of Fire]], the primarily [[human]] and [[aelin]] Earendamians began to spread west. The Yonmi ethron remaining in the region put up little resistance to Earendamian settlement, their numbers decimated by the war, and new Earendamian settlements were established all along the Dantaron and Aragol rivers in the most fertile parts of the region. During this period of expansion, Var Bandor was founded at the crux of the rivers Dantaron and Aragol to serve as a centralized location for transporting cargo from Harrud or the region's many farms back to the capitol.		===Founding===

During this period of expansion, Var Bandor was founded at the crux of the rivers Dantaron and Aragol to serve as a centralized location for transporting cargo from Harrud or the region's many farms back to the capitol. Var Bandor became a booming trade hub, the city's economy nearly as valuable as Earendam city's at its peak. Being the nexus point between Earendam, [[Gaald]], the western [[Brintors]], [[Gogoth]], and the dangerous but profitable routes to [[Harrud]], it also became a mixing pot of different [[lineage]]s, though humans were and are still the dominant lineage in the region.

	Var Bandor ~~became~~ a ~~booming trade hub~~, the ~~city~~'s ~~economy nearly as valuable~~ as Earendam city's ~~at its peak. Being~~ the ~~nexus point between Earendam,~~ [[~~Gaald~~]], ~~the western~~ [[~~Brintors~~]], [[~~Gogoth~~]], ~~and~~ the ~~dangerous but profitable routes~~ to ~~[[Harrud]]~~, ~~it also became a mixing pot~~ of ~~different [[lineages]], though humans were and are still the dominant lineage in~~ the ~~region~~.		===War of Night===
			During the [[War of Night]] the [[Arkhural\|Arhakhla]] targeted Var Bandor as part of their campaign against the Republic of Earendam. In the span of a day, the Arhakhla annihilated Var Bandor's militia, executed the governor and his household, and dubbed the city New Yithoul, fortifying it for use as a staging ground for assaults against [[Qilarn]] and Earendam. Marked by brutality and chaos, a full half of the city's buildings and infrastructure would be destroyed before the end of the war; there would be regular breakouts of unrest and fighting until [[Rveyelhi]], then an [[immortal divine]] of [[Iandir]], arrived in the city to re-asserting control over its populace. He technically accomplished this before conspiring with local Iandirites to seize power from the Arhakhla, installing Rveyelhi's cult to rule the city through the end of the war.

	~~Near the end of~~ the [[~~War~~ of ~~Night~~]], ~~the Arhakhla took Var Bandor as part of their campaign against the Republic, using it as~~ a ~~staging ground for an assault against the capitol and denying Earendam its precious resources. Their rule was marked~~ by ~~brutality and chaos, with repeated incidents of mass unrest and breakouts of renewed fighting leading to~~ the ~~destruction of a full half of the city's buildings and infrastructure before the end of the war. Conditions in the city continued to deteriorate under the chaotic fist of the Arhakhla until~~ [[~~Rveyelhi~~]]~~, then an~~ [[~~immortal divine~~]] of ~~[[Iandir]], arrived in~~ the city. ~~Rveyelhi~~ was ~~ostensibly there to aid~~ the ~~shuddeni forces in stabilizing and re-asserting control~~, ~~which he technically did before conspiring with another sigiled follower of Iandir to overthrow the Arhakhla~~ and ~~chase them out of the city shortly after the~~ [[~~Day of Two Dawns~~]] had ~~broken the shuddeni's other forces~~. Though Var Bandor ~~became~~ formally independent of shuddeni rule ~~at this time~~, many shuddeni post-war chose to remain in Var Bandor rather than return to [[Kutlaset]], leading to a robust minority population of shuddeni to this day.		After the [[Day of Two Dawns]], a force led by the immortal divine [[Calaera]] and [[Lystaran]] of the Golden Hand sieged Var Bandor with the goal of liberating the city. Though they succeeded, Lystaran was killed in the fighting, and through [[Ildavins]] the infrastructure Rveyelhi and his cult had built remained functional. Though Var Bandor had become formally independent of shuddeni rule, many shuddeni post-war chose to remain in Var Bandor rather than return to [[Kutlaset]], leading to a robust minority population of shuddeni to this day.

	Shortly after the collapse of Gogoth, the School of Heroes formally reopened its doors and Var Bandor became the epicenter of [[adventurer]] life, prompting Iandir to place the headquarters of the [[Guardians of Law]] there in an attempt to stem the constant adventurer-fueled violence of the post-Collapse era.		===Age of Adventure===

			Shortly after the collapse of the Kingdom of [[Gogoth]], the [[[School of Heroes]] formally reopened its doors and Var Bandor became the epicenter of [[adventurer]] life, prompting Iandir to place the headquarters of the [[Guardians of Law]] there in an attempt to stem the constant adventurer-fueled violence of the post-Collapse era.

			Var Bandoran society is highly stratified, its large underclass ruled over by oligarchs and magicians.

	===Religion===		===Religion===
			Being the former home of the [[Guardians of Law]], [[Iandir]] is the most commonly followed deity in Var Bandor, followed by [[Rveyelhi]]. Worship of [[Lilune]] has seen a surge, the local cult taking over Despite its mercantile nature, [[Ayaunj]] has almost no presence in the city, the style of capitalism preferred by Bandor's leaders closer to [[Khamurn]] in tone.
