Caanae was the first official city settled on the continent of Aetherius. It was destroyed by the orc horde shortly after the beginning of the Second Age. The city has never been properly rebuilt, but the ruins now serve as a crossroads and popular gathering spot for the descendants of the ancient people responsible for founding it.
History
In the year 300 AH, Urlic, a follower of Avasyu and leader of one of the diasporic tribes of the Caan Valley, united the people of the Valley and built a central city to aid in the distribution of vital resources - the city of Caanae. The city was prosperous for many years and was the birthplace of Yaksha and Avya - prophets of Peace and Light - as well as Kalika Aisling, prophetess of Aesir, the God of War.
When the city of Stavenn was founded in the year 500 AH, it existed as a bitter rival to the more peaceful citizens of Caanae. A young man named Czevak grew up at this time and was perhaps influenced strongly by the teachings of Stavenn's patron, the God of War. He swiftly rose through the ranks of the military of Stavenn and became its General, waging war against the people of Caanae. The Generation War was fought over the course of several decades, until the Elder Nathariel met Czevak in battle on the plain of Mertashi.
