The capital city is Stento on the Nevanda coast, while the larger cultural center of Haulstrad, “City of Music” straddles the Vengua River. The province is well developed in terms of industry and transportation infrastructure and comparatively high per-capita income. |
Modern-day Cappodan comprises territory annexed by Arqualan in the 4th and 5th centuries, once populated by distinct ethnic groups that were variously aligned with and opposed to Arqi expansion. Ectin the Great consolidated the territory into a single military province in his early campaigns against the Vengua. During the reign of Quanio the Humble, the arrangement was made permanent, but by that time in the early 7th century, the native Coneli and Valgenz populations had been assimilated or displaced by settlers from Arqualan. Today, the population is predominantly Crudag and Lenjic, Arqi speakers, and Tylofosti. The population is approximately 4.5 million. | Modern-day Cappodan comprises territory annexed by Arqualan in the 4th and 5th centuries, once populated by distinct ethnic groups that were variously aligned with and opposed to Arqi expansion.
