Daurmont (Isselmere)
Daurmont, or more precisely the alderdom of Greater Daurmont, is the capital and primary cultural and financial centre of the United Kingdom of Isselmere-Nieland (UKIN). Comprised of several metropolitan boroughs or burghs, Daurmont is the largest and most densely populated conurbation in the UKIN.
Origins
The area within the modern boundaries of the Greater Daurmont Alderdom has been inhabited continuously for several millennia. Situated upon the River Isling (Anguistian An Uísliað or Greywater), present-day Daurmont emerged from the ancient Anguistian communities of Baíle an hUíslaed on the river and the massive hill fort at Ard an Ghéalich (Heights of the Moon).
After the seizure of the area by the Anglo-Frisians, the communities retained their names albeit in a much altered form. The destroyed hill fort at Ard na Ghéalich-mór became Daúrmondsberg or Mount of the Lasting Moon, whereas the village on the river became Isling. Upon Daurmont, local Anglo-Frisian kings built their own forts, culminating in Heringhof Castle (present-day Herincourt Castle), the first royal residence.
