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.

Origin

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 hUísliad on the river and the massive hill fort at Ard-na nDhaírmór or Height of Great Oak in reference to the fort's massive oaken walls.

After the seizure of the area by the Anglo-Frisians, the communities retained their names albeit in a much altered form. The site of the destroyed hill fort of Ard-na Dhaírmór became Daúrmúnd[1] or the citadel of the village on the river, Isling. Upon this protector, successive local Anglo-Frisian kings built their own forts, culminating in Herincourt Castle (formerly the Heringhof[2]), a royal residence from Forthar I to Edmund II.
