	[[Eieber]] founded the city of Arindell in A.Y. 11, or the first year of the [[Ages#The Golden Age\|Golden Age]]. At the time, construction was laborious, the [[Dragons]] of [[High Mountain]] refused to let any stone be quarried from their eyrie, and the stone on the far side of the valley was considered of poor quality. While work on surveying and grading the land was underway, the first major project was the construction of the dam and filling of [[Long Lake]]. The lake then supplied water to a series of locks and canals, which connected Arindell to [[Lake Bara]], and by way of the [[Thenius River]] to the [[Brutish Sea]]. At the time, this was planned to be the main concourse in and out of Arindell, as it also connected the city directly to [[Ataya]].

	However, as the Alliance began to take shape, the main population and economic center of the region proved to be at [[Sun's Beacon]]. The route out of Long Lake and through the [[Agras Plain]] was efficient for moving cargo and materials, but much too slow for the people needing to go ~~too~~ and from Sun's Beacon. As such, a new route through the relatively uninhabited [[Lowland Plains]] was selected. To aid in rapid travel, the new technology of steam locomotives was selected, and a rail line built to connect the two cities.

			===Dragon Fence===
			Arindell was one of the first cities to have a [[Dragon Fence\|dragon fence]] and human exclusion zone. Being so close to [[High Mountain]], the area had long been a [[dragon]] hunting ground. As such this has made outdoor recreation somewhat difficult; there are parks and lakes on the valley floor, but no access to the surrounding mountains and wilderness regions.

	During the city's initial construction, a very complex pattern of roads was laid out that at the time didn't correspond to any of the existing structures. These were very fine stone roads, much nicer than the dirt or log tracks that dominated the rest of the sprawling community. The roads were part of a massive spell-form, during the entire valley into a permanent [[Magic#Ritual Site\|ritual site]]. As structures were invariably built around the newly-added roads, originally the life-blood of the citizens walking the streets actually powered the spell(blood being a ritual element, no power was actually drawn from it; instead the scale of the spell-form meant people simply standing on the street could fulfill the ritual component).

	By the end of the [[Ages#The Golden Age\|Golden Age]], the original function of this pattern was forgotten, and most of the city had stone roads. The old road surfaces were ripped up and replaced(though the actual spell-form was deep underground), and by midway through the [[Ages#The Second Age\|Second Age]], the pattern had been obliterated; replaced by modern roads featuring improved urban planning. Fortunately, the city was then densely-populated enough for the spell form to always have power. There was no longer a need to concentrate people on the actual streets.

	The ~~dimension is vast, one of the largest ever discovered, whereof the edge~~ has ~~never~~ been found or mapped. It is theorized, however, that several dozen flat dimensions may actually be connected, forming one super-massive flat dimension. It has been estimated that, if they are indeed connected, the distance between [[~~Panta~~]] ~~(a settlment near the edge) and Arindell the city would be approximately 92,000~~,~~000 miles. The city of Arindell is thought in roughly the center of the dimension; meaning~~ that ~~if it were round, the approximate diameter would~~ be ~~184,000,000 or one-hundred-eighty-four-million miles. Slightly less than the diameter of a standard earth-normal planet's orbit around its star.~~		The Dimension has been renamed to [[Aren]], any links that point here should be redirected.

	~~If these assumptions are correct, the total surface area of the dimension containing Arindell woubld be roughly 26,619,000,000 or over twenty-six-billion square miles.~~

	~~A traveler who left Arindell and started walking to Panta, assuming an average of 20 miles each day, would take 12,602 years to reach Panta~~.
