Delán
Delán (de-LAN, from Daltirich Dalítlan, dal-IT-lan) is the capital of Deltirot, one of the six autonomous regions of Ororr. It is the largest and most prosperous city in the region, a centre for trade, industry and Daltirich culture. The city lies on the Green Wiyel, the central tributary of River Wiyel, known locally as the River Tee.
Historically it was the capital city of the Kingdom of Deltirot.
Name
Dalítlan in ancient Daltirich means “seat of the Dal”, referring to the ancient war-chief of the Deltirot people. Delán has been the Doroun rendering of the name for many centuries. Both names are used officially, but in Deltirot the local name is used, while the rest of the world calls it Delán.
History
The original settlement was founded on the Dartine Hill, above a convenient bridging point of the river, between two areas of high ground. It later became the seat of the Dálit kings who ruled Deltirot until it was annexed by Ororr.
