Presa de Maderd was founded following the exodus of [[Axios]] in the late 1630's. The land along the banks of the Timberwoods River was deemed ample enough for growing crops, and was thus settled on.

History

Construction

Following the exodus in 1640, the Santegian and Harian ships arrived along the eastern coast of Atlas, ultimately settling upon the Timberwoods delta - chosen for its abundance of fertile ground. Presa de Madera would be gradually built across the islands of the delta, utilising its distributaries as a source of food and as a medium for transport. The distributaries of the delta would eventually form the eminent canals of the city, as each island was reinforced with stone banks to prevent erosion or degradation, becoming an integral aspect of the city's transportation and defenses. Further alterations were made to the surrounding land of the city, including the widening of the main distributary, allowing for the construction of earthen dikes and enabling for the erection of the city's infamously tall walls. The plains beyond its banks were significantly transformed from agriculture over time, as a result of the accumulation of alluvium in its soil. Following the completion of the city walls, a festival was held to celebrate the opening where those of all races came to explore the various landmarks and streets within the city.
