(ダーナ Darna) is a fortress city located in the midst of the Yied Desert in Jugdral. An oasis amidst a harsh desert, Darna is considered a sacred site in Jugdrali culture, as it is where the Miracle of Darna took place.
History
Late in the regime of the Loptyr Empire, Darna Fortress was the headquarters last refuge of the revolution against the Empire's grasp, and by Grann 632 the dwindling remnant of the rebellion had barricaded itself within Darna, knowing they were only delaying their inevitable defeat. Their fortunes changed with the descent of Naga and eleven other dragons upon Darna, an event known as the Miracle of Darna; the dragons conferred their powers upon twelve of the warriors within, transforming them into the Twelve Crusaders.
Following the Loptyr Empire's downfall and the rise of the modern nations of Jugdral, Darna came to be regarded as a holy site by Jugdral's people, particularly in Grannvale. As such, in Grann 757 when reports arrived in Grannvale of an assault on the city by the armies of Isaach (in reality, only the handiwork of Rivough[1]), Grannvale declared war on Isaach, a war which Isaach ultimately lost. In the aftermath of the Battle of Belhalla, the dancer Sylvia left her children, Corpul and Leen, in the Darna convent before disappearing.[2]
In the intervening years, Darna came under the leadership of Bramsel, a former merchant, referred to as the city's Count. Under Bramsel, Darna acted as a servant state to the Grannvale Empire.[3] When Seliph's liberation army came to the Yied Desert, Bramsel sought to defeat him personally in a bid to win the bounty placed upon him, and so deployed his mercenary army following Seliph's capture of Fort Melgln, preying on Seliph's weariness from fighting both the Loptyrians at the Yied Shrine and Ishtore at Melgln. His bid failed, and Darna was seized by Seliph, where he learned from Lewyn the legend of the Miracle of Darna.
