Fort Lammerdale

Fort Lammerdale is a port city on the eastern coast of the main island of the Free Republic of Arbolada and lies 215 miles (346 km) east of the capital of Sunpoint. It is both the county seat and largest city in the Espada Parish. The closest major city is Boca Afilida, which lies 74 miles away to the southwest.

As of 611, Fort Lammerdale is one of Arbolada's "primary ports", with the other classified cities being Port Andrew and Los Bosques. Fort Lammerdale is also famous for its plethora of commercial and personal marinas and harbors, including tourism spurred by its location, climate, and attractions such as the eponymous remnants of the fort left behind by the Nolton Empire in the nearby Lammerdale Cay. Fort Lammerdale is also an important cruise ship destination for trips through the Maravan and Torch seas, and hosts the Arboladan Navy's Fort Lammerdale Naval Base.

Fort Lammerdale was originally an Evrosan colonial settlement by the name of Punta de la Espada, named so due to sitting at the tip of the Espada Peninsula. However, after the 226 CC skirmishes between the Evrosan and Nollish crowns, the area fell under the control of the Nolton Empire as an exclave of its Arboladan territories. To guard the newfound seized settlement from Evrosan naval sieges, the Nollish constructed a sizeable citadel on the sands of the christened Lammerdale Cay. As the mainland settlement grew under Nollish administration, it was gradually referred to as just "Fort Lammerdale" over its original Evrosan name.
