Known as "The Isle of Eternal Dawn", '''Ardoris''' is located in the southeast area of the continent along the [[Perennial Coast]] and is located in a river delta between the rivers [[Tempest]] and [[Rage]]. Over the centuries it was built up on the network of islands that covered the marshy river delta much like the Venice of Earth. It is a beautiful city of canals that draws its power from the water of the two rivers that bracket it, as well as a system of aqueducts from the surrounding mountains. Across the rivers are mighty cliffs that are topped by a pair of identical castles that face each other: The [[Palace of the Mountain]] to the west is home to the Shogun [[Siranto]], and the [[Palace of the Winds]] to the east is home to the High Priestess [[Khasi]].

Ardoris is the capitol of a Shogunate that covers most of the Perennial Coast. Because of that, it is one of the most well-defended cities in all of [[Novia]]. There are two moon towers and a very large contingent of guards. They are divided into five corps, each devoted to pursuing a different virtue, and different duties. These corps are the [[Ardoris/Azure Dragon|Azure Dragon]], [[Ardoris/Black Turtle|Black Turtle]], [[Ardoris/Vermillion Bird|Vermillion Bird]], [[Ardoris/White Tiger|White Tiger]], and [[Ardoris/Yellow Dragon|Yellow Dragon]]

The Isle of Eternal Dawn is also home to [[Sequanna]], the [[Titan]] of [[Love]]. Sequanna's influence has shaped Ardoris in the past, but no one has seen her as of late. Her absence may be affecting the town. While the Shogun and the Priestess are married and rule jointly, rumor has it that they are estranged and now reside separately. Rumor has it that the feud has something to do with the [[Necropolis]], the largest concentration of undead in Novia, which is not too far to the west of Ardoris.<ref>Epic [[Update of the Avatar]] #76, https://www.shroudoftheavatar.com/?p=40866</ref>

==Lore==
:''City of Sequanna, the Titan of Love. The port of Ardoris is a center commerce and culture, known for its majestic ancient canals. In the wake of an attack by the undead, its rulers are now divided by mistrust and rumor…''<ref>[http://steamcommunity.com/market/listings/753/326160-Ardoris Ardoris], [[Steam]] Shroud of the Avatar: Forsaken Virtues Trading Card</ref>

==History==
In the era depicted in {{BotA}}, Ardoris is a shogunate ruled by [[Shogun Tsuneo]], and was considered the second greatest city-state in the region (behind only [[Midras]]).
