Aszód (Ruvelkan Script: Iůĭú; Hayeren: Ասզադ) is the capital and largest city of the Aszód District. With a population of 2,204,231, it is the fourth most populous city in Ruvelka and is one of the nation’s major cultural and industrial centers. The city was founded in 42 BCE on the delta of the Vanadzor River and is recognized as Ruvelka’s oldest continuously inhabited city.
As a major coastal city located on the western coast of Siduri, Aszód was an important trade and political center both as part of the Symmerian Empire and Adamdar Empire as well the Mansuri Rawwadid Sultanate. In 1487, it became the official capital of the Hayeren-led Principality of Szolnok and was a founding member of the short-lived Ruvelkan Confederation. During the Confederation Dispute of 1730, Szolnok allied with the Principality of Debrecen and went on to assist in the foundation of the Ruvelkan Imperium as a result of several ongoing disputes with the neighboring Syaran Clans.
The city largely escaped the devastation of the Red War, but suffered catastrophic damage during the Ruvelkan Civil War as a result of a prolonged siege. Following the civil war, however, the newly founded Principality focused significant resources on rebuilding Aszód as it was one of only two major ports at the time. By the late 1920s, Aszód had been mostly restored to its former glory before suffering a similar fate during the Siduri War. It was once again rebuilt in the post-war era and rapidly grew to be the principal cultural and artistic center of Ruvelka’s native Hayeren culture. The city’s reputation for stubborn resistance became a cultural icon of Ruvelka that later played a major role in Ruvelkan propaganda when it was once again besieged during the Zemplen War.
In the modern era, Aszód is well-known for its vibrant mix of Hayeren, Ruvelkan, Mansuri, and Clan cultures making it a major tourist destination for those interested in western-Siduri history. It possesses a plethora of museums, hosts several annual festivals, and is the home of several of Ruvelka’s major sports tournaments.
