The city, located along the Vacora River, was established at the same time as the formation of the Kingdom of Carops in 1266 under the reign of the first monarch, Othæglin. The construction of Fornænda would become the single largest construction exercise in all of Caropsyne history, taking over 150 years to complete. Although the original city is no longer standing for the most part, some structures from the days of the Old Kingdom have managed to survive the centuries including the Cansarte Palace and the Arch of Nepios. Central Fornænda's architecture is a mixture of baroque and art nouveau styles while outer districts are dominated by modern and utilitarian in line with the nation's social democratic philosophy.
Fornænda is the undisputed cultural center for the vast Caropsyne diaspora and the most visited city in all of Paradisia. It is the center of national government, commerce, finance, transportation, entertainment, and education. The city is host to the headquarters of both the Council of Nations and the Thearean Community. Fornænda is well-known for its exceptional resturants and cafes, romantic cobblestone squares and marble fountains, and beautiful parks and lively markets.
