Bardunna, top. A city on the northern shore of the Censayner Sea, and the capital of the Bardunnat. The city, with its region, was conquered and annexed to the Dhammaratian Empire by empress Phalladie I, thus securing the routes to and from Riamenë.
etymology: Older Barbdunna, from barba (a felidoid predator) + dunnan "stairs, steps"; thus, "stairs of the barbas".
