Celdon lies in the [[Belshain Valley]], along the two banks of the great [[Canfeld River]]. Nine white stone bridge connect the two halves of the city. The city is consists of tall houses of timber and fired brick lining narrow stoned roads worn smooth by uncounted feet and beasts of burden. The Canfeld itself flows from the ancient granite of the [[Luparvium Mountains]] slowly to the [[Ironsea]]. Landings for merchant craft from the Ironsea line the banks in Celdon, and the riverside areas are known for their color, noise, and exotic wares.<ref name=TheReignOfAlfrega>1999/11 [[Release]] - [[The Reign of Alfrega]]</ref>

During the time of [[Viamontian]] occupation starting in 804 RC, Celdon was the capital of Aluvia. [[Thrushhaven]], the traditional highland fortress of the Aluvian Kings, was deemed too old and remote for Viamont Royal Governor [[Alfric]], and thus he began the construction of the [[Tower of Alfric]] on an island in the middle of the Canfeld and Celdon itself.<ref name=TheReignOfAlfrega>1999/11 [[Release]] - [[The Reign of Alfrega]]</ref>

Celdon was also the location where the rebellion of the [[Orts]] against [[Alfrega]] started after the execution of an Aluvian peasant.<ref name=TheReignOfAlfrega>1999/11 [[Release]] - [[The Reign of Alfrega]]</ref>
