History
Bryndyd is one of several ancient giant cities, that is, cities founded in very ancient times by the Geddamin Giants and subsequently ruled by Neptultchi and Moigthe. Bryndyd is favorably poised in the north of the Sea of Asbardy, facing the mouths of the Rhaunve River which it historically has controlled. Bryndyd was first called 'Bambashathra' by the giants as reported in Kalaman records and then called 'Neptulxapxi' by the Tuadbe survivors of the Neptultchi Civilization. The Moigthe tribes of southwestern Pytharnia who occupied the site called it 'Birniadd' which has been translated into English as 'Bryndyd.' The year when Bryndyd, or rather ancient Bambashathra, was founded is unknown and some Kemerite legends ascribe its origin to before the Flood of Aturyanda.
Kemerite Giants
Kemerite rule of Bambashathra ended around 4300 AS with the Coming of the Neptultchi who landed near Bryndyd and conquered the Kemerite giants.
