During the Akvarelian War of Independce the city was destroyed by the Baltanian Imperial Army but was rebuild after the end of said war. After the war it was made the capital city of Akvarelusus.

Etyhmology
The native name: Rekatect literally means Where the river flows and refers to the Matio river being a prominent landmark of the city. The name Ivory Tower was formed as a result of the first foreign visitors visiting the city. As these foreigners could not speak Akvarelian Slavic, they did not learn the native name. Instead they exported the name Ivory Tower, which was given to the city because of its Ivory Tower Cathedral. The cathedral has its tower made out of limestone though because of the whiteness it looks like it is made out of ivory.
