Aron (Loire)
The Aron is a 105-kilometre (65 mi) long river in central France. It is a right tributary of the Loire, which it meets in Decize. It flows through the département Nièvre.
Course
The source of the Aron is in the commune Crux-la-Ville, about 35 kilometres (22 mi) north-east of Nevers. It flows in a southerly direction, through the towns Châtillon-en-Bazois and Cercy-la-Tour, and empties into the Loire in the city of Decize. Much of its length, from Châtillon-en-Bazois to Decize, the river flows parallel to the Canal du Nivernais.
Among its tributaries is the Alène.

Loire (department)
Loire (French pronunciation: [lwaʁ]; Arpitan: Lêre; Occitan: Léger) is a department in the east-central part of France occupying the River Loire's upper reaches.
History
Loire was created in 1793 when after just 3½ years the young Rhône-et-Loire department was split into two. This was a response to counter-Revolutionary activities in Lyon which, by population, was the country's second largest city. By splitting Rhône-et-Loire the government sought to protect the French Revolution from the potential power and influence of counter revolutionary activity in the Lyon region.
The departmental capitals have been / are as follows:
Geography

Ateliers et Chantiers de la Loire
Ateliers et Chantiers de la Loire (ACL) was a French shipbuilding company of the late 19th and early 20th century. The name translates roughly to English as "Workshops and Shipyard of the Loire".
ACL was formed in 1881 in Nantes by Jollet Babin to take advantage of the expansion of the French Navy.
The River Loire was already a major site for shipbuilding, with Dubigeon at Nantes and Chantiers de Penhoët at Saint-Nazaire. In 1881 Babin set up his shipyard at Prairie du Lac, near the Dubigeon yard, and the following year, in 1882, a second yard at St Nazaire adjacent to the C. Penhoët yard. From the outset ACL focused on building warships for the French Navy, laying down capital ships at the St Nazaire site, closer to deep water, and medium–sized and small ships (cruisers, torpedo boats and, later, destroyers) at Nantes.
In 1901 ACL took over Normandy-Laporte at Rouen and built a factory for marine boilers and marine steam engines at Saint-Denis near Paris.

Aron (comics)
Aron the Rogue Watcher is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The character is depicted as an extraterrestrial supervillain of the race known as the Watchers, in the fictional Marvel Universe.
Fictional character biography
Aron originally dwelt upon the Watchers' homeworld with the other members of his race. He observed Captain Mar-Vell and Rick Jones battling Mad-Eye, and then attended the trial of Uatu. Aron was seen alongside Uatu again later.
Aron decided to forsake the Watchers' oath and actively participate in events on Earth, becoming an instigator and manipulator. He set Dragon Man against She-Hulk and She-Thing, and obtained cell samples from the Thing and She-Thing. Aron observed the Fantastic Four battling Graviton, and witnessed the events of Inferno. Aron was in turn observed by Necrodamus. Aron then joined forces with the Frightful Four against the Fantastic Four, but soon quit the Frightful Four. Aron created clones of the Fantastic Four and She-Thing, and imprisoned the real Fantastic Four and Frightful Four members in suspended animation, and watched their dreams. He replaced the real Fantastic Four with his clones, and set them against the Mole Man. Aron continued to engineer "adventures" for his clones, causing them to appear as criminals. The clones battled the Avengers and Doctor Strange, and were ultimately defeated by the real Fantastic Four after the originals broke free. Aron settled for watching the dreams of the clones instead.
