Porta Fiume

Kronborg, Previously known as Porta Fiume and later Kvitebyr is the capital of The Sublime Kingdom of Trollgard, seat of the government It is home to the Konung, the Royal Family, and nobility. this trollkin bastion lies on the coast of the Phagosian Sea on Western Vastallos. The current Jarl of the city is Prince Jay Skrælung af Kronborg

Early History
Archaeological Studies have uncovered shipwrecks and ruins on the coast of Porta Fiume as well as abandoned mines in the extensive cave systems under Porta Fiume, suggesting the area has been occupied since early history. During the settling of the land by the Neos Knossos peoples a small farming and fishing community began forming upriver of the natural inlet. The residents of this hamlet, ethnically Knossian, named it Illyrix and served the Kings of Neos Knossos during the Towny and Imperial Formation Periods. Baekry Ishmael Mezaria was born in this small town during this period.

The hamlet of Illyrix was included in the North Coast Purchase but quickly fell into disrepair due to mismanagement by the remaining Knossian Government under RealZ.

Modern History
During the Factions Period, efforts were made by Carvay to reinvigorate the countryside and develop the frontier. Contact was made between the Chief Diplomat Essendor and a local dark forest tribe of natives who agreed to settle the land in the name of Carvay in exchange for support from the Doge. The leader of this new settlement adopted the name Lost Coastlines in honour of the land they now lived on, and the title Rione to show allegiance to Carvay. The first building constructed was an Ebreian Temple followed by the imposing granite walls.

Government
The government of Kronborg is unique within the Vastallosi politicial landscape due to its use of a city council which is rooted in the tribal origins of its settlers, although not much more evidence of this remains. The leadership is composed of a Jarl and a Council who jointly make decisions regarding local affairs. The Konung recognises the Jarl as the de jure leader, however, the Jarl and councillors de facto rule jointly.

Kronborg has no military but are home to Hraunhirden who serve as garrisons, impromptu soldiery, road patrols, watchmen and most importantly guards to Savii and councillors. Historically speaking, Porta Fiume has always been naturally well-defended by virtue of its location in a natural inlet. Nevertheless, the great wall that was financed by the city's founder, LostCoastlines, has deterred any attack even by the once-common pirates of the straits between the Phagosian and Caprichosa Seas.

Culture
Fiumans remain isolated due to their location on the Vastallosi continent as well as their relative youth. Not much is known about the city's cultural practices apart from the fact it is a mix between west-vastallosi native tradition and Carvaian practices. An exchange in vernacular has been observed, although this is very one-sided in favour of Carvay.

Religion
Fiumans are predominantly adherents of the Ebrei faith which keeps religious practices strictly within its own membership. The temple in the city is barred to outsiders and has been used for ecclesiastical meetings by the Ebrei High Priests.

Cuisine
The fertile soil of the surrounding lands has provided large harvests of root vegetables such as potatoes and carrots. These, along with the milk of Verian dairy farms, are often used in stews. The birch forests have also spawned a strong beekeeping industry and honey is considered a delicacy to be consumed with milk products and forest berries.

The First Temple
The first temple is an Ebreist temple constructed upon the acropolis in Porta Fiume. Named the first temple due to being the first building constructed in the city as well as the first known Ebreist temple constructed in Vastallos. Constructed in typical Fiuman style, the temple is restricted to those of the Ebreist faith.

Hall of reason
Located in central Porta Fiume, the council building is used as a meeting place for any council meetings as well as a place for any fiuman citizen to present their beliefs or concerns to anyone who will listen.
