Stolgard

The city of Stolgard dominated the inlet on its northern banks, built centuries ago by the Fhrunlai when they invaded the region, to control trade in and out of the region.
Stolgard is an old city, though much of it was burned during the war when the Norskjarg joined hands with the Korval League and subsequently rebuild creating a clear divide in its architecture of the old longhouses along the coast, and the rebuilt city made by southern architects, of square buildings of brick and stone, carved flourishes and illustrious windows.
