History

The early period

The city of Deenaairart (ancient name of the city) was founded in 1343 by dutch merchants in search of new trading opportunities in the black sea. The city prospered, till the rise of the Gertian empire, that blocked the access of the city traders to the silk road. That started the decline of the city, that culminated in the conquest of the city by the Gertian empire in 1464, that made the city part of the empire and forced the city to destroy the fortifications.

The mid period

Under imperial occupation the city prospered, trough ingent investements by the cpital, transforming it in the trading hub of the empire, however the unrest remained and big armed forces were needed to suppress the separatist rebels. The tensions grew, until the great revolt of the 1502, that liberated the city and the surroundings. To protect itself from the empire, the city allied its neighbours that will become the Federation of the Free Cities, in 1687. During the first half of the sixteenth century, the city had a massive hungarian immigration, because of the constant Gertian raids in the hungarian countryside. The city accepted the flux of immigrants, changing the demographics of the city forever. The city was renamed Deneira, and the bonds from the allied cities grew stronger and stronger. The century didn't seen huge military conflicts, so is reputated for the historian as the great century of peace, which saw the city prosper, as the city started the trade with the slav empires of the north. During the 1600 the city was hit in a serie of disasters, that almost destroyed the city. In the year 1627 a massive conflagration from the trees in the mountains burnt the 75% of the city, killng a quarter of the population, and leaving half homeless. Then the plague reached the city in 1673, leaving the city in a terrible condition. In 1687, the city formed the Federation of the Free Cities with its allies. The leader of the federation was the city of Deneira.
