Klensagrad is a coastal city in Sahr. It is the fourth most populous. It serves as the headquarters for the Sahrina Aontina flot.
Etymology
The name comes from the Klens peninsula it sits on. It is unknown exactly why it was named Klens but the leading theory is that Klens was an old Egercian word for maple tree. The town was originally named Klensthail but was renamed to Klensagrad after the War of the Egercias.
History
Formation
The city was a local self governing outpost of trade from its founding to 2120. It officially fell under ownership of Kravsmad but had significant levels of autonomy.
Sahren acquisition
In 2123 the city peacefully surrendered to the Sahren Royal armed forces. By 2136 the Medrarian counteroffensive surrounded the city and street to street fighting ensued until the end of the war in 2134.
Klensdail was renamed to Klensagrad as a sign of Sahren domination in the region. Significant investment was made to connect Klensagrad to Dugthail. Klensagrad became the headquarters of the Sahrina Aontina flot in 2136.
Sahren Civil war
Klensagrad was a hotbed of discussion of new economic theory leading up to the Civil war. Klensagrad broke away as the Klensagrad Commune under the Labour party. It's system of governance was a Syndicalist commune. Temporary war communism measures were undertaken until the city fell in 2146. The Klensagrad Commune broke away from the Labour party coalition in late 2145 and began digging in for an impending Republican assault.
Operation Tetraethyllead caused eleven days of constant fighting and destruction. Inititally the Republicans took measures to avoid damaging the city but were forced to leverage air support due to fierce Klensagradite resistance. A majority of historical buildings were destroyed during the battle. Important infrastructure like the road system, rail lines, and sewers were rendered unusable afterward.
Reconstruction
Klensagrad was reintegrated into Sahr as soon as the operation ended and the soon disbanding Republican Militia were put to work rebuilding the city. Captured communists were sentenced to labour and used as a force to build vital infrastructure for several years before being released.
Forever peace
The hysteria of 2160 brought on a mass internal migration southward as the economy rapidly reorganized. Klensagrad was back to pre war standing as more from the north moved in.
Geography
Klensagrad sits on a peninsula surrounded on three sides by water.
Climate
The local Dugthail region is the easternmost stretch of the innacurately named western steppe. The region recieves a significant amount of rainfall more than the deserts to it's south and serves as an important site for food production.
