History
Svendsborg was founded in the year 988, after Danish explorers set up a temporary camp. Soon, people would populate Svendsborg and the nearby Haraldstad. This would begin a rivalry between Haraldstad and Svendborg which would last for hundreds of years.

Svendsborg would find itself in the middle of the first conflict in Sturabackia. In 1074, Oluf I would march 50 of his men to Haraldstad. He outnumbered the Haraldstad militia who had only 20 men, which gave Oluf I reign over all of Sturabackia. This would lead to the city being in the centre of all of Sturabackia's politics.

In 1236, Petar I (Petar of Above) and Iarl Harald Haraldsson would fight on a hill outside of Svendsborg. They would fight for the throne. Ultimately, Petar I would win the battle.

During the years 1436-1471, Svendsborg would partake in national riots across the country. These riots were directed towards the Kalmar Union and their unpopular reign of Sturabackia. However, the riots would end brutally as 249 people were killed in Arómvis, the largest genocide in Sturabackia.

Many Danish Kings would visit the city. Christian IV of Denmark noted the country's beauty and mountainous landscape.

Today, the city holds 81,000 citizens. It is one of the richest areas in Sturabackia, and many love the beautiful mountains that lay far behind the city.
