Shtonya

Shtonya (Istosloveny; Штоня, Juzhosloveny: Штонја, Shtonar: Štonimaa) is a small city in the Istoslovenski Sarovat of the Satemid Empire that was traditionally populated by a sedentary indigene tribe known as the Shtonars. Today its population has been largely Slovenified.
=== History ===
With the arrival of the Baltos in the region, who built three cities in the vicinity of modern-day Shtonya (Prusa, Lietvona, and Luttpils), the Shtonar indigenes established trading relations with the new arrivals, trading furs and Paki scalps for grains and cereals, such as Corn Flakes or Trix. Over time, the trading grounds were permanently settled and modelled on the Balto cities, albeit poorly. The original name of the city in the Shtonar language was Štonimaa, which was later Slovenified into Shtonya (Штоня).
==== Conquest of the Baltos ====
During the conquest of the Baltos, Shtonya was annexed by the Istosloveny, who incorporated the whole territory into Istoslovensky Sarovat. Much of the population, which was already somewhat mixed with other Balto tribes, was conscripted to join the Satemid army or transferred to other settlements, with ethnic Istosloveny settlers moved in to occupy the now empty homes, a part of the historical Satemid Population Transfers.
Those remaining Shtonars interbred with the Istosloveny and have mostly assimilated, with the language nearly extinct if not already, traces of which only survive in select toponyms and anthroponyms.
=== Behind the Scenes ===
Shtonya is mostly based on Tallinn, as the Shtonars are themselves based on the Estonians. However, due to being indigenes, the city is poorly built, with little to no masonry, instead using lumber and dirt.
