==History==
===Foundation===
According to some (not very reliable) sources, Vengerberg had been founded by Prince Venger in the 8th or 9th century, and became the seat of power of Aedirnian monarchs, like the famous Baldwin of Aedirn.
===First Pogrom===
Sometime in the 13th century, a pogrom erupted in the city against nonhumans. Yennefer of Vengerberg was involved, and saved the lives of Molnar Giancardi and his family, for which they repaid her for many years with donations.
===Second Northern War===
After the Nilfgaardian occupation of Aldersberg during the Second Northern War in mid-July , Vengerberg had been besieged over a week's span and almost all of its inhabitants and garrison, roughly 6,000 citizens, were slaughtered by Nilfgaardians and Scoia'tael. Defeated regiments and civilians began to flee to Temeria and Redania, others heading along the Pontar Valley and the passes of Mahakam, though Nilfgaardian troops pursued, capturing many Aedirnians as slaves. Under Imperial occupation, on the orders of Chief Chamberlain Peter Evertsen, troops dismantled and removed the malt mills, distilleries, weaving mills, and dyeworks in the city.
