Haven

Haven was the Island Capital of the Republic of Kygon and the Neo-Kygonese Empire, for 32 years, before it was destroyed by a drunken Friedrich. Haven was one of the oldest cities in the Kygon Expanse. Though it was off of Greater Kygon, it was never part of the city.
Haven and Inaria were the only two Kygonese cities to maintain law and order during the Kygonese Anarchy, with both polities forming their own Republics in the 210s. Haven eventually became the capital of a reunified Kygon in 241, sans Inaria, however it's reign as Imperial Capital was short lived.
On December 15th, 242, in the Battle of Haven, the Gretian Navy attempted to seize the city. A drunked Emperor Friedrich Kaiser overreacted and destroyed the city with hidden explosives and with arson, leading to the near total destruction of the city in the subsequent firestorm. The destruction of Haven was seen as one of the most self-destructive tactical maneuver in centuries, and marred the rest of Freidrich's reign, which would only a few years later.
In the aftermath of the war, Haven remained a burnt, shellshocked city. A few thousand of the cities inhabitants remained in parts of the city that were relatively intact, but the city became a wasteland attractive to criminals and smugglers. Hybretian soldiers began patrolling the city in 249 after increased criminal activity in the region.
In 258, Novac entered the Inarian War in exchange for rights to trade and build up the city.Category:Cities
