Grassland City

Grassland City (formerly known as Bredelven) is the capital city of Grassland. It is situated on the east coast of the country, on a small bay at the mouth of the Bredelven River. It is in the county of Inner Bredelven. It is bordered on the south by minor hills. Its population is 1,290,000. It was founded in 1090, but it is unknown whom by. Many believe it was founded by people from the town of Geird (now Besten) in the north. The most plausible theory is that the Norse founded it, and it became a major trading port and the main city in the Norse territories in Grassland. After the Norse left the area, the city almost dissapeared and the Kingdom of Geird took it over. In 1172, people from the town declared independence as the Kingdom of Bredelven. Friedrich Beren was crowned King, becoming Friedrich I. The Kingdom hired mercenaries to pillage other kingdoms around them, and conquer them. In 1474, Bredelven conquered the whole island of Grassland. It was renamed the Kingdom of Grassland. The town, which was around the 8th largest town in Grassland, quickly grew to first. In 1863, many worker's strikes broke out throughout the city, and eventually, the workers started a revolution against the monarchy. It ultimately failed, but after the war, Bredelven City was in ruins. Around 1870, British maps started showing its name as "Grassland City". There is a rumor that it was started by a person who did not speak English well and called it by that name, but this is likely incorrect. English is the only language calling it this. In 1888, Grassland declared war on Sweden-Norway. Between 1888 and 1893, the city was often bombarded by Swedish-Norwegian ships.
