Timeline of Events

BC Era

1200s

1266

• The City of Stalburg is founded as an iron mining settlement in the area currently known as "Old town". A small castle is built to protect the new founded settlement.

1400s

• The original settlement suffered great damage during the Stalburg Fire. After the incident, the city was decided to be relocated to the current site of the city center at a bay 5km east of the original location, due to the obscure location for its port and rough, cliffed terrain. The old castle was abandoned and a new fort was built to cover the location of the new Stalburg.

Trivia

• Obenseuer is spelled "Obenseur" in a Stalburg Times Newspaper articles and by Stalburg News presenter (subtitles only) in the third ending. This is likely a mistake.
• Several newspapers reference real-world events that occurred on the same date.
