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. | ||

*The city of Stalburg | *The city of Stalburg begins to grow fast, becoming a wealthy and important harbour and trading city in the Baltic region. Many new sea forts were built to protect the important port. | ||

* | *The city’s status as an important port and iron mine allowed the city to industrialize fast, boosting the city’s growth and economy even more. Many factories were constructed in districts around city limits and coast, such as the ‘Foundry’. Railroads were also constructed. On the flip side of the coin, the fast industrialization caused many people seeking jobs to migrate into the city faster than new apartments and tenements could be built, causing the formation of slums around the city. During that time the city also suffered some sanitation, pollution and health issues. | ||
