Ellesborg, officially the Crown Mandate of Ellesborg, is a city and a Cryrian held mandate within the Union of Free Cities in Arcturia. It borders the Arkain mandate of Sehlhaf to the east, the Sokalan mandate of Kokrisugrad to the west, and the Acronian mandate of Ilaris to the north. A port town built on the Elles River, the territory has become a resort city and a tax haven, known for its many casinos and loose regulations.

History

The territory that would become Ellesborg has been settled by humans since roughly 200 BC, however it would not see the establishment of any significant settlements until the start of Cryrian influence in the area.

The Cryrian government historically had little inclination to involve itself in the distant continent of Arcturia, however, Cryrian business interests would take a growing interest in the area starting in the 19th century. This can be traced back to when the Royal Cryrian Railway Company was hired by local authorities to develop a modern transport network in the area, likely in no small part due to the fact that Cryria's distance meant that the Kingdom was unlikely to attempt to exert any undue influence beyond its contract.
