History
Ethnic Vrancians were the first to settle along the Southern coast of the [Sozian island]. They were mainly fishers and peasants. Various of settlements were built along the coastline, and due to the vast amount of natural resources like fish and Mediterranean wood, the settlements grew exponentially. For centuries it was the centre of Vrancian power, until it was sacked in 465 AD. The city's wall was used for building and the city lost its strength during the Sozian dark ages during which it was invaded and sacked on numerous of occasions. It did gain strength as the largest fishing city later on, but lost its sphere of influence over the Vrancian countryside during the L’ìghübirghum wars of succession. Under the command of L’ìghübirghum leaders, the city lost most of its privileges. Only in the late 20th century the city could grew again, due to the increasing interest of tourists in luxury beach resorts, nowadays, Porti Viagnèt is the second largest fishing centre in the nation, it has the second largest yacht harbour in the nation and a booming tourist industry.
