History

Earlier Occupation

The City of Sos-Kablyat

The site in which Kantbyen is located has been occupied at least since April of 2019, and was known to have been owned by ancient Svalbard in the city of Icemoor. After Icemoor was abandoned, the city of Sos-Kablyat was founded by some of Fuze's fans. The town was abandoned shortly before Svalbard was refounded, and left unoccupied for 2 months.

Svalbard's Expansion and the Town of Edge

Shortly after Svalbard was founded, it entered a period of rapid growth in which the population and number of towns grew drastically. Along with Barentsburg and another relatively unknown town, a city known as Edge was planned to be founded in Edgeoya. Responding to this news, a former slum dweller named Santacruiser left his home in Fort Worth to found the city as Kantbyen, eventually succeeded.

Early Development

Kantbyen faced issues with the poor administration of Sos-Kablyat and the rough terrain of Negerpynten. The town struggled to expand, and took months to bring in its first resident. Regardless, the town was forced to demolish and rebuild the old town hall. 3 houses were later built, while the town expanded its roads and completely absorbed all territory owned by Sos-Kablyat. This was assisted by a large influx of gold discovered in an old Kazakhstani city, leading to the city briefly becoming wealthy.

The Nordaustlandet Dispute

When the nation of Nordaustlandet was proclaimed April 7, 2020, the city joined it the same day. Kantbyen is one of the most influential cities in Nordaustlandet, and is currently increasing in population.
