Sortavala (Rus. Сортавала / Сердоболь) is a Russian town located in Ladoga Karelia along the Northern Shore of Lake Ladoga and both banks of the Sorty River. It is the largest settlement in the Karelian region by land and population and is the oldest founded 4/May/24 by doytnr not too far from the town of Kakisalmi, which was the first Russo-Karelian town founded days prior but has since fell.
Sortavala (Rus. Сортавала / Сердоболь, Fin. Sortavala, Swe. Sordavala) is a town located in the centre of the Russian Karelian province of 'Ladoga'. along Lake Ladoga and the River Yanisyoki (Fin. Jänisjoki). It is the largest settlement in Karelia by land and population and is the fourth oldest in the region after Petrozavodsk (Soviet Union), Viipuri (Finland) and Vyborg (Russia), and is the capital of Russia's Karelia Gubernate, one of three of Russia's Gubernates alongside Kola and Greater St. Petersburg.


The town is placed by the IRL location of Sortavala, and acts as a mid-point between the Baltic-Ladoga to deeper into Karelia.
== Infrastructure ==
Sortavala is defined by its spruce-stone embankments across her urban core, alongside her oxidized copper roofs which give the city a unique style. The origins of the style came from its cheapness, but was later cemented as the town's Urban style.


== Infustructure ==
Sortavala sits on a series of artificial and natural islands, surrounded by canals which seperate each of her urban regions from the rest of the Karelian Taiga.

Built by doytnr with assistance from YeetThins, the Sorty-Sosnovo road links Central Sortavala to the former Kakisalmi, now claimed by Sosnovo. Started and Completed 22/Aug/26 the road provides an easy way to access the city from the Capital by land which would otherwise require a journey through the dense Taiga.
