    It is important to have Kiev as a VW city because the "Rus" settled as traders in Kiev in the middle of the 9th century. The "Rus" had also bases at Aldeigjuborg (Staraya Ladoga) and Novgorod (Holmgard).

    I hope it is possible to change the VW city name of Holmgard to Novgorod or Novgorod (Holmgard). The Scandinavian history of Holmgard can be a part of a city called Novgorod or Novgorod (Holmgard). I hope also it is possible to create a VW city called Aldeigjuborg or Aldeigjuborg (Staraya Ladoga). Aldeigjuborg, called Staraya Ladoga by the Slavs, was very important for the viking trade route between Scandinavia and the Byzantine Empire and the Arab regions

    Hopefully, a city called Jomsborg can be created dealing with the Jomsvikings. The Jomsborg was a viking castle on Wollin at the outlet of the Oder. The garrison was called the Jomsvikings, and they formed a class of warriors.
