The new village was built on a plain along the swollen Alanary River, an important River Road for transporting goods and people to other regions. Trade between the two cities was intense, the bridge linking the two banks of the River would be congested at certain times, which forced the Regent to build a secondary bridge. Traffic was redirected and every bridge to one of the senses.

In the winter of the same year, a storm hit the region, there were reports of several lightning falls, trees were uprooted by the force of the wind, the bridges that linked together Liebe and Strom were forbidden, Strom was isolated from the rest of the Kingdom. The fall of lightning sparked a number of fires in the vicinity of the Shire, a forest region. By the force of the wind, the fire spread to the northern and eastern areas of the city, residential areas. The locals struggled to extinguish the flames that have already reached the houses and trade, but the intensity of the fire did not cooperate. After almost 10 hours the combat fire was extinguished, but 40% of the buildings in the area were destroyed.
