History

During the reign of Petar II Petrović-Njegoš a fortress served as a defense against Ottoman attacks and provided for undisturbed fishing and trade, Petar II himself often came here to rest.[1]

Lesendro was 11 years under the rule of the Prince-Bishopric of Montenegro, until 1843 when Osman Pasha occupied Lesendro, at the same time as Vranjina and the Ottoman Turks made their fortifications there. The island was liberated in 1878 along with the fortress town of Žabljak Crnojevića, which were annexed to the Principality of Montenegro.[2]

gollark: ```For instance, say I want a wooden chest: I've got several solutions: - Use an existing chest- Craft a chest from existing planks - Craft planks and then craft a chest Now, normally I'd say the first is the best. But what happens if I've only got 1 dark oak chests, and I've got 1000 oak planks. Surely it'd be better to create a chest from the planks in this case, as it results in a more balanced system.```Mentioned by the people on the CC discord I asked.

gollark: How to generate the list of crafting tasks and their order.
gollark: That bit is easy.
