Tallinn in War World
In the 21st century, Tallinn remained a city full of medieval architecture. Anton Päts lived in Tallinn, often drinking in the tavern and telling tall tales, before being convicted of subversion and deported to the planet Haven. Päts and other Estonian exiles named their settlement Tallinn Town in the Tallinn Valley, in memory of their lost homeland.
