City: Oldlight

The Capital of Osthurst, Oldlight, was once nothing more than a lighthouse sitting on a rock next to a river outlet to the ocean in the southern most fifth of the Kingdom Of Ocililla. Over the years a thorpe grew, and from that thorpe grew a town, and a town to a city, until it became the booming city it is today.

The Lighthouse was first run by the Correia family, on the behalf of the Almheim merchant family, The Correia family were well-payed for their duty. As the Correia sons and daughters grew older they ventured forth to other towns and cities finding their partners and bringing them back to the "Old Light", requiring new houses and other facilities to be built. After a 3 generations the settlement grew large enough that other people started taking notice of the growing settlement, now called Oldlight, and setting down their roots. Although the Almheim family had cut them off at this point the Correia family had long since became rather infamous as a Merchant family themselves. The population exploded over the next couple of decades and in a century-and-a-half was a fully developed city with further towns forming up-river and and other cities up and down the coast.

By the time of their second century in-power the Correia family, owning much of the land and a lot of investments in the City of Oldlight emancipated themselves, with the support and back-up of other cities in the area, from the Kingdom Of Ocililla. This resulted in a 7-year civil war between Osthurst and Ocililla, Osthurst managing to hold their own against the Ocilillian threat for this time and forcing them back to their own lands.

Oldlight being the largest of the cities became the capital of this new Kingdom, and the Correia family became it's Monarchs.
