It was the dissenting words of Breganaz that sent 9 noble families from Jorgrith in exile. Among these, was the Jarl of Ironoak Hold. His court, and those loyal to him, fled to the northern shores of Jorgrith, boarded their longboats, and took to the open seas. Many small islands had been discovered by Emperor Gaius' scouts during those times, and the Jarl had set sail for one such isle. Upon landfall, he dubbed the small island "Ironshore Isle," and within a season's time, had created the new hold of "Woodhurst." Many moons past, and the community of exiles thrived in their new home. The Jarl, upon his deathbed, passed the duty of ruling Woodhurst to his son. He left the new Jarl within the hands of wisdom and knowledge in the form of his Steward and Godord. A prosperous, but isolated future awaited.
However as the winter season faded from the land, strangers begun to wash upon the shores of Iron. Some were settlers. Looking for freedom away from the Empire. Others were Imperials themselves. Carrying word that war had broken out upon the mainland, that Emperor Gaius had been assassinated, and that Dogriss and Galonia had routed the Acelian Army to the western shores. Woodhurst seemed a welcome haven to many, despite the populace following the rites and ways of the old Jorgrithian faith. It was clear, that the teachings of Terrun were not welcome within the hold. For now, the refugees are more than happy to cast aside faith for shelter, food, and protection. However, time will only tell if such a relationship can continue without incident.

Then you can go build a castle, as long as it's a good distance away from an already established area in game. Want to found your own kingdom? Sure! Want to make a secluded mountain top monastery to Terrun? Go right ahead! Want to settle in the already established Hold of Woodhurst? You're more than welcome to!
