1770 AD
It has been fifteen years since the first permanent settlement on the island of Desten is founded by the Brickson and Hemming families. Visiting ships begin docking more frequently, and in response, Tim Hemming makes a deal with the Brickson family carpenters to construct a new inn that would house sailors for as long as they choose to stay. The Hemming’s Inn becomes the first business to open on the island, and sees moderate success thanks to eats kitchen – even when no ship is docked, a few locals pass by every night for some dinner.
Brolin Timms becomes the first person to settle in Desten not from the Brickson and Hemming families, coming in on a Danish ship and deciding to stay and call the island home after falling in love with a Brickson girl. Timms is a mason by trade, and starts finding work around the settlement constructing brick fireplaces in homes.
The residents of the settlement decide to name Jonathan Brickson as the leader of the Desten Council, a ten member council of elders given the task of handling the everyday affairs of the settlement. The Desten Council’s first petition is to form an official patrol unit comprised of five people that are made responsible for the safety and security of the settlement. Its second petition is for the naming of the settlement (previously only called the village of Desten) to Sophara, named after the two daughters of Howard Brickson, Sophia and Sara. The town of Sophara is also decreed as the capital of the nation of Desten in the third approved petition of the Desten Council.
