1775 AD
War rages in the New World as the American Revolution goes into full swing, bringing the Howard family to Sophara to start a new life. Acquiring a piece of land next to Hemming’s Inn, the Howards build the first general store in the town. Howard General Store becomes the trading spot for visitors and locals alike, spurring future development along Desten Boulevard and Cross Avenue.
The success of Hemming’s Inn allows the family to acquire new property and cultivate a vegetable farm, bringing the total number of farms operated by the family to three. Although the Bricksons head the Desten Council, the Hemmings fortune begins to exceed that of the other founding family of Desten, creating animosity and tension between them. It comes to blows between two of the younger members of the family one afternoon on Desten Boulevard, prompting a tense but ultimately successful town meeting to settle things down. Still, the seed of suspicion and mistrust is planted between the two families, with some fathers even going as far as to forbid marriage to a member of the other family.
