Castlestad Arc

The Castlestad Arc is the second major arc to take place in the Freewood Universe, following the Early Simply Vanilla Arc. It began on August 10, 2020 and ended on September 30, 2020.
The arc follows the founding of Old Castlestad. And Parlade's brief hosting of the Whiskey Cult, as well as the signing of the Treaty of Castlestad. Beginning a long friendship and alliance between Jester and Bumber. Through this, Jester was able to visit Aukratein, Parlade's capital, and help with certain community projects throughout the town.
== History ==
The Rio Julio and the canyon around it were settled in Late-July 2020 by Jester, who quickly founded the unofficial "Hermit Kingdom" as it was called. It consisted of a small, cobblestone house on the nearby mountain, a farm next to it dug into the mountain -- including one down the mountain -- and a mine that was connected to several intricate cave systems.
There were several instances of Jester losing his items, including a notable instance when he first created his Nether portal in the back room of the house. Whilst wandering around the Crimson Forests, he failed to notice a ledge that contained a lava pool to which he fell into. After this point, Jester had considered giving up.
But not to be deterred, he continued to build up his small settlement. Even visiting Playertown and building an embassy there for his land, which he began to call a country. On August 10, 2020, Jester officially renamed the Hermit Kingdom to Castlestad. Named for the castle that he lived in, and the suffix -stad, often seen in many Anglo-Saxon and Germanic place names as -sted.
