## History

The land that is now modern day Castello hosted four separate, unaffiliated sectors. Hoogkliff, Bushberry, and Thunk.

### Bushberry

Bushberry was a town which shared the land and resources with the fellow dog populations who also lived there. It was founded by a S1rGerald in 8D and was constantly at war with the native wolf population. Things got even worse when barbarians had ventured and set up camp next to Bushberry and had burnt down the once luscious forest of the mountain out of spite.

This led an alliance between wolf and man as they set out to kill the barbarians. And they were successful in 10D. The leader of the now wolf kingdom Daniel Bushberry decided the peace between them should not be temporary but everlasting and the Red Tulip agreement was signed where man and wolf would live in one nation. Daniel lived a lavish lifestyle and was not interested in politics and let S1rGerald handle everything. Daniel was immensely popular with dogs and humans alike and held great influence in governing. This ushered in an age of prosperity in Bushberry with the finished construction of bushberry castle.

Things were going well until the Dog King Daniel was poisoned by an anti-dog terrorist gang. Daniel reportedly asked the local doctor to kill him due to the amount of pain he suffered. S1rGerald believed that the news about the murder of Daniel would plunge the nation into civil war. To prevent this, he addressed the public, saying that Daniel I died due to liver complications and that Charlie Bushberry, the young brother of Daniel, was to be anointed as the new monarch.

Charlie was a very modest monarch and rarely had any interest in governing. The Bushberry family, a rich aristocratic dog family at this point, was in extreme debt after the lavish lifestyle and bad investments of Daniel. S1rGerald offered Charlie to forgive the debt of the Bushberry family in exchange for absolute power over Bushberry.

S1rGerald saw an opportunity and gave a contract for Charlie to sign. The contract would forgive all debt of Bushberry and give S1rGerald absolute power over Bushberry. After being pressured by his mother, Charlie signed the agreement, known as "Dimmete Carta". This transformed the Dog King into a figurehead while S1rGerald received the de facto control over Bushberry.

### Thunk

Thunk was a small industrial area where cacti and potatoes where farmed and then sent to Thuh, the original capital of the Rockcracy. While this benefitted the citizens of Thuh, the people of Thunk became restless and riots ensued. During these riots, King Tunkalunka abdicated the cave to pursue the art of axolotl painting. After Alpha\_Drej anointed himself monarch, he noticed the fort of Bushberry not far from Thunk and persuaded the leader to become part of the Cavemeugn nation. He subsequently used the fort to garrison troops and oppose any resistance from Thuh.

While Alpha\_Drej successfully took down the riot in 20D, this conflicted left over half the population of Thuh dead or heavily injured while large part of the Thunk's crop farms were destroyed. This caused panic in Thuh, as Thunk was Cavemeugn's primary provider of food. Nevertheless, Alpha\_Drej addressed the nation in confidence and decided to build new farms at Bushberry. As many civilian houses were bulldozed during this process, many people from Bushberry migrated down the mountain to Hoogkliff.

### Hookkliff

Hoogkliff castle, owned by Pokkolol, is at the centre of the Hoogkliff district. It used to be only a small castle but, due to immigration from Bushberry and other villages, slowly became a town. It was a peaceful area to live with wheat farms to feed everyone and was quite friendly with Bushberry as they traded alcohol, metals and stone, strengthening the ties between the towns.

Thunk was still rebuilding after the devastating riots and it was determined unsafe to visit as the remaining inhabitants were often violent against outsiders. Alpha\_Drej visited Thunk and delivered a speech about the negative consequences of the rebellion. He treatened Thunk's inhabitants, citing that it would be easy to abandon the town, leaving all remaining inhabitants to starve after their agricultural infrastructure was destroyed. These threats proved successful, as no further rebellions arose. In the following years, Thunk underwent rapid industrialisation, building the Cactus Palace and the accompanying Thunk Factory which produces enormous amounts of cacti to smelt.
