Duchy of Urcastle

The Grand Duchy of Urcastle is currently apart of The Amberian-Urcastle commonwealth and is currently a vassal of The O.P.T.C. From the 6th of June 2022 until the 11th of June 2022 it was apart of the Amberian-Urcastle Union with The Kingdom of Amberia and was considered a breakaway state from The O.P.T.C. during this time.

Early History
Urcastle was founded as a town within The O.P.T.C. Harklady area which was founded by RHK249 and PenguinRH. During the Uldarash Civil War in November 2021 Urcastle would go on to supply an accomplished set of armour, weapons and potions for Loyalist Uldarash.

Post Uldarash civil war Urcastle would become an important war production centre and cactus farm for the O.P.T.C. and would become a minor trading hub for other Plagos nations.

During the Amberian-O.P.T.C revolt(march 2022-June 2022) Urcastle would become Amberia's biggest supplier of war equipment, building materials and food causing Urcastle to massively profit from the revolt

The Amberian-Urcastle Union
Following on from The Amberian guarantee of the 20/05/2022 Urcastle independence treaty. RHK249 and PenguinRH signed the Urcastle-Amberian Unification Treaty on The 6th of June 2022 which unified both Urcastle and The Kingdom of Amberia into a united political regime headed by Parrortcraft123, Kaiscerkiller and RHK249 known as the Amberian-Urcastle Union.

On the 6th of June 2022 Urcastle was granted the title of duchy and renamed into The Grand Duchy of Urcastle by The Kingdom of Amberia.

On the 11th of June 2022, the Treaty of Amberia which was signed before the union was formed and without the Urcastle's knowledge ended the 26/03/2022 until the 03/06/2022 Amberian-O.P.T.C. revolt and officially integrated The Kingdom of Amberia back into The O.P.T.C. This treaty lead to the collapse of the Amberian-Urcastle Union and substantially voided the Urcastle-Amberian unification treaty.

Annexation of Overloed
On the 19th of June 2022 The Duchy of Urcastle was granted official ownership and recognition over The O.P.T.C. coastal town of Overvloed which was granted to them by The Kingdom of Amberia during the Amberian-Urcastle Union. As a result of this ownership The Duchy of Urcastle merged The town of Overvloed with its capital Urcastle renaming Overloed to Port Borough Urlia.

Ending of The Urcastle Dual Monachy
In July 2022 RHK249 took over as sole ruler of both The town of Urcastle and The Duchy of Urcastle officially ending The Dual monarchy within Urcastle.

In July 2022 RHK249 completed the construction of walls along The Duchies lands, constructed new housing and flats and saw The Duchies capital church be appointed The head church for Barryism in Plagos. He also vastly improved relations with montroig, The O.P.T.C. and Amberia signing Non Agression Pacts(NAP's) and defence treaties with the latter along with making The Duchy one of the most influential lands within The Church of Barry The Blue Sheep.

The Amberian-Urcastle commonwealth
In August 2022 RHK249 was appointed king of Amberia and substantially re-formed The Amberian-Urcastle commonwealth.

The Celastris revolt
In August 2022 The Grand Duchy of Urcastle was one of the leading powers which revolted against The O.P.T.C. after O.P.T.C. leader Siam Man refused to leave Alamayn and make The O.P.T.C. independent. The Kingdom of Amberia and The town of Freaktown would go onto join the revolt for various other reasons and the revolt would be settled after Urcastle's leader RHK249 negotiated with The O.P.T.C. leading to a quick peaceful settlement with The O.P.T.C.-Celastris treaty which was signed on the 11th of August 2022. It was during this revolt that The Grand Duchy of Urcastle gained the town of NieuwLyonesse and control of The Niden-Plagos strait.

Gaining Freaktown
On the 18/08/2022 The Grand Duchy of Urcastle agreed with The O.P.T.C. Town of Freaktown's owner Jumpercali that Freaktown would offically join The Grand Duchy of Urcastle and The Amberian-Urcastle Commonwealth as a whole.

Defacto Commonwealth control
Throughout August 2022 after The O.P.T.C. government collapsed almost entirely due to internal revolts The Commonwealth would be seen internationally as The defacto O.P.T.C. government after gaining control over the majority of O.P.T.C. lands. The Duchy of Urcastle would also become The defacto government of The Commonwealth due to low Duchy of Amberia governance,

During this time Commonwealth and Urcastle leader RHK249 would undergo unsuccessful diplomatic negotiations with The O.P.T.C. rebels. Sometime after the negotiations took place The rebels would threaten The Commonwealth and rebel leader Banetysto would go onto state "the Commonwealth very mean of existence will be gone" and "I gonna blob the Commonwealth when I gonna assume charge of the O.P.T.C." among other threats. These constant threats would result in Commonwealth and Urcastle leader RHK249 declaring war against The rebels on the 30/08/2022. After declaring war The rebels quickly surrendered resulting in NiuewLyonesse being integrated into the town of Urcastle.

From the 2nd-4th of September 2022 Urcastle leader RHK249 would lead a split heated parliament debate with Fearg and Amberia in The Commonwealth parliament which resulted in a Duchy of Urcastle victory resulting in The O.P.T.C. province of Fearg officially joinning The Commonwealth as an intergovernmental government province. This was despite Amberia disagreement about Fearg becoming an intergovernmental government province due to Amberian wishes to annex the province directly. This victory would further soldify The Duchy of Urcastle as the defacto leaders of The Commonwealth.
