rich fishing pools around the eastern regions of the Dwavern Kingdom, Oasthold became the main fishing village in the entire country. The waters around it were teeming with rare fish, giant sea creatures and clams with rare gems.

The fishing market increased throughout Amsnorth, and the Dark-Elf Empire helped fund the growing village into a city. After 300 years, the city eventually became the main hub for fishing and trade throughout the kingdom. Eventually as time went on, the city expanded, and it became more than just a fishing village. A grand market was built in the centre of the city, where merchants from all over the world came to settle down and sell their supplies. It holds the largest market in Amsnorth, with thousands of traders travelling in and out of the city every day.
