Originally a [[Salovia|Salovian]] territory, it was forcibly annexed by the [[Codexian Empire]] during the [[Salovia#Era of Unrest and the Posolic Wars|Era of Unrest]]. After a couple of decades of Codexian rule, Oscrelians rose up in the [[Oscrelian War of Independence]], successfully breaking away from the Codexians and establishing a kingdom.

He established the [[Thorntonist Oscrelia|Oscrelian State]], which lasted until the end of the [[Auroran Imperial War]].
