Cambrose - a picturesque harbor town on the Southeast coast of Whitesea. The town boasts colorful market streets, large hotels featuring stunning views of the sea, and a rich history from a past that seems not so far away among the old buildings.

A history of Whitesea…
In the 5th Century, when the Saxons controlled what is now the Whiteburgian mainland, the Isle of Whitesea, aptly named for the reflections of the white chalk cliffs on the water, remained under the control of Kalmarian Vikings. It wasn't until 838 when the Saxons defeated the Vikings, did Whitesea lose its Kalmarian populace. Although there was no political struggle between Whitesea or Wessex, a cultural difference was evident. When the Normans invaded Whiteburg in 1066, they used Whitesea as a foothold in the invasion of the rest of the continent. The two states were drawn together under Norman rule. As the centuries went on, the cultural divide softened, and in 1536, King Henry VIII enacted the Act of Union. This officially merged Whitesea as a province in the Kingdom of Whiteburg. That being said, Whitesea was given some cultural autonomy, particularly with national symbols, such as flags and crests. In the 1700s, Whitesea experienced a significant incline in economic power. The port town of Cambrose became a large maritime hub for the Whiteburgian Empire, due to its proximity to Europa. More and more goods flowed through the island, thus, more merchants and businesses flocked to Whitesea.
In 1743, after the growth of the Whitesea maritime trade industry, the Ensign Act was passed in Whiteburgian Parliament, allowing St. George’s Cross to be flown on all Whitesea naval vessels. Additionally, the growth of Whiteburg's economic dominance in the 17th and 18th centuries fostered the creation of a large military presence. During the 7 Year's War in the late 1750s, the Whiteburgian Army was moved onto the Isle of Whitesea, for tactical positioning against Francia. The 18th and 19th century saw the development of army bases such as Fort Highbury, and numerous defensive fortifications around the island. The Whiteburgian Royal Airforce is also headquartered in Whitesea. In 1739, after growing calls for increased political representation, a referendum was held in Parliament. A narrow majority paved the way for the Government of Whitesea Act. Thus, the Whitesea Assembly was created, giving the Isle of Whitesea great domestic power. In 1741, the Chamber of Whitesea building was constructed along Market Street in Cambrose, housing the Assembly.

Inspired by the colorful towns in England’s southwest, Cambrose reflects the unique history of some of Britain’s oldest towns. Cambrose itself is primarily based off the Cornish town of Penzance, along with several other towns around the coast.
