Historia
Westerloch originated when the Vrem house, the lords at the time over Vremheindel which was at the time not part of Dagnia, thought the lake to be suitable as their place of governance, with the lake Westerloch being exceptionally beautiful at the time.

For this reason, it is reasonable to say that the ultimate reason for Westerloch's existence, is a cosmetic one. None the less, the people flocked around their leaders, the Vrem, and it has grown into what it is today.

When Vremheindel were conquered in a bloody battle against Dagnia, it became a county of the Dagnian Empire, though Dagnee saw fit at the time, like much she did with many of the other soon to be provinces of Dagnia, to leave the local leaders in charge. As such, the house Vrem to this very day are the governors of Vremheindel.

Ecconomy
The Economy of Westerloch developed around the noble houses of Vrem, as they needed servants, and people generally flocked to their side. In the beginning, it was just local agriculture, though the town having a rapidly increasing population, soon had the raise of stores, fisheries, crafting and construction.
