The ten westernmost polities of the [[Kingdom of Dericania]] were annexed into [[Urcea]] in [[1848]] following the [[Third Caroline War]]. These territories, now known as [[Eastvale]], experienced considerable population decline as militia-waged atrocities and other factors lead to a large scale exodus of [[Derian people]] from the territory by the 1850. The Rectory for the Eastern Valley, the territorial government established following the war, formally petitioned the [[Concilium Daoni]] to expand the Leonine Land Decree of 1590 to include the new territory. The Daoni passed the law in 1852, leading to a large influx of settlers into Eastvale. The Ómestaderoi soon owned 85% of all private lands within the Rectory and the program was halted in 1880. This generation of settlers lead to [[Urcean people]] becoming the majority population of the province.

==Widowland==

Following the [[Red Interregnum]], there were large parcels of lands that large estate owners held title to but were dispossessed by the [[Urcean Republic]] in its effort to bring about radical economic and social reform. With the return of King [[Patrick III of Urcea|Patrick III]] and the end of the war, these lands lay fallow and still unoccupied. Rather than returning the lands to the estate owners, the King decided to compensate estate owners financially and took direct possession of the lands via the [[Constitutional Settlement Act of 1902]]. After having possessed these lands, the King authorized the final large scale Ómestaderoi settlement program on these lands for the widows and children of those who had died during the war on either side. A final wave of Ómestaderoi women and children left the cities - especially [[Urceopolis (City)|Urceopolis]] - to take up residence on their new properties throughout the mid-1900s. Colloquially, these Ómestaderoi-settled parcels became known as "Widowlands", and the children who grew up on them and their descendants have retained their "Widowlander" heritage. Every province in Urcea has chapters of the Widowlander Society, a fraternal organization dedicated to maintaining the traditions and heritage of Widowlander groups.
