The Duchy of Enadar

The Duchy of Enadar

Enadar is a land of fertile hills and dales. The land receives a lot of rain and as such it is the home of many dairy farms, chicken, cow, goat and sheep herds and is said to have the sweetest meats of any lands. Its’ forests produce many fine pigs, deer, furs and mushrooms. In the south the farms produce grapes and cereal grains, while in the north the land grows root vegetables and is dotted with many orchards and the hardier grains are grown. Its’ seas are bountiful and the northwestern capes host many fishing ships and trade vessels. The region has a large Njorsk populations along with a diversee population and large minority of non-humans.
The Hexarchy presence here is relatively light. While there are numerous covenant-holds they are fairly independent and stay mostly to themselves and out in the countryside. The exception to this being the Order of the Veiled Mists that is popular along its eastern coast and is fairly involved in Enadarian politics and life. The people along the eastern coast are very superstitious and always glad to have a mystic along at any point in time. Rumors of cities under the sea, great sea monsters and unpredictable weather plague the area. Due to the jutting rocks and treacherous currents most sailors stay well clear of the rocky Jutland Coast and sail far out to sea on the eastern side to avoid shipwrecks. The winds and currents are calmer on the lee side of the Jutlands and sailing is even considered recreational there.
Overall, Enadar is a relatively calm place although its bickering with Rhuane Duchy is legendary, other than that the only real threats are the humanoids from the southern valleys and in its moors are the omnipresent threat of insectile mound-colonies appearing, something fairly common here unfortunately. Rumors of ghosts and monsters plague the road from Elilstahl and Etinhaig and bandits are not uncommon. Piracy and Njorsk raiders are a perennial problem on the Jutland Sea as well but are considered a nuisance at their worse.
