Across the vast and varied expanse of Northweald, each county rises as a proud pillar of strength, prosperity, and identity, contributing uniquely to the Duchy’s grandeur:

The Weald is not only a source of sustenance but also a symbol of enduring vitality and prosperity. Its hardworking farmers and stewards tend to the land with time-honored traditions, passing down their knowledge through generations. The rhythmic seasons guide their hands, ensuring that each harvest exceeds the last, while vibrant marketplaces bustle with the exchange of grain, fruit, and other precious resources. Weald’s abundance extends beyond its borders, fueling the growth of neighboring counties and forging strong bonds that unite the Dominion in both strength and commerce. 

The County of Northgarde, a land of industry and craftsmanship, sits proudly atop rich veins of precious minerals.

Scattered across the counties lie strategically positioned military outposts, each serving as a vital cornerstone of our society. These strongholds safeguard our citizens with unwavering vigilance, bolster morale through their steadfast presence, and guide our collective faith with resolute authority. Beyond their defensive and spiritual roles, they also anchor bustling marketplaces, driving economic growth and fostering a sense of unity and purpose throughout the realm.

Among these notable landmarks stands the mighty Terenas Harbor, a port of great renown, named in honor of the late King Terenas Menethil II of Lordaeron, whose legacy still echoes through the winds of the Gulf of Bywater. This storied harbor is not just a symbol of our maritime strength, but also a testament to the enduring history of our realm.

Strategically positioned between the prosperous city of Light’s Rest and the formidable Fort Blackwater, Terenas Harbor lies just south of the bustling town of Bywater, at the heart of vital trade routes. Its location offers unparalleled access to the wider region, making it a central hub for both military operations and economic exchange. With its towering docks, sturdy ships, and vigilant fleet, Terenas Harbor stands as a shining beacon of strength, with Admiral Wolfe overseeing its operations and the protection of the realm’s interests in this crucial coastal expanse.
