History
Provinces
Ardmore
Governor: Viscount Stan Spiff
The lush green fields of Ardmore represent a core part of the Duchy of Grehk. The Bridge of Ardmore stands as the only connection between the Northern Islands and the Grehkian mainland. Over the ages Ardmore has been a target of many invasions and onslaughts. Damaged during the Daimonic Invasions the region regained her former populace only to become a subject of high treason by Lord Alair Scirius during the Fourth Age of Beluaterra. Nowadays, Ardmore is restored by Riombara and firmly under the control of her overlords.
With over 90% of grassy and fertile terrain Ardmore is one of the main feeding grounds for the city of Grehk and the surrounding towns. It is also a home of the Riombaran most pure and powerful steeds, largely contributing to the Riombaran military cavalry.
Avengmil
Governor: Earl Yuri Ishimu
A rich town north of Grehk and beyond the Bridge of Ardmore, Avengmil is a place scarred by the Daimonic Invasions and barbarian raiders. The populace has been almost entirely exterminated during the Daimonic rule, but alas, with the Riombaran reconquista the defenses have been much improved and nowadays a large moat and bailey protects the town.
Avengmil attracts wealthy merchants and traders making it a staging point to conduct trade across the Northern Islands. The town does have a small portion of land dedicated to the growing of crops and wheat, however, with many more immigrants arriving daily the town mostly depends on the neighboring Ardmore to feed her.
Glongin
Governor: Viscount Hylor Hobbs
Glongin is a peaceful and calm rural region located just south of Grehk, with her south-western side laying on the banks of river Eylmon that springs in the mountains of Bym. As many other southern regions it has been a subject of extensive pillages and tortures during the invasions, however, unlike the rest of the regions of the Duchy of Grehk it has been relatively safe and preserved in the Fourth Age of Beluaterra.
The fertile lands on the eastern bank of river Eylmon are the main source of food for the Glonginers, and alas, it produces much more than what they need which makes Glongin the bread basket for the city of Grehk and the northern and southern towns of Mio Dupaki and Rueffilo.
Mio Dupaki
Governor: Viscount Mordred Lefanis
Mio Dupaki is a bustling town located on the southern shore of the Sea of Four Cities and a suburb of the city of Grehk. A well walled town has always been considered as a perfect place for the aristocrats of the Duchy of Grehk for relaxation and inspiration, and one of the most prosperous and industrious of places in the entire Duchy.
In the Fourth Age it was a major defensive point for Riombara during the Second Great War and a site of a tremendous battle popularly named Shooting Turkeys. A monument has been erected to honor that victory as well.
Rueffilo
Governor: Marquess Ilandor Capelo
A largest town in the entire Duchy of Grehk and in all of Riombara. It hosts over 10,000 people and it even equals some of the smaller cities of the continent. Although relatively preserved during the invasions the infrastructure was completely obliterated during the Second Great War when Rueffilo has been a first line of front between Riombara and Irombrozia often changing hands between those two realms, at that time deservingly gaining the nickname "no man's land".
The town is important for the trade across the South to the cities of Irombro and Eno which is why it has been walled with the huge fortifications during the Riombaran reconquista.
Military
Army of the Sun
Army of the Sun has been founded by Duke Asterion Arrakis during the Fourth Age of Beluaterra and the Great Second War. It represents the main army of Riombara attracting the best elite nobles Riombara can offer, and defending the Riombaran interests and those of the Duchy of Grehk in the field of battle.
