A duchy is a political grouping of regions of a realm, ruled by a duke or duchess. Dukes are appointed by the ruler.

  • Rulers have the option to create new duchies. The option is found in the "Politics" tab. A new Duchy can only be created from City, Stronghold or Townsland regions. That region must currently have a lord who is not already a duke. The current Lord of that region will be promoted to be the duke of the new duchy, and his region will automatically be added to the new duchy. After creation, the duchy no longer needs to include a city, stronghold, or townsland region. In fact, the duchy does not require any regions at all to continue being a duchy. It will remain a duchy until the ruler dissolves it.
  • If the ruler wishes to create a new duchy and become duke of that duchy leavening the other duchy to another lord the process is as follows:

-First: step down as Marquis of the original city or towns-land and appoint yourself lord of the new city. -Second: appoint a replacement lord to the original city. He will need to step down from previous titles and claims -Third: you may wish to rename your duchy now, this will become the name of your new duchy. -Fourth: declare the original city that was the basis of the original duchy a new duchy. At this point you can give this duchy the name of the old duchy for the sake of continuity. When this is done the new duchy will be a single region duchy. Region lords will most likely want to switch back to their original duchy.

  • Rulers have the option to dissolve a Duchy that has no regions.
  • Rulers have the option to rename Duchies, at a cost of 50 gold per renaming.

Notes

This page describes duchies under the New Estates system that is currently active on Testing servers, and will soon be implemented on Stable servers as well. Older features that exist only under the old estate system are not documented here.
