246 <strong>Iron</strong> <strong>Kingdoms</strong><br />

108.1.141.197<br />

of the Llaelese Order of the Golden Crucible. A<br />

Khadoran military reserve has been maintained in<br />

Leryn, but they have not bothered to secure the rest<br />

of the region.<br />

Resources: <strong>Iron</strong>, industrial metals, consumer crops<br />

Industry: Alchemy, metal refineries, enginery<br />

Ancestral Ruler: Archduke Tymeck d’Lyn<br />

(executed at Merywyn)<br />

Occupation Ruler: Koldun Volkh Lazar of the<br />

Greylords Covenant<br />

New Umbrey (occupied)<br />

New Umbrey is a mountain duchy including<br />

Laedry—some are already calling it New Korska—and<br />

the areas immediately surrounding the city including<br />

Redwall Fort, several lucrative coal mines, and the<br />

northern border with Khador. This region bears<br />

the scars of both ancient and recent battles; farmers<br />

unearth buried warjack wrecks and the bones of soldiers<br />

without much effort. Some already view New Umbrey<br />

as part of Khador, and pressure is mounting to fold the<br />

duchy into either the Korskovny or Umbresk volozkya.<br />

Historically this region belonged to Khador after the<br />

Corvis Treaties but was ceded to Llael as a concession<br />

at the end of the Border Wars in 313 AR. Regaining<br />

this territory was one of the main justifications for the<br />

invasion of Llael. Umbreans of the region are in a state<br />

of unrest, as most have developed a deeply ingrained<br />

hatred for Khador in the last few centuries.<br />

Resources: Coal, consumer crops, iron<br />

Industry: <strong>Iron</strong> refinery, textiles<br />

Ancestral Ruler: Lord General Alreg Vladirov,<br />

Archduke of New Umbrey (missing in action and<br />

presumed dead)<br />

Occupation Ruler: Viscount Barak Ushka, vassal of<br />

the Great Prince Tzepesci of Umbresk<br />

Northryne, The (occupied)<br />

Of the mountain duchies, the Northryne contains<br />

the richest coal and ore mines producing much<br />

needed ores processed and shipped through Rynyr.<br />

Given the duchy’s wealth in resources, the High<br />

Kommand considers this area strategically important.<br />

Resources: Coal, gemstones, industrial metals,<br />

precious metals, alchemical deposits<br />

Industry: Metal refineries<br />

Ancestral Ruler: Archduke Vydor Tadiri of the<br />

Northryne (executed at Merywyn)<br />

Occupation Ruler: Lord Palyn d’Myr, reporting to<br />

Posadnik Igor Vojinovich<br />

Southryne, The (mostly occupied)<br />

It is said the Southryne contains the most fertile<br />

lands of all the duchies and also encompasses the<br />

capital city of Merywyn, Aliston Yard, and most of<br />

southern Llael up to, but not including, Greywind<br />

Tower. The bulk of Khador’s forces in Llael occupy<br />

this duchy. A portion of the eastern lands remains<br />

unoccupied, but these farming communities represent<br />

no significant military threat.<br />

Resources: Consumer crops, industrial crops,<br />

timber, grazing land<br />

Industry: Enginery, metal refinery, textiles,<br />

alchemy<br />

Ancestral Ruler: Prime Minister Deyar Glabryn,<br />

Archduke of the Southryne<br />

Occupation Ruler: Kommandant Mikhail<br />

Ivdanovich, Count and Posadnik of Merywyn<br />

Voxsauny (not occupied)<br />

Voxsauny is a lucrative pastoral valley that includes<br />

a number of Llael’s best vineyards, the town of<br />

Rhydden, Greywind Tower, and a length of Llael’s<br />

southeastern border with Ios. Along with the wine<br />

trade, lumber economically supports this duchy. It is<br />

the only duchy not yet occupied by Khador and has<br />

become a gathering point for Llaelese refugees.<br />

Resources: Consumer crops, timber, industrial crops<br />

Industry: Vineyards, lumber mills, textiles<br />

Ancestral Ruler: Archduke Balen di Voxsauny<br />

(executed at Merywyn), his infant son Balen II<br />

(currently in Caspia with his mother Sabyna)<br />

Current Ruler: Lord Gregore Delryv IV, Duke of<br />

Rhydden
