castellan families of High Tordoran heritage. Following
the border assignations of the Corvis Treaties, the
monarchs of Ord apportioned the south to chieftains
of Thurian blood who called themselves moorgraves.
The name has stuck throughout the centuries and the
monarchs of Ord adopted the term grav (pronounced
“grave”) for their own provincial divides. The north
still belongs exclusively to the most powerful castellan
families who are beholden to the Ordic throne, and
the south belongs to the moorgraves who claim various
allegiances to one another as well as to the Ordic king.
Almare
A heartland region of Ord, Almare (al-mar-ray)
includes Hearthstone, Armandor, and the major
farmlands and pastures east of Merin. Although the
inhabitants are considered provincial and frequently
out of touch with the latest news and schemes, they
are valued for their stalwart loyalty and obedience to
the throne. Some internal conflict in Almare exists
between its landed castellans and the Thurian gentry.
Moorgrave Rogan Torcail rules Almare.
Cosetio
The northwestern grav called Cosetio includes
Berck and the shoreline south almost to the
Shearwater Narrows, Corbhen, and the Windwater
Lakes. Cosetio is noted primarily for its fishing fleets
and the bulk of the Ordic Royal Navy based out of
Berck. Despite lacking farmland, Cosetio is the second
most prestigious grav in the kingdom and home to
many proud castellans. Lord Castellan Heiro Mascal
rules Cosetio.
Hetha
Hetha includes most of the Olgunholt Forest, the
cities of Five Fingers and Carre Dova, and numerous
smaller towns. It is bounded on the north by the
Warrens and on the east by the Western Tradeway. This
grav has always been resistant to taxation although it
is rumored Five Fingers has arrangements with the
Ordic throne and produces some profit based on
illegal smuggling. The Moorgrave Conor Lochlan
rules Hetha.
Murio
The rugged northern grav called Murio is centered
on Midfast and includes Scarswall and Boarsgate forts
along with most of the northern hills and highlands of
Ord. Although lacking natural resources, it is a crucial
strategic region well supported by the army. Some
minor operations mine its hills although no major
claims have been found in decades. Murio is ruled
by Lord Castellan Ostal Vascar, General of the Shield
Division and commander of Midfast.
Tordoro
Tordoro grav includes the capital city of Merin and
Lake Vannogear. It is one of the most fertile regions
of Ord, noted for its productive farmlands, copious
woods, and numerous grazing pastures. The most
influential castellans own land in this region where
they keep their extensive cattle herds. Tordoro is
the original province of the Cathors, and the grav is
governed by Prince Baird Cathor III, Lord Castellan.
Wythmoor
Southeastern Wythmoor is a swampy grav that
includes various small lowland communities, the town
of Tarna, the Wythmoor for which it is named, and the
Dogwood (a term for the Olgunholt east of the Western
Tradeway). Aside for logging mostly for cork, this area
has meager resources. Most of its economy comes via
river trade through Tarna. Some of the bogfolk of
this region seem confused about whether they live in
Cygnar or Ord—they honestly do not much care. The
Moorgrave Gralan Turlough rules Wythmoor.
