Duchy: ALLAR
Ruling House: Molneaux
Current Duke: Audric Molneaux
Known Crops: Apples (orchards are a plenty) and farming is successful in the rolling plains, though there are mountains that boarder to the North and beaches along the eastern boarder. There is also mining industry of coal, iron and gold in the north and because of the mountains, there is a thriving lumber industry. There is also a fishing industry since it is located on the coast with a lot of port cities and rivers.
Thrives in: Inter-duchy and Foreign Trade of all kinds
Wealth Status: Known to be wealthy and prosperous- was one of the wealthiest duchies and even more so now since the former Duke of Allar has been 'upgrade' as Grand Duke
Famous for: The birth place of the current Grand Duke and Apple Ale
Rumors: Houses the Fallen Duchy of Harmond and is also home of the known vigilante the Shrouded Swordsman, which is the known accomplice of the Masked Mordecai.
Military: Some of the best Generals and Soldiers have come from here- namely General Serenus; who is one of Grand Duke Allarrick's right hand men. Most men here are required to serve in the military when they are of age.
War Support: Pro-government and very supportive of Grand Duke Allarrick. If you are part of the Allarrian army, you are already presumed to be supporting the Grand Duke's cause.

Duchy: HELLVION
Ruling House: Avelon
Current Duke: James Edmund Avelon
Known Crops: Located near the mountains, there's a lot of mining here and lots of stock in black powder and iron. There's also a lot of farms that focus on cattle rather than crops, but more crop farming (vegetables and wheat) in the valleys.
Thrives in: Inter-duchy Trade- primarily the black powder and iron market
Wealth Status: Known to be wealthy and prosperous- this duchy is quite competitive with it's neighbors and even a bit conceited on this end.
Famous for: 'The most beautiful woman alive'
Rumors: Duchess Melora's daughter is said to have born a daughter who's beauty has no rival. Also, the 'new in line' for the throne is heavily disputed and no one is currently certain what noble house will become the next 'duke' since the current one has no male heir...
Military: It is assumed most men will- at some point in their lives, will serve time in the military for their duchy.
War Support: While Hellvion supports the war, they are frugal in how many of their soldiers they send in support of the Grand Duke's cause.

Duchy: TURGALL
Ruling House: Harmond
Current Duke: Blaith Harmond
Known Crops: Wool?
Thrives in: Taverns and Inns- lots of people stay in Turgall on their travels to the capital
Wealth Status: Turgall does alright, but it is by far not the most richest of duchies
Famous for: It's taverns and Inns and sheep herding
Rumors: The current duke has seemed to have change, but no one can quite put their finger on it. Also, it's speculated the twin sister of the current duke is a mage and is the reason for her 'running away from home'.
Military: While there is a military, it's small at best and it is not something strictly enforced, but men do out of honor and duty for their country.
War Support: Currently, to keep face- this duchy supports the Grand Duke but only sends their men when necessary to support the war efforts. Other wise, Turgall's men remain less used than the other duchies, but it also seems to have a smaller force; though as of lately, there has been an increase in soldier's pay- and thus, a spike in the number of men in it's personal army.

Duchy: CASTAVAR
Ruling House: Arrant
Current Duke: Leif Arrant
Known Crops: There are a lot of rivers and rolling hills in this duchy, so wheat, barely and vegetables have been known to thrive. There is also a fishing market, but it does not rival that of those on the coast.
Thrives in: Farming and Black-smithing
Wealth Status: Castavar does well but it is not one of the most wealthy of duchies
Famous for: A very moody heir
Rumors: Unknown to the masses- the duke is the infamous masked vigilante- the 'masked mordecai' who 'fights crime against mages' at night
Military: As is by tradition, all nobles are presumed to serve in the military or go through some sort of training. Same with the eldest men of each house. Castavar is not known for it's military, so it's forces are mediocre in comparison to some.
War Support: The Current duke's father supported the Grand Duke, but once his son took the throne, he pulled back his forces considerably and did the minimum due to appease Matron's Hollow.

Zero

Duchy: ORCHY
Ruling House: Coleridge
Current Duke: Micah Coleridge
Known Crops: 80% of the income for the duchy comes from the export of apples and cider. The other 20% comes from wine, timber, and a limited number of grains.
Thrives in: Military and political maneuvering
Wealth Status: The wealth of Orchy lies more in its military than in gold, although it is far from a poor duchy – partially because of its military.
Famous for: Apple harvest festivals and one of the finest militias on Connlaoth
Rumors: Some say that Gabriel Coleridge's wife is unfaithful, and a few dare go as far as to question if Gabriel is really the father of Tyler Coleridge.
Military: All able-bodied men of Orchy are expected to serve at least ten years in the duchy's impressive militia - staring immediately when they come of age. Not even the sons of lords, or the sons of the Duke himself, are exempt from this expectation. In times of war and upheaval, all men, regardless of years of service, can be subject to conscription. Conscription is rare, however, as most men of Orchy will gladly volunteer their lives in service to their home, and it is common for boys as young as seven to begin preparation for joining the military on their sixteenth birthday.
War Support: Politically Micah Coleridge has declared his allegiance to the Grand Duke and his cause. However, considering the great militia that Orchy boasts, only a very conservative number of troops have been sent to support the war effort.

Ivory

Duchy: HIGHHEART
Ruling House: Chandos
Current Duke: Harald Chandos
Known Crops: Timber, honey, orchard fruit, furs
Thrives in: Fruit, hunting
Wealth Status: Has increased in recent years but remains, in general, rather poor compared to some.
Famous for: Fruit-flavored alcoholic drinks and desserts, birthplace of Grand Duchess Kathryn Allarrick
Rumors: In spite of their connection to the Grand Duke, Highheart is looked down on by other duchies for the public embarrassment caused by the King of Thieves some years back and for Duke Harald's increasingly eccentricities...as well as rumors of the wildness of the Duke's daughters.  Upon Harald's death, the Duchy will be inherited by Lord Edward Draven.
Military: In theory, all able-bodied men are expected to join the military.  Like many things in Highheart, however, this law is never strictly adhered to.
War Support: Highheart openly supports Duke Calent, although what Duke Harald can offer is neither the best-equipped nor most highly-trained soldiers in Calent's army.

Cambie

Duchy: WULFBAUER
Ruling House: Therrien (Formerly Carwick)
Current Duke: Erwin Therrien

Known Crops: Wulfbauer's agricultural outputs are fairly diverse, in part because the Carwick house traditionally took an active role in the stewardship of the duchy's land and was reluctant to over-rely on any one crop or industry. Amongst its major outputs are timber (Wulfbauer being more wooded than most duchies, and forests being carefully managed to produce timber without over-logging), grain, rapeseed oil, and cheese. Wulfbauer's most famous crop, however, is hops. The duchy is said to produce the best hops in Connlaoth, and its beer also enjoys a modest fame. Another popular export is a truffle-like mushroom that only grows wild in forests and is collected annually.

Thrives in: Agriculture, agroforestry, brewing, soldiers, horses

Wealth Status: Wulfbauer is a comfortable duchy: far from the richest or poorest. The Carwick line of dukes was notably more modest in their lifestyle than some noble houses, sometimes giving the impression that the duchy was less wealthy than it was. But the general livelihood of Wulfbauer's people is comfortable and productive.

Famous for: Horses, beer, and a cursed Dukeship

Rumors: The list of rumors begins with the daughter of the former Duke Harlow, revealed to be a mage but not sent to be raised by the Church. At the onset of the civil war, however, she was sent to the mage camps. Since then, rumors abound that she was sent directly by the Duke, or that she was sent despite the pleas of the Duke, that she waits piously for the end of the war, or that she took part in the uprisings spreading across the camps, or that she's now an outlaw mage, or that she's long dead. Then there was the long-reigning and steady Duke Harlow's assassination suspected but not confirmed at the hands of rebel mages. the death of his heir Avery Carwick in battle, and the death of Avery's younger brother (before news ever reached him that he was now the Duke of Wulfbauer), marked the end of the Carwick line. The Carwick family had served as the dukes of Wulfbauer for longer than anyone could remember, and this loss in the midst of war sent the duchy into turmoil, which began to uneasily steady when Marsden Therrien elevated to Duke. However, when Marsden died only months later, supposedly of sickness, despair gripped the people. Rumors quickly started to spread that the position was cursed, with many even whispering that the curse came from the mage daughter of Duke Harlow in revenge for having been turned over by her own family.

Military: Stalwart, reliable, and sturdy, Wulfbauer has always had a stout and robust army. Especially known for its cavalry.

War Support: Duke Harlow was an ardent, outspoken supporter of the war and of the Grand Duke and committed his full resources to the war effort and the construction of camps and fortresses in the north. (Though many wonder if his outspoken support was not, in part, an attempt to 'save face' after his daughter was Marked). After years of Wulfbauer's resources being bled into the war, Duke Avery began to scale back the duchy's material support of the war. The new Duke Erwin Therrien appears poised to completely withdraw military support for the Grand Duke, citing a shortage of manpower at home in the face of the impending winter.

Duchy: AJHFELD
Ruling House: Buttswick THERE IS CURRENTLY NO RULING HOUSE
Current Duke: Chester Buttswick *deceased
THERE IS CURRENTLY NO RULING HOUSE
Known Crops: Because Ajhfeld is mostly mountains, farming here is nearly impossible. What rolling hills and valleys they do have are rocky at best, and normally live stock- such as beef and diary cow, are most prominent. Sheep and goats are a plenty, as sheperds tend to flocks along the hills and lesser mountains, so the primary trade here is wool.
Thrives in: The wool industry and dairy. Some famous cheeses are known to come from here- even one named after the current line of Dukes- The Buttswick Sharp Cheddar
Wealth Status: On the lower end of the wealth spectrum, it is debatable if they are the lowest, but this duchy certainly does not hold a lot of power politically or monetarily
Famous for: Fort Dhagh
Rumors: Rumors have it that the current Duke of Ajhfeld is the weakest ever, and that he is not ruling much of his duchy, but the lesser lords and merchants, are.
War Support: To gain some political favoring and support, Ahfeld completely supports the Grand Duke and in order to receive extra revenue and tax money from the capital, Ajhfeld alone houses the most mage camps out of all the duchies. There are easily at least ten known mage camps in the Kilanthro mountains, including the prestigious Fort Dhagh.

Lion

Belkrath
Ruler
Duke Dardanus Rastognlir
Heir Apparent
Jaimes Rastognlir
Geography
Borders: Matron's Hollow, Turgall, Wulfbauer, Feirja, Falkenrath, and Ahjfield

Far northern than other Connloathian provinces, climate-wise it is much colder than the balmier provinces to the south.  Up north are the Kilanthro Mountains, which come down half way into the province, providing snow and frost.  To the west are deeper thicker forests, with fertile ground and rushing streams.  The land gradually flattens out the further south, with a few copses.  Another forest lies to the east that grows marsh-like the further one ventures.

Major Locations
Avielle, the Capital of Belkrath.  Buried deep in a highly-defensible mountain pass, Avielle was once a frontier stronghold.  While it is not as wealthy a city in comparison to Reajh, they have a fair stake in nearly all the trade that passes through the country.

Valerian Plains, the covering much of the eastern section of the province, and leading down south, the Valerian Plains are fertile grasslands.  The western edge of the plains borders the largest forest in the province, where the ground is largely raised in hillocks and look out points.  The Hjardis River runs through this area, coming down from the Kilanthro mountains.

Cainan's Wall A well fortified city located on the largest hill in the Valerian Plains.  It is a hub of trade, being nearly at the center of the province.

Natural Resources
Water, Iron, Sharpstone, Pyrian's Stone, Crysitite, Gold, Xanthium, Lumber

Military
Belkrath has practiced conscription regularly, where every male above the age of 16 must enlist in the military.  Duke Dardanus' grandfather created the first standing army within the province's history.  And while House Rastognlir has always had formidable troops, the Belkrathan Army answers only to the Duke of Belkrath.


Politics
Traditionally conservative, the current Duke of Belkrath has sided with the Grand Duke in the current war.  But only a few lords have provided troops in the field. The army remains Dardanus' call should the fight come close to Belkrath's door.

Duchy: Vythe
Ruling House: d'al Astarot
Current Duke: Daemion d'al Astarot
Known Crops: Grains of all types which are grown upon the fertile lands just beneath the mountains.
Thrives on: Industry regarding scientific innovation
Wealth Status: Known to be relatively prosperous, in recent years and the rise of the new Duke, the economy has began to boom at an astonishing rate
Famous for: War machines, cavalry and the beginning of coal based industry
Rumors: It is is said Duke d'al Astarot's pursual of science has brought about the creation of golems solely powered by some mysterious force drawn from the power of water and wind.
Military: Home to Ansgar's Hand as well as other notable cavalry units, the production of advanced metal working has made it rather recognizable as a power hours for juggernauts of the time.
War Support: Previously rather stinging regarding support of any kind to either Mages or the Grand Duke, with the rise of the new Duke, it now offers official support to Grand Duke Calet

Lion


Duchy: FALKENRATH
Ruling House: Formerly Brennick, Currently Harker
Current Duke: Roland Harker
Known Crops: Wide expanses of open land allow for large amounts of fine crops to be grown, among them, wheat, corn, beans, and many others.
Thrives in: Agriculture trade, a few iron mines in the northern part of the duch, and some fishing from the northern part of Athervaan lake.
Wealth Status: Very prosperous at the beginning of the war. However, funding soldiers has caused near bankruptcy, and it's almost central location has caused much of it's once fertile land to be ravaged by opposing forces. Prior to Roland's arrival, Falkenrath struggled to maintain borders and feed her people. He's currently set about restoring Falkenrath back to a self-sustaining status.
Famous for: It's capital city Vermillion, and the Iron Keep, and Fordon 53, a rare wine.
Rumors: The whereabouts of one of the Brennick brothers remains missing. Some say it's because he had something to do with the death of his father, former Duke Michael Brennick.
Military: Falkenrath is now Red Legion Territory and it's forces occupy central and border territory.
War Support:
In prior years, Falkenrath supported the Crown. Currently Falkenrath is against the Crown.
