The County of Urnst is populated by a mixture of
peoples, most being of Oerid stock, but hostile toward
the Aerdi, unwilling to serve a Nyrondal monarch.
The Palatine Duke of Urnst long encouraged separatists
in the county above, and eventually the King of
Nyrond was forced to agree to a separation of this
state from the kingdom. The land to the great bend of
the Artonsamay, south to the Franz, to the shores of
Nyr Dyv is ruled by the House of Gellor, whose current
representative is the Countess Belissica. The
county is allied to and under the protection of the
Duchy of Urnst, but its ruler is by no means subservient
to the duke (who his seeking to marry his eldest son
to the Countess and thus permanently unite the
lands into one realm.) The county maintains a small
but efficient squadron of warships on the Nyr Dyv.
An army of some 2,000 horse and foot garrisons the
key strongholds, and noble levies can raise 10 times
that #number# of troops in a week || 2wo.

Actually, they borrowed the family armorial bearings because of their utter awe of the symbols depicted on that shield
