TERRAIN:

When the Bandit Kingdoms began to grow powerful,
the petty nobles of the north shores of the Nyr Dyv
banded together in a mutual protection society.

The Knights of the Shield: The small Earldom of Walworth had the advantage of possessing
a sizable island upon which was built the only
city in the whole district, so its Lord was chosen as
Knight Commander of the combined forces of the
nobles. A HQ was est. at Admunfort,
and a holy order of religious knights begun. The
Shield Lands are still ruled by many small noblemen,
while the Earl of Walworth is hereditary general of
their combined military && naval forces. Their military
activity brings contributions from Furyondy && Urnst,
as well as many esquires && knights to serve
in the core of the army, the Knights of the Holy Shielding.
This AREA currently is in desperate straits with the
growing might of the Horned Society menacing the
delicate balance.
