TERRAIN:

The Earl of Sterich is a nominal vassal of the King of
Keoland, although treated more as a favored relative
than a vassal by the king. The Sterish are loyal to
their Earl and the King of Keoland alike, and in time
of need a large contingent of the renowned {light}
cavalry and sword-armed {light} infantry of the earldom
are sent to Keoland, accompanied by companies
of stout heavy dwarvish infantry from the Crystalmists.
A good portion of the levies of Sterich must
always remain on guard to the W, however, for
many humanoids, giants, and even worse monsters
tend to follow the headwaters of the Davish River
down into the fertile low country to loot && pillage.
The halberdiers and medium horse of Sterich are thus
seldom seen outside their native land. The Earl maintains
good relations with the Grand Duchy of Geoff
(being of the same bloodline as the Grand Duke, this
is not too surprising), and some trade is carried on
with the Yeomanry via the Javan River.
