Oxford

Ruled by: Earl Hawksmoor and the Crown Council of Oxford Order of Succession: It remains to be seen how the succession in Oxford will play out.

Oxford was once the seat of the rulers of Albion, though after the return of High King Tristian and his successors, this tradition was broken – to the chagrin of the Crown Council of Oxford. Currently the inscrutable Earl Hawksmoor acts as regent for the nation, overseeing its recovery after the recent ravages of the fey war. Although she has generally good relations with the other rulers of Albion, the wars have left deep scars - and not just those that are physical in nature. There is also historical antagonism between Oxford and Wessex, with the former refusing to open its borders to Wessex troops marching to Cornwall during the war with Artur. The kingdom is a highly civilised and cultured region of Albion, especially with Oxford University, the eminent centre of learning and strong links to the elven folk of Elvesham. And of course, nobody does courtly tradition and intrigue like Oxford - it takes its historical rituals and customs very seriously indeed, causing accusations of pomposity and arrogance from outsiders.
