Duke of the Rolling Plains
Land and Wealth
The Duke of the Rolling Plains presides over one of the most expansive landholdings in all the Dukedoms. This vast territory stretches out in a seemingly endless expanse of fertile plains, the breadbasket of Valsevia and arguably the entire continent of Ararim. The rich soil and flat lands provide the perfect conditions for large-scale farming, making the Dukedom a crucial source of food for the region.
Economic interests
Agriculture reigns supreme in the Rolling Plains. The vast farms produce a surplus of grains, vegetables, and livestock, feeding not only the Dukedom's population but also contributing significantly to trade with neighbouring regions. While there is a small lumber operation within the Dukedom, it pales in comparison to the economic might of the agricultural industry.
Privilege and Duties
The Duke of the Rolling Plains wields immense power due to the Dukedom's role as the primary food source. However, this power comes with a heavy burden. The sheer size of the Dukedom strains resources, making it difficult to adequately protect the sprawling farmlands. The Duke must be a shrewd leader, balancing the needs of a vast population with the constant demands of four neighbouring factions. Additionally, maintaining a strong military presence is crucial to deter raiders and protect the food supply that Valsevia relies upon.
