The Duchy of Hithlone
Structure
The title of Duke is the highest position within the duchy. Followed by Baron and then the 7 other noble families. There is one honorary title of noble families given to the dwarf clan Wyrmtooth which is not counted among the 9 noble families.
Public Agenda
The Duchy is in the midst of trying to improve their economy and secure their borders.
Assets
The only large fortification within the Duchy is the castle located in the town of Hithlone
Demography and Population
48,840 Humans
600 Dwarves
360 Halfings
200 from Various other Races
Territories
The Duchy of Hithlone is covered in wide open plains with some forest coverage to the east and west of the Duchy. The hills were the dwarves have made their home are located in the west. While to the east is the wilderness. There are only two larger towns of note, they are the capital Hithlone and the village of Crehill. The halfings within the Duchy keep to themselves in their own small villages and hamlets mostly centered in the southern part of the territory.
Military
As the population of the realm is relatively small there is no standing army besides the few guards located in the two towns. Upon times of need the duke will call upon the noble houses to gather as many men and women under their banners as possible as well as roughly 300 dwarves from Clan Wyrmtooth. The Duchy is able to muster at most around 10,000 soldiers before the entire economy starts to suffer.
While their numbers will never be large in size. The addition of Clan Wyrmtooth warriors is of great boost to the forces of the realm as well as providing the soldiers much better armor than they used to have before the dwarves moved into the realm.
