Barony Greannit
Greannit is the northernmost of the baronies in the county of Fort la nord. Greannit follows the outskirts of the Brynhildur forest and in some places extends into it. The landscape of the barony is hilly with a few peaks standing tall, but the real mountain tops of Aidne are still far away. The most central and highest peak is mount Claireviennevu. Most people avoid it and if they have to pass it, they stick to the road. The peak is well known for being infested with monsters, but also game animals. Some monsters hunt the peasants livestock and if it happens to often, an expedition is mounted to kill the beast.
Logging and woodworking is the most common trade and in each house you will find plenty of axes and people well accustomed in swinging them. The populance have a long tradition of using light hunting crossbows in order to fill the table with meat.
It is quite clear that Greannit is a poor region as the peasants clothing are torn and the villages drab. The peasants generally looks under nourished and their eyes are hollow. Where there in the tradition of Zorakin that usually there are an peasant elder in most villages, this is not the case in Greannit. The baron have placed one of his men in every village in order to make all decisions, and if something happens to this individual the village will be burned to the ground and the people severly punished.
