Barony Lomellie
The Barony Lomellie is the most southeastern of the baronies and surrounds the count Fort la Nord castle and the city Boronne. The barony do not have any large forests within it, but rather many smaller forests with open landscape between them. The land is hilly but fertile making it well suited for dairyfarming.
Within the barony there is a large lake, filled with fish. The lakes is called Lake Raxor and scattered around it are ruins from the old Raxorian kingdom. Some of them are said to be haunted and there is a local legend of ghosts on the lake as well. According to the legend boats with fleeing raxorians where sunk by Penner ballistas and the ghost of them haunt the lake.
The baron have granted a large and fertile piece of land to the church, and they are preparing to build a monestary there. There are two churches in the main town of the barony.
In comparisation to its northern neighbours the orc threat is negliable. There might be some small bands roaming through, but they are often hunted down. There are other dangers lurking within the more wild parts of the barony. One monster that the inhabitants often need to consider are Harpies and Hippogriffs. The Hippogriffs makes their nests far to the north but have learned that the cows and goats make easy prey. The small thick forests makes good homes for the Harpies. There are also ordinary dangerous animals such as wolves and bears roaming the barony.
The northeastern part of the barony is uninhabitated. Somewhere in the wilderness there is a large plain where it is said that a large battle between the Raxorians and Lindskiarn where fought. It was bloody and brutal and the ghosts of the dead still haunts the plain. It is also known that a small band of bandits called Colovi-brothers have their base in the wilderness and use it when they aren´t "at work" in the duchy.
