Duchy of Amittefeux
Duke Ragnvald Harienne
The duchy of Amittefeux is a warm, sunny and a very open landscape, where the few hills hardly impacts the view. The land is fertile and with the mild weather it is possible for two harvests each year, making it bontiful and pleasant to live in. The centre of the duchy is made up by the thick and inhospitable Torilforest, which is home to several tribes of black bloods. As you get closer to the Toril forest the landscape changes and it becomes more hilly. Deep in the centre of the forest there can clearly be seen small mountains.
The capital of both Zorakin and Amittefeux is the city of Pendonne which is the centre of culture, learning and trade of the whole kingdom. The duke of Amittefeux is always the crownprince of Zorakin, and if the new king haven´t any sons the closest male relative crown prince will stay as duke, until a son is born.
