Knight-Barony of Parulla

Overview

Baron Zafar Rashendra is by far the eldest of the Baklunish statesmen. He has been baron for nearly 35 years and is well respected among Bissel's Ruling Council for his wise counsel. Zafar was forced to assume control of the barony when his uncle died, and he was the only viable candidate to succeed him. A vision from Istus sealed the deal. Zafar makes decisions based on the effect on all of Bissel, not just Parulla. This means he has many enemies within his own barony, but significantly more friends outside Parulla than perhaps any other baron. His political influence on the Ruling Council is second only to the baron of Besselar. 
One issue where the interests of Zafar’s subjects does not conflict with the interests of Bissel is on the issue of the tax on the Baklunish people; Zafar believes this is bad for both groups, and he has opposed the tax by levying it on all of his citizens, not just the Baklunish. Parulla is a substantial producer of iron and gems, but it is unable to produce at the levels of Jadartha. Frequent flooding along the Realstream results in a large percentage of the land in Parulla being extremely fertile but dangerous to inhabit during the flood season. There are rumors of a pro-Baklunish, anti-Margrave revolutionary group based out of either this barony or Jadarta.
