Knight-Barony of Saltrenhill

Overview

Formerly known as the Barony of Hammercrag, this hilly region was the subject of an immense battle with an Orcish horde from the Barrier Peaks a little over fifty years ago. The forces of good (dwarves and humans) had been pushed back far into the barony, and the orcs had destroyed everything in their path, including the estate of the then Baron of Hammercrag. The baron and his heirs were dead, and things looked bad. However, a knight by the name of Tascivanus Saltren rallied the human and dwarven forces at a desolate hill in the center of the barony. Under Tascivanus’ leadership, the orcs were remarkably routed and driven back into the Barrier Peaks. Most of the orcs were slain, and the barony was saved. 
The citizens of Hammercrag convinced the Margrave to appoint Tascivanus to the position of baron. They renamed the barony and the hill and moved the capital to that same hill. And so, Saltrenhill was born. Activity amongst raiders in the Barrier Peaks has increased of late, and the baron is considering offering a sizable bounty on the heads of any raiders slain in the Peaks.
