Knight-Barony of Swordfields

Overview

This barony has been host to hundreds of battles. Its terrain is variable, with many hills, small waterways, woods, and plains that provide numerous opportunities for both offensive and defensive strategy. The name of the barony goes back many years to a comment made by a Gran March commander who passed through this region; he called it a “place of barren fields where nothing grows but swords, corpses, and resentment”. 
Because this barony has repeatedly been the scene of battles, the population of the region is rather low. But those who do live here are usually veterans of war or adventuring. Swordfields is an excellent place for those seeking mercenaries or training in war and combat. The family in charge of this barony for over 50 years are the Valiserats. The current baron, Steich Valiserat, was the military advisor to the former Margrave, Walgar. He is a master at the longsword as well as a brilliant military tactician.
