Duchy of Moridale
A mystery to many how the rich Duchy in contested territory has remained free from factional rule.
The "duke" has a knack for picking the correct side in a conflict and a master of playing one off against another - this has greatly contributed to Moridale remaining independent, to date.

To date, Moridale has seemed to be effectively defended.
