Bannerheim

The king, Barad the Fat, refused the overtures made by the emperor, and erected large forts on the plains west of his major cities, Bannerheim and Salstad. After a long and costly war, Barad the Fat was betrayed by his youngest son Barash who informed Coringian forces of the time and place of Barad’s planned sea voyage to Heliopolis in the south to purchase military help from the Hellenes. Barad’s ship was captured and he was brought back to Coringhall where he was imprisoned and never heard from again. In return for his treachery, Barash was made the governor of Bannerheim and given lands in the Banner Hills. The older son of Barad the Fat, Baran, also known as Baran the Navigator, made his escape to sea with the majority of the kingdom's fleet, sailing far north into the Inner Sea and establishing the kingdom of Barania in the lands past the Belts of Ran.
