Barony of Beldoah (bel-doe-ah)
The Barony of Beldoah is the oldest of the "marcher" Baronies, established in 77 AF. However, the region was an independent country prior to the Ohnni Conquest ruled by the Toricki family (with the title of Count) for more than 100 years. The City of Beldoah is one of the oldest functioning cities in the Kingdoms, and boasts some of the largest and most beautiful buildings anywhere in Imesse.
The Barony has 40 miles of the eastern bank of the mighty Caldar River and another 40 miles of the Kingdom's border with the Kingdom of Aria along the Teeth of the North. The great "King's Road" begins and ends at the Baronial seat, the City of Beldoah.
