Almore, Prelacy of
Originally a clerical fief of Aerdy, Almor grew in power and independence as the
Great Kingdom became weak and decadent. The various petty nobles and the
Lord Mayor of the town of Innspa swear allegiance to the reigning prelate —
usually a high priest. The state is only loosely organized, but it has a strong spirit
of freedom and justice based upon religious precepts. The peoples are mainly
farmers and herdsmen and fisherfolk. In the far north there are some foresters.
Militia contingents bear crossbow, spear or polearm (fauchard or glaive most
commonly), or longbow or battleaxe (northern contingent). Standing forces
number around 5,000 total horse and foot, plus the nobility and gentry. The
Prelacy is strongly supported by Nyrond as a buffer between that realm and that
of the Overking, and pays a stipend to help support the standing army of Almor.
