Twilight of Empires

Located roughly eight miles north of Overgard Regiano is a reasonably prosperous (for the region) Imperial holding. The baron is directly subordinate to Earl Sorland-Gribbel, and is technically tasked with providing troops for the supression of “lawless elements within the bounds of An Rivan. What isn't entirely obvious to his Sorland masters is that the baronial line almost entirely made up of House Rivan adherents.

The castle town and adjacent villages host a population of around 800, about 70% human, and drifting downwards as more and more non-human peasants choose to make their livings in an environment not blatantly tainted by the Earl's overt racism.

The barony's primary economic asset is its dairy cattle, much of whose output is directed into the production of a tasty hard parmesan. They also produce a well regarded beef sausage, and import grain and beans from their neighbors.

• Alexis: Mistress Alexis is the town's representative for both the Mercenaries and the Merchant Guilds. She was head mage and purser for one of those big River Guard military barges, until the Accident, and her condition made her unsuitable for continued service: the Guard does not approve of nursing mothers on active duty. Her five year old son shows promise as a mage and a spirit caller: gestating near one of those mil-spec water elementals had repercussions, it seems.
