Old Minkbrantha

The Land of Stone, Wood and Iron

Minkbrantha abuts [[Elvendeep] and Zul Kiras, serving as the North Western border of the confederacy. It is a unsettled and wild land, rich with resources, cold water streams and old growth forest. The major exports of Minkbrantha are raw materials; lumber, minerals, metals, beer and furs. With the exception of beer, they only occasionally export edible goods and seem far more interested in storing it for their own use.

Settlements

• Caern (Administrative Capital)
• Castle Dreth and Caeth (Military Stronghold)
• Rathaa (Trade Center)
• Several small mining, lumber cutting, farming, trade and military outposts

Knightly Orders

• The Bloody Fifth Knights who have Passed the Trials of the Sword and serve House Dreth directly.
• The Old Orders Minkbranthian orders that existed prior to Dreth's ascension who swore fealty.
• Knights of the New Order Minkbranthian warriors knighted by Sithire Dreth after his ascension.

The Law

Minkbrantha is feudal and ruled by martial law. Any officer of the Bloody Fifth, or of a bannerman to house Dreth, may impose the will of the Lord to which they are subordinate. The family Dreth and the Officers of the Fifth, however, are the highest authority. All personages of Minkbrantha and anyone within the territory are subject to the rule and whim of the Crown. Foreign Nobles will, of course, be granted courtesy.
