Bailiwick of Gloomburg

The Bailiwick of Gloomburg, formerly a constituent governorate of the realm of the Unified Governorates of Benacia located in central Benacia. Reduced to the status of a bailiwick following its incorporation into the Governorate of Austland in 1703 AN. The bailiwick's administrative centre, the eponymous Gloomburg]] serves as the seat of the Governor of Austland. The bailiwick is a centre for heavy industries, particularly metallurgy, and thus has a strategic importance belying its comparative remoteness from the historic major population centres and trade routes of Benacia.
