Northern Tellia
Northern Tellia, also known as Thither Tellia, Western Trans-Elwynn, Angularis, and Aizien Kuzoroq (Elw, "the wide open", an ironic name given that most of it is covered in woodland), is a region in Benacia shared between the Tellian Confederation, and the Unified Governorates of Benacia (and, formerly also by Elwynn and Shireroth). Until the end of the year 1679, both Tellia and Elwynn claimed full sovereignty over the area; Tellia since the Kalirion Fracture of 1671, but it had not exercised any large authority over the area (except for, perhaps, Città di Scoglitto and Fiorecittà), and Elwynn annexed the territory in 1679. Elwynn has had a vested interest in the area since long before that, though, as it was once part of the Elwynnese Union area of Vale of Angularis along with today's Trans-Elwynn region. At the end of the year 1679, Elwynn and Tellia agreed to split the area between them, and thereafter the Unified Governorates was invited to the negotiations to adjust the border between Tellia and the UGB. The parties concluded the Northern Tellia Agreement which also regulated access across the "new" Tellian territory for Raspur Pact member states, as well as Tellian crossings between its mainland and its Mamehblinij acxess.
Tellia had not exercised any control over the area except in Scoglitto, the main city of the region, causing the area to be ruled by various mafias and warlords, notably the 'Nclavesci. This prompted Elwynnese, Sanaman and UGB excursions into the area since the early 1670s. By 1679, the Elwynnese established through its Fälttåget mot 'Nclavesci campaign a Peace and Stability Mission that began overseeing the establishment of a legal order in parts of the region, with the view to extend that legal order to the entirety of the region as soon as possible.
Bailiwicks
During the Elwynnese occupation of the region, the Elwynnese government attempted to create a number of bailiwicks (See below). However, after the Northern Tellia Agreement had been ratified, the Council of Eliria decided to admit the recognized Elwynnese part of Northern Tellia as one Bailiwick under the name Northern Tellia, a bailiwick to last for about a year whereafter it would be replaced by a number of bailiwicks established by the Tellian population. The Northern Tellia region of Elwynn was transferred in its entirety to the Unified Governorates in the aftermath of the Amokolian Revolution.
