Demesnes (4)
Demesne | Map | Flag | Coat or Seal | Capital | Population | Leader | Notes |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Kizshire | Drakorda | 10,013,678 (1690 AN) | HRH Loki, Duke of Kizshire | Named after former Shirerithian Kaiseress and Queen of Malarboria, Kizzy Drakland. It is home to the capital of the kingdom, Drakorda. The economy is reliant on the service and government industries, with small chromium mines in the north. | |||
Capeshire | Modan Hamlet | 11,590,781 (1690 AN) | TRH Qaren, Duchess of Capeshire | Capeshire is economically important. Three busy ports, Eriksburg, Modan Hamlet, and Raynor's Point occupy important points on the Circum-Benacian trade routes. Eastern Capeshire is the kingdom's greatest producer of grain, and has the most fertile grain-producing soil in southern and eastern Benacia. | |||
Sehmlshire | Lyhigh | 4,001,987 (1690 AN) | HRH Griselia, Duchess of Sehmlshire | Sehmlshire, named after lackluster Shirerithian Kaiser, Sehml I. The loss of some of Lachmodan's coastline and barrier islands to neighboring Sanama reduced Twoggle's importance as a port city. As a result, Sehmlshire is now among the poorest of Drak-Modan's demesnes, as it is mostly rural. It is known for a sturdy breed of donkey, nicknamed Sehml's ass, that is gaining popularity as an unofficial national animal. It's capital, Lyhigh, attracts many tourists as its castle was where Kizzy Drakland first used the Sword of Fire to ignite her Emberbark, setting her down her daemonic path. | |||
Draconia | Dracoheim | 8,091,818 (1690 AN) | HBM John, King of the Draconians | Formerly known as Nel Modan and associated with the larger So-Saran archipelago, the islands of Draconia are now a demesne od Drak-Modan. The islands were considered critical for the new kingdom's essential fruit supply. It's capital is Dracoheim, which is believed to be the ancient, semi-legendary origin of the Draconian people of Natopia, and the city where, according to lore Kaiser Loki I spent time in the brothels and started the bloodline that would become the Line of Drak.
Most of the islands have become tropical fruit plantations, with a large migrant population during the harvest season, and tourists year-round. Many plantations are owned by conglomerates, former noble families, and others. |
