The Lordships of Aldarius
These are the 10 Human kingdoms in the Southern Plains. They are very young in terms of Aldarius history. Humans are only known to have existed on this continent for just over 200 years. The fey races have been here for millennia.
Humans took hold in the plains and thrived through agricultural communities. But Orcs ruled the plains and the struggle was bloody. Humans prevailed and pushed the Orcs into the Tarn Foothills.
Now there are 5 northern lordships and 5 southern ones. They claim all lands, south of the Dragon Spine Mountains, East of the Sylvorest and West of The Black Forest. Even the Tarn is claimed by the Northern Lords, but the Orc have control of most of it.
In the NE corner is the Lordship of Edwin. Edwin is bordered on the North with untamed Tarn, a 120 mile border. To the East is the Black Forest. That border runs over 200 miles. The Southern border is the neutral Kings Road region. A 10 mile wide swath of central plains that contains the Kings Road, the main throughway across the entire Southern Plains. The Kings Road is over 1000 miles long the eastern most 200 miles is Edwin's southern border. The road starts at a frontier town on the edge of the Black Forest called BlackGate. The road runs west to the Sylvorest and a town called Lakeview. Edwins western border is a hotley contested 500 mile border with Duhnraven.
The Lordship of Duhnraven is known best for their cooperative relationship with Orcs, a character not shared by Edwin.
