Margrave
Feudal Lord of a Bordermarch, a territory along the Borderlands to the realm. Wields substantial power within the Court of Balgrendia. It is a non-hereditary military title which ranks higher than a Count and as such is usually granted to those already counted among the Nobility. Answers to a Duke and the King.
Unlike most nations, within Balgrendia, the existence of internal Borderlands marks the nation's unique struggle against encroaching faerie malignance. These areas, brimming with unchecked faerie power, encircle regions of intense supernatural activity. Among them, the Bordermarch of the Midnight Lands stands as the most formidable, safeguarded by the esteemed Margrave Dragan Vukasinovic. His name resonates across the nation, symbolizing a bulwark against terrors unfathomable to the average Balgrendian. Other significant Bordermarches, such as those encircling the Guultan Bog, or bordering the Marnin Fens, and Brevnik Swamp, punctuate the land with their own tales of eerie phenomena and lurking dangers. These areas are vigilantly monitored by the Borderguard conscripts, a line of defense drawn from the populace to contain the spread of faerie influence. However, it is the Margraves of these larger Borderlands who marshal forces of a different caliber. Under their command are troops that stand apart in their level of training, equipment, and dedication. These soldiers are the elite, tasked with confronting the gravest threats that spill from the fae realms. Far from expendable, they are the seasoned veterans of Balgrendia's unseen wars, a testament to the enduring vigilance required to hold back the darkness at the nation's fringes.
