Duchy of Cueb
The Duchy of Cueb is one of the Provinces of Erikadia.
Duchy Cueb takes up the northern half of the Kadamar Hills. The county is notable for having Hill Dwarves as a ruling family. Most of the eastern half of the province is made up of small dwarven communities, while the western coast has small fishing communities.
History
The County was created by a compromise with the rising Kingdom of Erikadia. Initially the Kuyeb Clan ruled over the region unimpeded, but in order to avoid losing all their power in a war with the Kingdom, the Clan agreed to become a feudal state under the King, and was able to retain their land, and gain new titles.
Demography and Population
About half of the population are Hill Dwarves with some Mountain Dwarves. The other half along the coast is mostly Humans, Gnomes and Elves.
Religion
While the Temple of Sevina is the national religion, due to its endorsement by the monarch, most of the Kuyeb Clan worship Seluyer, the god of the hills and Erosanea, and most of the country folk are devotees of Grenia, the goddess of the Harvest.
Foreign Relations
Generally amicable relations with their neighbors, though there are many disputes with the Barony of Telvan, whose barons are generally very human supremacist in their outlook, and see a dwarfish duke (higher ranked than a baron) as an affront to human dignity.
