The White marches is the most dangerous area of the Kingdom, having to contend with barbarians and natural dangers from the woods and mountains. As such it has a long and honored martial tradition in which becoming an adult means joining the militia and mastering a weapon. The region used to be a fiefdom granted by the King to the Margrave. A marriage between Margrave Theobald's daughter Meredith Lorinck and Duke Oswald Iyorith had given a stable alliance and military aid in times of need. As such, in the throne war it aids the Dukedom via troops and support. However, during the Winter of 217 C.Y it was conquered by Barbaric Kraal led by the Two-Headed Dragon Gwyrrdaw and her cabal of mages.
