Kingdom of Wallen
This is a large feudal kingdom consisting of some 32 baronies. The Kingdom reaches into the Great North Wood at it most northerly extent, but it writ does not reach all the way to the northern Ocean. Its eastern boundary is marked by several independent border states that separate it from the Kingdom of Karmis. The Kingdom of Merras sits along the northwestern boundary of the Kingdom and Zareb sits to its south.
The Kingdom is ruled by King Torrand kar Gilles. The King’s power is mainly based on the large central Barony of Gilles which his family has ruled for five centuries. Torrand has a large family and works to keep his position secure by marrying his numerous sons and daughter into the households of other Barons.
Much of Wallen consists of rich farm lands worked by an overtaxed and generally downtrodden peasantry.
