The Cullis Marshlands
"I did not stay long in The Cullis Marshlands. There was something in the air that felt like death. The Grey walls of Castle Cullis were a bleak beacon in the thick ooze of pitch and wetland that surrounded it." Erik the Navigator in his book - “From West to East and Back Again’
Structure
The Cullis Marshlands is different to the other political structures of the Empire. It is helmed by a Lord Protector of the Marshes, whose charge is to defend the borderlands with the Elves. There are Thagnes of the Cullis Marshland, who reign semi-autonomously due to the lack of an Earldoman.
History
The Cullis Marshland as its formally known today was established at the end of the second war against the Eladrin Empire, when Castle Cullis was built. It serves as a permanent military protectorate and is the only region of the Empire bar the capital to have a standing military presence at all times. This presence is large the closer you get to the border.
The Cullis Marshlands Contains three main regions: The Marshlands, Linley, Southshield. The Marshlands themselves are directly controlled by the Lord Protector whilst Linley and Southshield have their own Thagnes.
