Duchy of Vegalla
The least notable of the largest duchies, Vegalla is found in the center of Elliaster, east of the capital city itself. It historically vied for control of the western lowlands of Belcastel, and at times was successful. Now it has diminished to a shadow of its former self, but it still maintains wealth through its lucrative mines of copper and silver. Its lands are full of lush, pleasant forests where hunters collect pelts and herd Satin Deer. Due to the large metallic content of the land, farming has not been a staple here and Vegallans make their lives doing hard labor in mines.
As such, the people are considered boorish and simple-minded, but make up a quite large number of Elliaster’s foot soldiers. They are known for being royalists which has usually meant they’re hand-in-hand with religious authorities, yet in modern times have shifted to the more secular ideas of Dedrik and Belcastel. However this is hardly a universal sentiment, and the people are not known for their loyalty. In fact, people here will try to make their living in whatever way possible - legal or otherwise. Some Counts took advantage of the chaos during the Ylistre War to seize lands from nobles in Belcastel. Many more other commoners often move to Elliaster to find unsavory employment, and they are looked down upon by other people.
