History
the crown lands use to be the kingdom of verainberg and after The war of Men and the 'Old' races became the largest area in the verianberg empire.
the arrivel of man-
kingdom of verainberg- formed around 4700YBCW it was the a kingdom first ruled over by the von anerian family. the family was named for the joining of a verainbergur king and an elven kings daughter, the kings name was anerian and so the house was born. the early von anerian kings ruled from a ring fortress on which the impieral palace was built on. the ring fort itself was built near an old fortifaction, records suject that it is an old balir watch tower. the kingdom became well developed over time with roads which linked it with the other smaller human nations including the franks. it also connected the kingdom with the elven realms. the nation had a large army for its seize due to the belief of elves conscripting Germincs into a private army for the royal family.
over time the kingdom swallowed up the smaller lands like the duchy of rovenhof and the archduchy of olgenberg. when the kingdom absorbed the archduchy of olgenberg they came into contact with the wession house of hallsberg and the von anerians made them hereditary stewards of the realm. the kingdom itself would expand over time with the law of last lord meaning that all land without heirs would transfer straight to the empire. when the marches were disbanded all the land became part of the lands owned by the hallsbergs. the same when for after The Bloodline war the vampireate of stradland became part of the hallsberg lands. when the empire became centralized the hallsbergers gained virtual control of the entire country. the two main cities of the empire are located in verainberg. the impiral capital the seat of the emperor and reichensdorf the political heart of the empire.
the dawns without the king and the return of king Garon 1st 4300YBCW-4218YBCW- Garon 1st von anerian was made king of verainvberg at the age of 19 in 4300YBCW. the first 2 years of the reign saw peace. his lords were happy. his boarders were safe and his people were well fed and looked after. however the young king was plagued by visions of ruin for his land and people. so one day in the dead of night he saddled a horse and took the von anerian family sword white lion.
he then fled his palace after he left in 4298YBCW the kingdom of verainberg fell to the hands of the steward wilhelm the hunched. wilhelm sent riders all across the real in search for there king but he was no where to bee seen. this almost brought him into conflict wit the elven kings who wilhelm accused of kidnapping there young king.this time without the king was a dark time. in the northern part of Dark elf Empire a massive ork horde was gathering led by the aged and massive mazgor the monstrous who had warred with the veranberg kings since he was a young ork. as a century passed many believed that garon had died but were unwilling to give the crown to someone else. when word came that mazgor had over ran the elven kingdom of danoria and had killed the young elf king. knowing there land was under threat every man of fighting age was called up to fight for the kingdom. one man which joined up was a mercenary called Gar the grim but those around him. he was a handsome and ragged looking man with a brown bread and a top not. when the town of strassi (in the far north of the archduchy of olgenberg) was leveled the royal army moved north to met the invasion. Gar asked erich hallsberg (born 4357YBCW) to take a force into the lands beyond the the arch duchy. he did but it is unknown way. there Gar and his troops found that the ork horde was some 50000 men strong. Gar road back telling the high steward of the realm of what he saw.
the steward and his son didn't want to retreat because it would mean that the orks could destroy there lands. but many of the other lords said it would be best to turn the smaller verainberg army south and defend the walls of there capital. Gar led this party along with Erich hallsbergs youngest son the 18 year old Alfred (born 4218YBCW) . Erich lead his army north to defend his home while the rest of the royal army turned south. the royal army disheartened and out numbered with word of the orks marching south said they would thrown there weapons down. this was when Gar reviled his true name. he was garon 1st. many were dumb struck by this many believed he had died yet he had been able to retain his youthfulness in order to prove it he drew his sword and on the blade it read white lion. one man was about to kneel but garon said he shouldn't until he had something to kneel to.

Garon-100 years ago i left you. my people because i was scared of what i saw in a dream. i left and sculled in the shadows not daring to enter the land of my father and my fathers father. so i ask you not command you. who will follow me in victory and defeat. Alfred- Long live king Garon the great !!!he rose his blade in the air and his army cheered. Garon lead a host of some 8000 men north. this would become one of the greatest battle in verainbergs history. mazgor know to the orks as wyvern rider's scouts found garons host marching north with great speed. mazgor who had a great hatred for the line of von anrieran and was hell bent on crushing it with one massive blow. three days later the two met on a filed where the old olgenberg-verainberg boarder. the ork horde was 50000 strong while garons army was 8000 with 3000 cavalry. mazgor ordered his drouge riders to charge against the shield wall of the verainberg army. the tore into there ranks ad then mazgor charged his army while his riders attacked. garon had chosen his battlefield well. on his left flank he had marsh and on his right a thick forest. however the ork horde tore into his army. garon and Alfred fought his way to the wyrven riding mazgor. Alfred shot the beast in the eye and forced mazgor to dismounts and tried to kill Alfred but garon stepped in and blocked the blow. duel between the two great warriors dueled at the center of the filed. Garon slashed down with white lion cutting the orks right arm off. then the ork using his free hand smashed the kings side in with his war mace cracking his amour. but Garon raised his sword and brought it down across the orks chest. he then rose then used the sword to take the ork warriors head off.when they saw there there leader die the orks broke. it is believe they turned into little clans which were dealt with by the armys of elves. garon retunred to the land of his birth and was crowned once again. king garon 1st and the house of von anerian despite having existed before garons second coronation was given the nickname the line of garon the great. the end of the kingdom and the birth of the empire- after the events of The war of Men and the 'Old' races the area was reformed into the the lands of the crown in the verianberg empire. as well as the personal lands of the former kingdom of verainberg the lands of the crown control duchy of the reich- nicknamed the impieral duchy is the duchy in the lands of the crown direclty controlled by the emperor. it inculdids the county of garonsberg duchy of fredricksberg- created by emperor hugo the old for his yougest son luitpold it was centered on the important city of Fredricksberg. when luitpold died the title passed to his son ferdiand however ferdiand had married a north women Suria Varinsdottir and her three sons where raised in the old ways. despite the relgoius tolrence of the empire, the emperor decreed the boys could not inherit the title and so when ferdiand died the lands was forfit to the crown. the duchy of celentra- created by emepro hugo for his second son Uhtred. it was named celentra after the old elven kingdom which its lands had once been apart of. the large elven population was also happy that its capital was based on the old elven palace. Duchy of rovenhof- a verainberguer duchy of the crownlands it is ruled directly by the royal family as of the death of carla duchess of rovenhof and her son inherited the land and the duchy became part of the hallsberg dominion in the crownlands. It is ruled by a branch of the royal family the von rovendof-hallsbergs but after the death of empress carla rovenhof-hallsberg after the failed birth of emperor charles 4th daughter the duchy fell to her favorite son hugo. history-Rovenhof was created after the war of the old races ad was given to the king of verianbergs sister willamina who married sir albrecht von revenhof. The name was then changed to rovenhof and combined with the hallsberg family name. The duchess capital is the city of albrecthiem with a population of 30000 people. It has a direct train link to the capital and with the arch duchy of olgenberg. The duchy is garrisoned by 2 divisions of the 7th army corp. The one of the 2 imperial artillery academy is situated in rovenhof the other in the imperial capital itself. the duchy is north of the county of zherik and just south of the city of rechinsdorf ruled directly by the emperor. Archduchy of olgenberg- the arch duchy of olgenberg is ruled by archduke Frederick the cousin of Charles 5th. The lands borders lay on the eastern flank of verainberg. Olgenberg is a land of industry with massive underground mines is give the hallsberg massive amounts of wealth and power. the archdukes of olgenberg where made hereditary stewards of the realm by the von anerians and olgenberg supplied troops to most of the wars the empire fought. The archduchy is normally under the rule of a second son of the emperor. The imperial army stations its 1st army corp in the archduchy. The archduke has his own cavalry units the archdukes own cuirassiers a regiment of 1000 cavalry. the earliest olgenberg troops wore Armour a kin to that of the old wession army's this didnt change with the archdukes own curassiers having wession style helmets with face guards in the style of a snarling wyrn. Like rovenhof, olgenberg is very advanced and its capital and many of its smaller towns and cities have a direct link with the imperial capital and the imperial estate. It also has a trainlink with slzki and mortijza. HIstroy- Olgenberg was the home land of house of hallsberg and it quickly became the second most powerful part of the kingdom of verainberg. after The war of Men and the 'Old' races olgenberg grew in size and power and its lords commanded in the war against the heligolanders in the iron war. when the hallsbergs became emperors of the verianberg empire the eldest son of Charles became the next emperor while his second son became archduke of olgenberg. however this would change when Charles passed the rule of first blood based on an old wession law which stated that when a first son had a younger son the younger son my inherit his fathers brother lands in favour of his uncle and would become the new archdukes of olgenberg. during war of the three empires Olgenberg was sworn to Maximilian hallsberg 1st and his the empire of the great lake. like most parts of the empire massive amounts of its fighting men were killed. through the wars with joachim olgenberg became a scared landscape as the frankish invasion routs and the imperial counter attack came through olgenberg. this however allowed it to develop due to the fact it needed to repair. it howeve bread a hatred of szlski people in olgenberg. The margvavate of zentie-betrria- ruled by the most powerful germic family the hizenbergs. During the war of the three empires it was ravaged and its army was almost utterly destroyed with only a few hundred of its fighting men surviving. The margraves are known for their warlike tendencies and many who live there serve in the military affairs office in the imperial capital. One margrave was even head of the imperial police forces. The margravate has a majority verainberguer population with the germics make up only 30% of the population. Yet unlike most places with this proportion the verainberguers make up the working classes and the germnics make up the landowners and the lords. The hizenbergs also have influence in many other places and hold small amounts of land on the border lands in frank with also of little princely states and counties owing allegiance to them. after The war of Men and the 'Old' races the house of von anerian allowed the hizenbergs to be the leaders of the germnic community naming him his Iron Grey war horse and sturdy ally. many germnic look to zentie-betrria as the promised land with the largest germnic city. The margraves main army unit is the 5th division a division of the crownlands army based in it capital. The margrave has his own personal 500 strong margave guards. the margrave was sworn to Maximilian hallsberg 1st during war of the three empires and its levies marched under his banner. however more often than not they were under command of the lords of the county of zherik. during the 18 years war the margavevate lost massive amounts of its men fighting in the war. however in the verinberg empire it was zentie-betrria and it's marshal Germnic lords who pushed military reforms and built up a strong army. During the kaff war the margrave Andrew von hizenberg and his sons joined the ranks of the rebels and he took command of the 5th division and later the 2nd imperial army corp re formed after the disaster at kergon. His eldest son francis commanded the margave guard while his second son gerhard became a member of hugo's general staff. All of these men would die and a minor hallsberg was place as margrave. the margrave is located on the boarder of the duchy of Szlski and south of the county of zherik it the largest germinc state in the empire. The margravate of vola-ekss- a mainly verainberg and germnic province in the crownlands it was ruled by the von manlings (a candidate house of the hallsbergs) it is directly north of the the lorddom of mortjzia and it runs the length of its northern boarder. .Frederick the first naming having named his grand uncle margave manlinf von hallsberg as the first margrave and manlinf (made his own family the manling-hallsbergs) were loyal to the house of petronciv- hallsberg. It is one of the few areas in the crownlands not under the dominion of the hallsbergs or members of their family (as the manling-hallsbergs died out during war of the three empires as all the males died fighting either from Hugo hallsberg 1st or Maximilian 1st. The army unit in the area is the provisional division made up of mortijzan and crownlands units. During medival time the margaves army was hard to control due to the mix of ethnicity and loyalty meaning the lords more offten than not made there army's out of mercenary. At the onset of the kaff hallberg war It's ruler Manfred von Albrcht sore loyalty to prince hugo. But his land was swiftly over ran by his swore lord peter peteronciv. The area isn't well developed and has many divides and this was seen through its history. this is seen where the southern nobles normal took the side of there overlords the house of Petronivic-hallsbergs. the verianberguers would side with the crown along with the Germincs. Just over a third of the population are verainberuger, the next largest minority is germnics, after them was slavs manly on the southern border and on its western border there is a small population of franks. These franks were mostly recruited into the frankish army although after they went back home 10000 of them were then organized into their own regiment. Many defected and went home to support the revolution. The area is also not very well developed with the support of mortijza it has a well developed sense of culture and art. With the death of all the von manling- hallsberg males the land was directly incorporated into the hallsberg personal faithdome much like rovenhof after the events of the war of kaisers. The kingdom of Bron or the crownlands of bron - located in the corridor dividing mortjiza and frontier kingdom the area known as bron is a part of the crownlands and has been since Charles 1st took the throne, it is a proud land with a proud native population. unlike most of the other areas of the empire its history is relatively short. history-After the Frankish armies marched through the elven kingdoms of selrinthia and mogoria (know mortijzia) after destroying the last vestiges of the dark elf empire. There armys linkup with the verianberg and germinc army's march from the north along with slav which were march from the west. The army was inhabited but the high elf kingdom of merniasa which held claim over the dragon crown. The three armies fell upon the area and after 5 years of fighting the last high elf king died at the battle of the silver stone river. The area would then be settled by slavs and verainbeurgs and a king was elected. Yuri De Nab the 1st was made king and swore allegiance Stephan von anrian the first emperor of the verainberg empire. Over the years more and more verainberuges centered and settled in the north of the province like most of the southern slav parts of the empire. During the regin of King Andrei De Nab 1st (born 1832YBCW- 1781YBCWYBCW) bron troops went to fight during Harald and Ivar's first invasion. he and both his sons died in the war leaving the throne to his nephew Garon De nab 1st (born 1792YBCW). during the regin of Uhtred 2nd Garon was shut out of court by the powerful Pasic family who held the duchy of daravia and Anton keroi lord commander of the frontier. the kingdom of Bron was able to expand and held lands out with there own boarders. the house of de Nab was the most powerful slavic nobvle house. it had its roots in frank. Charles De Nab 3rd would destroy that legacy of the great kingdom through his actions with his wife and mistress. his rule saw the beginning of the time know as the rule of 2 kings with Charles ruling the south of the empire as a slavic king and emperor Alreck Von anerian 1st ruling the rest of the empire with the help of the empires ertwhile nemy king eirikr olinberg. after the peace of krakow in 1697YBCW the over powerful Charles who had made a pna slavic allience was on the back foot and in 1694YBCW open war began, two years later charles was dead and his family dead. in 1691YBCW a war of sueccstion broke out The last king was Gregory 1st and his sister who was married to Henry hallsberg archduke of olgenberg (Charles 1st father) became king Henry 1st. in 1302YBCW henery died and his son Charles was crowned king. When Charles became emperor the verainberg in 1300YBCW, the crownlands inherited the kingdom of bron and the kingdom ceased to exist as a semi autonomous area but became part of the crownlands. It was renamed to the crownlands of bron. Over time its population became increasingly verainberg with 40% of its current population claiming verainberg or germinc descent. The imperial crown was formed from the verianberg and bron crowns after Charles was made emperor. The crownlands of bron capital is charlegrad named after their last king Charles 1st. after that bron became one of the personal holdings on the emperoralong with the archduchy of olgenberg. Their army units are recruited into the crownlands army and are there for part of the imperial army. They do however have some of their own regiments. The emperor's own slavk crown guards which protect the emperor during festivals. The charlesgrad hussars. The imperial army garrison is the 8th corp recruited from local slavs and verainbeguers. The army is well developed unlike it neighbors to the east. It was two major rail lines one to the mortijzan capital and one to the imperial capital. It has many road links as well with several of the border roads linking with the twin sultanates. during the the kaff hallberg war as part of the crownlands entered the war on the side of hugo. The area saw harsh fighting between rebel and loyalist forces with the rebel 2nd and frontier armies fighting a two front war with Michael kaffs magaran troops marching from the north east and lord peter 2nd son and the 20 year old jan march with an army from the west while the march north only to be put on the defensive. Charlesgrad was placed under siege over the winter of the first stage of the civil war just before the much larger twin sultanates civil war began. Jans army had 20000 men and 100 guns the charlesgrad garrison of 7000 held out over the winter and the made a breakout attempt in the beginning of spring. Jan succeeded in holding his lines but at a terrible cost. He requested reinforcements but they didn't arrive. Jan decided to save his army he retreated from the siege to the town of colindorf-hutzzner near the border with mortijza. His father was out rage wit his son. - Duchy of daravia (bron)- the duchy of daravia is the largest duchy with in the kingdom of Bron. the duchy was sounded by sir andrew Pasha. he was a Seterchan knight who was taken capitive by elvish forces during The war of Men and the 'Old' races. he was resqued by slav forces under Yuri De nab 1st. Andrew changed his name taking the slavic version of his milliatry title pasha and turned it into Pasic thus starting house pasic. County of zheik- formed after the events of The war of Men and the 'Old' races the youngest son of the emperor Stephan von anrian. the principality would be settlement by Germinc people and it was the first germinc province of the empire to be ruled over by a verianberguer family. the hallsbergs would eventually inter marry into the von anerins of zheik and Herman hallsberg younger brother of Charles hallsberg the head of the imperial household and archduke of olgenberg around became count of zheik after his father in law died around 1700YBCW. his father had given his a sister to marry and so they did and they would have 14 children and that solidify the hold of the hallsbergs on zheik and this created the family know as the hallsbergs of zheirk. the county is on the boarder with the duchy of szlski and is based on the small mountain range. its northern boarder is with the duchy of rovenhof and it southern boarder is with the margravate of zentie-betrria. its eastern boarder is with the verainberg kingdom. Principality of walchindorf- -founding Histroy- Walchindorf is arguably the oldest part of the empire. the principality has its roots in Drakenfell the land of the vampires in the elven empire. about 5 years after the war of the league of starlight a recanik warlord by the name of Vlach took his 5000 people and went west in search of a new home (the young warlord having upset the traditoanl ruling family of the recanik people House dracul) the travels took him west to the kingdom of shade and shadow. the then king a young Conrad Von Dark 2nd and vlach offered his maiden sisters hand in marrige to the young king as well as his 1200 warriors, in exchange for land. Conrad who was in fear of falling to the similar fate as his father and with powerful elven kings on his boarder he needed more warriors. so he granted Vlachs wish. he founded a settlement called vlachdorf. his people then began minging with the local verainbergur population and soon the village turned into a town called walcheindrof. -Histroy within the empire- Vlachs son (who had married king conrads daughter) Manfred von vlach (a name which would mutate into walchak) during The war of Men and the 'Old' races the vampires were forced from there homeland by the verainberg armys. the Provence was then settled by verianberguers. the lord of walchindorf at the time was Hans Walchek 2nd. he and his people rose up against the vampires and in returned where given there former masters lands and given the title of prince. the principality however under the house of von anerian became very powerful through the fact they became a source of great verianberguer soldiers on part with Germincs due to there fighting with vampires who lived in the mountains. during the war of succession the prince of walchindorf went to war with the 17 year old Charles 1st of house of hallsberg. after this the province began to lose power. during the reign of Stephan the mighty the principality sent troops to fight in all his wars. when the empire split the principality became part of Maximilian hallsberg 1st's the empire of the great lake. the war saw the death of the walchek family and Charles 3rd gave the Provence to the Zhembergs a family who had holding in the south of the principality. During the 18 years war the zhembergs were whipped out and when Otto tragfell supported duke Michael the vampires were allowed to go back to there home and otto became Otto von drak. under the von drak vampires became a welcome sight in the verianberg empire as they provided great troops and administrators. this formed vampires in the hallsberg court with vampires even living in the capital city. during Otto's reign was prince of walchidorf minor members of his family married into human family and there children became vampires and so the von draks former a miniature empire. these patchwork of counties was know as the Vampireate of stradland (the capital being the town of stradland) however when otto died his two son Conrad and pieter went to war from there two power bases. the resulting The Bloodline war resulted in Conrad death but the loss of all the lands once held by him. walchindorf was invaded during the war of Joachim le Bonaparte and way massive death rates. the Provence after the war saw massive re building. The winter march- formed when Stephan the mighty gave his 3rd son Charles the fortress of Asbang the winter march or winter frontier guards the northern frontier of the empire from the Wolfkin of the northern badlands. the frontier is home to small villages and the town of asbangscht at the foot of the great elf fortress. after the events of the 18 years war the march was disbanded and the hallsbergs of the marchs were given the lands of the winter march and the hallsbergs's of the march became the hallsbergs of the winter march with there seat at asbang. the area see small incursions from the wolfkin and ranging parties of hunters and local troops go across the boarder and attack isolated wolfkin troops. the area's military stood still during the grand military revolution. the hallsbergs of the march instead asked there kin for a garrison and laws allowing the locals to be allowed to keep arms and in extension there hunter tradition. the verainberguer population of the area are a kin to the wolfkin they fight. in the far north there is even a group of 1000 people calling themselves clan Rumel. they came into life shortly after the end of war of the three empires when Charles pursued a campaign in the badlands with a core of troops from the area. but it back fired but as a reward the men who had taken wives in the badlands were allowed a patch of lands and were allowed to live on it as a group but under the the lords of Asbang. the local garrison is made up of 120 hussars nicknamed the the white wolves (due to there shit and blue trim uniforms) and 600 skirmishers located in the asbangscht barracks. this garrison is supplemented by the winter wolves and by local hunters. duchy of caltonberg- Caltonberg was settled by germinc during the great migration and the early state's capital was centered on the Calton stream and Caltonberg was formed. i is on the western coast of the great lake. and in land mass is the largest germinc duchy but is population is mixed between germnic and verainberguers. they were quickly added to the lands of the verainberg kings. the Duchy became a hub for recruiting hard germinic troops for both the king and the elves. they provided a strong corp of troops for the The war of Men and the 'Old' races and became a minor part of the empire. it became part of the empire of the great lake but quickly switched sides to Hugo hallsberg 1st's the empire on the Roon. however they failed to join for Charles and the ruling family was replaced with a important family from another part of the empire. the duchy and its rulers were very ambitious and frequently looked to become a part of the center stage. on many occasions they tried but they failed to entire the imperial family. they constantly failed to do this. the 18 years war wasbad for the duchy's man power pool as a large amount of men died in serve to the emperor. after the war the duchy was in open rebellion when the province's taxes were raised. this was suppressed by [Duke Michael Rastov germnic enforcers. during the war of joachim le bonaprte the duchy was forced to send men to fight for the imperial army and many of its men were killed. however when joachims grandson was became emperor of frank he promised the duke of caltonberg the title of king if he helped him. asmanger archipelago- a small clump of islands due west of the duchy of heligoland and its capital of Hells-landing. the asmanger archipelago is the seat of House of Morwentar. they like the hallsberg came from the silver kingdom. however unlike the hallsbergs they where not wession. they along with 10000 others where made up of a ethic group called the revari (people of the river) they had brass colored eyes and blue hair. they travels north and with the help of elves inhabited the asmganger archipelago setting up a kingdom of there own. they soon became a naval power to rival that of the sea elf kings of the north. there fleets was used by the elven kings to fight the enemies. during The war of Men and the 'Old' races king Enrik 4th lead a fleet of some 100 ships (if the stories can be belived) and indavisuly destroyed every northern sea elf fleet however was unable to prevent the ships escaping the Continent to reach the northern isle. the slaves sent back however where taking by his son Vanaris 1st (know as the kraken feeder). when the war ended 1970YBCW vanaris swore loyalty to the verainberg emperor and his lands became part of the empire. he however never gave up his title of king. and at the age of 46 vanaris began raiding along the coast and landig small armies on the coast. he even took the city of hells-landing. the war know was the morwentar-hallsberg war saw a 3 year war which ended in the death of the last morwentar king and vanaris son alnor became the first duke of the house of morwentar. the northern isle kingdomthe iron wardynastymarriedinfluencedthe northern isle kingdom. after the 18 years war the duchy became land owned directly by the hallsbergs. desipte the fact that it was a duchy the dukes of heilgoland had power closer to that of a king and was why they where able to exert there influence over nobles with similar ranks as them which inculdied the landgraves of Skjold who often reffered to themselves as the grand jarls of Skjold. -Lordship of jarlsson (in the duchy of heligoland)- -landgravite of County of ulrickgard (northern marches)- County of nightstone (northern marches)- county of Pentzberg- county of writn- Stradland- Duchy of Derkhoff- formed in 1699YBCW the first duke of Derkhoff was

grew to become the most important part of the western marches with its dominion expanding north and to the coast line and holds a very large sverkan population. it was rulled by the reginherussons of derkhoff -Jarldom of derkhoff- once part of the old kingdom of verainberg made after the events of Harald and Ivar's first invasion. it had been the seat of house Rauffenberg it was taken over and they resettled by house vuilf. after fleeing his home after the slaughter at hellsanding. Guthrum reginherusson fought to get his home back -Jarldom of Rookstone- once being the seat of reginherus ruriksson the jarldom became part of the empire when its ruler jarl Harkin Reginherusson swore fialty to the empire after the events of Battle of the two kings Duchy of Zherbegin- -county of elyandan'er- -Margravaite of Reganlinden- Duchy of saxe- -Margraviate of Guelderland- -County of saxerhausen- Barony of Reffin- Barony of Denzel- Lordship of merin- County of Zern- County of Coren- Lordship of Zorfeld- Lordship of Ranzenberg- County Garonsberg- a county held traditionally by the impieral family Garonsberg The Ulich cantons- situated in the Toran Mountians north of The frontier kingdom the cantons united during the weak regin of Maxamilian in the fault out of the undead war. it was formced from 12 cantons. its capital was based at the city of Lenzberg -canton of ulich- -canton of bern- canton of Lenzberg-

Legislative Body
the reichendorf diet is founded 1000YBCW but emperor Franz karl 1st is the pan imperial diet but hold the most power in the crownlands. every member of every house has a set on the diets council from the emperor himself to the small count with only a castle to his name. hear the diet passes laws given by themselves or the peasents (however there are not many laws ever given as suggested by the local population) the laws are debated over several days and then the emperor makes a final judgment. he agree with it then it is put to a vote and then the law is passed. the emperor can simple say no and the law will not go to a vote.
the imperial high council formed a year after the great crisis is a body made up of elected party (many of the more conservative one being made up of lord and princes from the riechensdorf diet). however this Parliament has slightly more power. this is through the fact that if the emperor is not able to rule and a regent isn't appointed like in the case of Emperor Charles 5th the high council gains governance over the realm. however the emperor can only appoint members and while all the other members have been taken the seat of high treasure of the empire sits firmly with the emperor.
