Barony of Botkinburg
The Barony of Botkinburg has the Capital of Botkinburg, and three villages: SIDLER'S BOTTOM, KELLER'S RIFT, and SANDY POINT. The total area is small consisting of just the strip of land about 5 miles on the North bank and 10 miles on the South bank. It extends about 10 miles on either side of Botkinburg: approximately 300 sq miles.
It has a great wealth of fish in the stretch of the @Hruesen River that it controls. And salted fish is its major trade good. Outside of that it has sufficient growing power to have sufficient other foods to go with the fish. As the gold fever has subsided in Ludensheim a flow of treasure hunters have given up on the gold fields and come downstream to find that fishing is more sustaining than panning for gold. Still hope springs eternal, and occasionally one of the fishers will find a few flakes or even a nugget as they go about their work.
