County of Apples

The County of Apples is so named for its numerous apple orchards.

Government

House Gareth, pretty much since the houses inception has been a vassal house of House Numaness. House Numaness and House Gorisonad are traditional rivals.
The Duchy of Dwyns is a stronghold of Gorisonad's economic power. When the Duchy of Dwyns was established, Numaness did some finangling to get one Gareth county into the mix.
So the Gareth Count deliberately has divided loyalty. He is obligated to serve the Duchess of Dwyns with material aid, while also serving as a mouthpiece and eyes and ears for House Numaness.
