The Veche Barons
The lands of the Veche Barons are aptly named. In this corner of the continent the nights seem to remain longer, and while the sun does shine to provide light for crops it is often muddled by clouds and mists preventing it from being too blinding. The nights here are also incredibly dark, save for the light of the moon and starlight it is viewed as unnatural. Filled with old mist covered forests, deep unforgiving marshes, and old hills which sometimes hide burial grounds. It is not the most welcoming of landscapes.
It has cast a negative view on the lands as many are of the belief that the Barons who rule this landscape are creatures of darkness...Vampires or some other fiend. Many would be hunters and self righteous adventurers have been made to look fools in trying to prove such.
The people who live in the region tend to be a relatively curious mish mosh of cultures. Often forming from various other groups and ending up in the Baronies looking for fame, fortune, or just to get away from the politics of other lands. Natives tend to develop a somewhat morose sense of humor and by some are seen as a bit creepy. Still they are welcoming to guests and those who need assistance navigating their strange land.
Territories
Barony of Myrton: Ruled by Baroness Gelda Hullstone. Myrton is a coastal barony which contains a large area of swamp which keeps travelers coming not for the welcoming environment. But keeps them coming for the various beasts and creatures which live there.
Barony of Noirmont: Ruled by Baron Hevin Noirmont. A hilly and rough barony, nestled near the mountains. It is perhaps the most welcoming of all of them despite its rough landscape, and stands as the first place most arrive upon entering this region of the world.
Barony of Umbrin: Ruled by Baron Tiv'al Onehorn. This land ruled by a tiefling is perhaps the most stark in comparison to the others. While all of these will eek out some sort of farming, Umbrim possesses the most farming. The most danger also resides in farming here. Whether it be from without or within it often meets a constant need for an armed presence protecting valuable crops.
Barony of Vyrport: Ruled by Baroness Lyra Vyr. This port is on the hinterlands of the baronies. Threats from across the river are the norm, and as such the port is fortified and heavily protected. However it is not just the land the people here must be ready for. It is also the sea which often brings dangers from as well.
