Fiefs of Wayrest Brainstorm

Post » Mon Oct 29, 2012 5:31 pm

I'm a poster of site lore for a roleplaying forum, and I've been fleshing out High Rock, starting with the Kingdom of Wayrest. Given the events of the Warp, I projected a High Rock that is currently angling towards domination by a few of the kingdoms, with two already out of commission. I believe I am following the precedent suggested in post-Warp lore about the various Kingdoms (including ones unaffected, such as Shornhelm). Long story short, after the Great War, and with the collapse of considerable power in Sentinel, the High Rock kingdoms ran rampant and began absorbing minor fiefdoms.

In any case, I produced a map of what my Wayrest in the 4th Era looks like. I also made an estimate on how many fiefdoms would be in it, ballparking it based on the size of fiefs in Daggerfall's map of the Iliac Bay. There are 72 fiefs (roughly) in Wayrest.

We've got our fair share of CHIMsters and whatnot on the site, but I really want to pick the brains of the lore forums, and after that egg thread of months past, I really think it could work out well. I don't need big long histories or elaborate monkeytruths (after all, High Rock is a "seen one village, seen 'em all" kind of province), I just need blurbs. Here's a format. Deities can include any High Rock deity, but I've got it that there is remarkably little Stendarr worship in Wayrest.

Here's an example, and a use of the format.
Name: The Viscounty of Pliescetty
Capital: Schetta Estates
Patron Deity: Zenithar
Notable Features: Prosperous farmlands sprawl across its low but hilly terrain; the capital city hosts yearly competitions where pastry chefs and bakers may vie for the title "best bread in High Rock".

Might I humbly request the lore forums' help in filling out the rest of the fiefs? Resources to take note of are Etiquette with Rulers and the Pocket Guides. Thanks for hearing me! Feel free to be tongue-in-cheek and humorous.

Edit: Oh, and if this is in the wrong place, apologies. Just wanted the good ears.
Edit 2: Here's the ones we've already finished!
The Fiefdom of Eivemeyre
The March of Jolvanneshold
The Viscounty of Pliescetty
The Duchy of Casimorth
The Fiefdom of Deceydon
The Barony of Cedressen
The County of Ocaulle
The Viscounty of Lilascen
The Barony of Parenna
The Fiefdom of Balimarc
