Loamwold Protectorate of the Steel Realms
Located on Ustermaya .
Before it became a protectorate of the High Kings’, Loamwold was known as The Loamwold Enclave – smaller than the territory it is now. It is also known as Sainaen’s Greatwood in Umbak, named for a queen from its elder days that fell in love with the woodlands and hills – when Umbak claimed sovereignty over it. When dealing over long distances and with other fiefs, organizations, and large institutions, the rulers look to Silver Lining Lenders; This organization is also present for all manner of individual and small business services. They are most famous for the Hoolip Berry found in Maldoolin and the gin they make and export all over the nearby heartlands. The citizens of the protectorate will not interface with or have any dealings using the Sunbelt Merchants. They follow the normal convention for Halfing Names.
This territory is considered Dominion of the High King Lands means the rulers have given the Sworn Oath of High King’s Service to the High King of the Steel Realms. As with all allies of and lands under the Dominion of the High King, this locale is subject to the Realms Levy.
Rulership: Loamwold does not have any formal “fiefs” and does not use peerage titles. When they have to meet with others, they pick form a council of elders and decide among themselves who will speak and affirm oaths and allegiance. This makes diplomatic relations difficult at best, and thankfully their good nature offsets the confusion and disorganization.
Military: They have no formal military. Almost all are trained stalkers, foragers and hunters. Leading them in battle against formal foes are the renowned Freewardens.
