Craglorn

Craglorn is the second largest duchy of the Realm, behind only the capital duchy far to the south. As the northernmost duchy, it has a harsh climate with snow and ice common in the winter months of the years in the most northern areas and still bitterly cold weather even in the midland areas. The western half of Craglorn is bordered to the west by the Sundering Sea, the Stoneshield Mountains to the North and the duchy of Thelland to the south. It also houses Norfort, the Capital City of Craglorn where Thane Bjorn Gundyr rules over the territory. Many of those who dwell in the northern most settlements such as Frostmere and Winterhold make their living as blacksmiths or miners, harvesting the rich veins of ore located in the Stoneshield Mountains and then working them in to sturdy tools, reliable weapons and all manner of other equipment. Growing crops is almost impossible in the Frost Planes, though a small number of hardier grains can survive the colder summers. Farmers tend herds of hardy oxen for meat and make use of the furs in clothing and leatherwork.

Notable Locations in Western Craglorn The eastern half of Craglorn is bordered by the Stoneshield Mountains along it's northern and eastern edges and the Duchy of Aragon to the South. Like much of the rest of the Duchy, the northern most towns and villages mine ore from the stoneshield mountains and grow what limited crops they can, while the villages in the warmer southern parts of the Duchy grow most of the food on which the Duchy relies. On the east border, a garrison keep watch over the north pass between the Realm and the Wildling Plains. The pass provides a more easily defended position and the great Northwatch Keep which sits astride it provides a formidable barrier to those seeking to invade.
