Kingdom of Duskmarrow

Cinderfast • 3 counties

The Ashen Crown guards relic vaults, succession keeps, and the central ashfields that shape Duskmarrow politics.

Gravenfall Hold • 3 counties

Gravenfall holds the battle-scarred marches where dragon gravefields, old watchfires, and hard frontier justice still define rank.

Cinderfield Bastion • Ash plains and scorched roads

Cinderfield watches the ash roads running into Duskmarrow's crown keeps and controls who may move relic cargo through the center.

Emberscar Keep • Burned ridges and charcoal pits

Emberscar grew around burnt siege lines and now supplies iron, charcoal, and veteran retainers to the central crownlands.

Wakewatch Spire • Charred lowlands and grave roads

Blackwake is feared for its night patrols, burial law, and the closed roads that skirt old dragon graves.

Barrowmarch Gate • Burial mounds and wind-cut heath

Gravebarrow sits over layered battle mounds and uses strict escort law for any expedition entering the old dead fields.

Ravenmarch Hold • Broken highlands and beacon lines

Ravenmarch protects the duchy's upland signal towers and serves as a relay zone for frontier warbands.

Ashfall Watch • Hazard ridge and slag valleys

Ashfall borders the ridge hazards directly and enforces some of the hardest travel law in the realm.

Relic seizure, burial law, curfew authority, and frontier escort control

Iron, charcoal, salvage rights, battle-relic custody, and veteran households

Arid/Blighted

Flat, ash-black plains surrounding ancient dragon battlefield sites. Relic radiation distorts plant growth and magnetizes metal.

Cold/Alpine

High stone ridges above the ashfields. Thin air, exposed rock faces, and heavily territorial drake populations.

Hazard frontier

A ridge of blackened stone overlooking old dragon battlefields and drake nesting corridors.
