Forthyn

Forthyn marks the furthest north boundary of Terrinoth,
stretching from the Broken Crags to the Blind Muir Forest.
The people of this barony are hardy folk, toughened by the
harsh northern winters. The Free City of Frostgate falls within
the bounds of Forthyn, which leads to some tension. The barony
can’t officially issue commands to Frostgate and its fiercely
independent ruling council, but the Free City relies on the
barony’s goodwill for its imports, both in trade with the barony
and traders traveling through its lands.
From her home at Highmont, Baroness Adelynn personally
oversees the raising and training of Forthyn’s famed rocs, as
her lineage has done for centuries. The rocs are massive eagles,
domesticated long ago and bred for use as war mounts. Adelynn
provides these trained rocs to certain other baronies in
accordance with longstanding traditions and alliances. Great
artificial eyries in the mountains are home to expert breeders
and trainers, who have themselves adjusted to the thin, cold
mountain air and perfected their arts over many generations.
