The County of Calant is covered by the Aelvinnwode but encompasses some hilled areas in the south which are filled with mines of the Boeruine Trading Guild. Calantean workforce consists primarily of woodsmen and miners all in the employ of the archduke’s protégé Arien Borthien. A few farming communities exist, but their produce isn’t enough to provide sufficient foodstuff for all the Calantean population.
Arien Borthien chose the legitimate ruler of this province via some sort of political and economical maneuvering of his own. Count Steele Mhoen (MA; Nbl3; Scion of Brenna, minor, 11) is Arien's brother-in-law and loyal as well. Tall, slender and young, Mhoen's background is more guilder than ruler, and his reputation suffers from the deficencies the nobles observe. Some go so far as to call him a buffoon, though his county coffers are full and he supports vital craftsmen that are neccesary for the military deployed in other counties. Reflecting his guild origins, he always wears flashy clothes which the nobles find a bit odd.
Caer Bhaele Manor: Located deep in the forest, north of the province capital of Caermor, this manor was home to the Bhaele Family for generations before the tragic incident of 499MR. At the very night of the Eve of the Dead, all the family members died in a fire that ravaged their home. The legend says that Lord Roene Bhaele made a pact with a demon to bring more fame and riches to his family and didn’t pay up what the vile creature asked him in exchange. Nowadays, the manor’s stone walls remains standing and some lights coming from it can be seen at night frightening the citizens of Caermor. Stones have marked the perimeter to discourage tresspassing since two adventuring parties sent there have not returned since.
