One of the largest and arguably the most powerful of the southern Baronies, it rests at the very center of the South Marches at the end of the Dragon-Tongue River at the Whitestone Lake .
History[]
The Barony was originally founded by the House of Vargus (which named the Barony Kargoth) but was replaced by the House of Krey. The House of Krey was, at one point, simply a Banner to the House of Vargus but once they had learned to tame a pair of black drakes and turn them into mounts, the small house quickly gained status and power within the barony. Before too long the House of Vargus realized that their Banner was gaining more power than they liked and they attempted to destroy the two drakes during a celebration planned to honor their riders. The event, which failed, lead to a baronial civil war with the lines clearly out matching Krey.
Without Magi (which did not exist at this point for the humans) or a significantly equipped cohort of archers or siege artillery, there was no defense against Krey's dragons and, more importantly, their fiery breath.
