Located within the kingdom of Tylsia, the duchy of Forestnight Arch (Forestnight) is under the rule of Duke Sigewulfe Brekvorn. Forestnight encompases many tribes with a wide range of personalities which bring with them an even wider range of intentions, goals and skill sets.
Duke Brekvorn intends to expand the current martial capabilities and resources of Forestnight while also encouraging and furthering the primary and secondary industries, and technological research within the duchy. The geographical location of Forestnight also emphasises its importance in domestic and international trade which in turn will be encouraged.
Forestnight will be ruled by the duke with a Chamber of Nobles beneath him comprised of the counts of Forestnight and himself as the head of the council. In the event of the duke being unavailable Count Shax Demetriou will fulfill the duke’s responsibilities until his return.
Outside of this structure is a Ducal Advisory Council that holds no recognised authority within the duchy and is purely advisory in nature. However, members of the Advisory Council may have responsibilities delegated to them by the duke. The members of this council are selected by the Duke himself regardless of title or station within the duchy.
In regards to how the counties of Forestnight will be run the duke holds the view that counties should be semi-independent and run by their respective count. However, in the event of armed conflict or civil unrest the duke will become more involved in the management of relevant counties until the armed conflict or civil unrest has passed.

The county of Auchanor Barrows will be focusing on furthering technology with relation to alchemy (poisons, weaponry, poultices, etc) and carpentry (architecture and transport). For location, I desire a county seat on the coast, this desire is my only deciding factor when it comes to tribe and biome. The focus of the county seat will be research, while the wider county’s focus will be more general and open to player influence.
Gartmoor as a county will focus on the retrieval and dissemination of information, both strategic and general. It's main trade will be in cartography and exploration over land and sea. Whilst not specialising in a second trade it will have a hand in anything that can be purchased, with coin or other means.
As the capital county of Forestnight, Hartelione will be located in a central position of the duchy and will be aiming to improve and bolster the duchy in all aspects with an emphasis on military strength. Primary and Secondary Industries will also be emphasized as to support surrounding counties and further provide trade opportunities gathers, crafters and traders.
The county of Montivory’s primary focuses are defence and trade. The county is one of the western gateways to the duchy, boasting mountain ranges and a lake, drawing in tourists and vacationers alike.
Oakwater will be aiming to establish the county as a trade hub for the region centered on the county seat of Panoga by facilitating viable primary (such as lumber, clay and food) and secondary industries (carpentry, pottery and textiles) in order to support a range of local products and services.
The primary focus of Trelia is combat with a secondary focus of blacksmithing both armour and weaponry. The focus of Trelia is to provide the duchy with an alternate training ground and garrisons to supplement the one provided by the capital as well as to provide a first line of defence to give the rest of the duchy time to prepare for war.

The Oakwater Trading Company plans to establish trading houses throughout the duchy to provide the public with a venue for trade and commerce, while also facilitating the company’s own business. By doing this we aim to become a prominent trade company within Forestnight before expanding beyond the duchy. As a trading company, we will be taking a general focus, in order to avoid limiting the potential for business for ourselves and our affiliated merchants.
