The Realm of Warminster

Stretching its vast military might across the far northwestern expanses of the realm, Warminster dominates the landscape for leagues in every direction. Its western border meets the rocky coastline of the Firth of Fury, buffered to the south by the knolls of the Fox Shales and the northernmost reaches of Ravenwood. To the east, the plush Colmar valley extends into Foghaven Vale, eventually giving way to the rolling crowns of the Thorncrest Hills. To the North, Warminster borders the dangerous Dragon’s Breath Mountains, whose misty peaks remain shrouded in a mysterious and perpetual grey fog.

The Kingdom of Warminster takes its name from the great sorcerer Warminster who, in his own time, became one of the realms most revered (and often feared) sons. During his lifetime, Warminster was still just a cluster of fledgling human settlements constantly involving themselves in territorial disputes among rival factions. Warminster helped forge a lasting alliance between the rival baronies, and eventually oversaw their unification, culminating with the coronation of King Magnas Thorhauer.

House Faircloth

House Faircloth

One the founding families of Castleshire, the Faircloth family is known as the realm's best horse breeders. Their sprawling walled campus in the heart of the capital city appears more like a ranch than a palace or castle.
House Faircloth, originally from the Sylvan Valley, belongs as much to Castleshire and the shirian tradition than any noble family can claim. Jaxtyn Faircloth, the youngest member of the Faircloth lineage, has taken his rightful seat on Castleshire's Regent Court, known as the Caveat.

Castleshire

Known as the "Jewel of the South," the capital city of the realm is home to prominent castles, elegant palaces, ivy-covered mansions and spiraling towers. Filled with gorgeous and ancient architecture, Castleshire's citizens consist of powerful nobility, landed gentry, wealthy merchants and retired adventurers from across the realm. Steepled churches and awe-inspiring palaces can be seen around every turn and every street corner, each more beautiful than the last.
Without question one of the Warminster's most beautiful and scenic regions, Castleshire rests in the center of the southern reaches of the realm. Extending as far east as the Emerald Dales and as far west as Sylvan Valley, Castleshire's rolling glens and pristine forests charm visitors and locals alike with dazzling displays of spring blossoms, summer flowers and autumn brilliance. Pastoral villages and scattered farms sprawl across the fertile valleys.
