Domain of the Iron Lord

 Instead of having the Chimaeron in Anuire, I have placed instead the domain of the Iron Lord.

The Iron Lord (a Count among nobility) is similar to the Chimaera, but instead of a monster, he is instead an entirely human appearing noble. He is neutral with the dwarves of Baruk-Azhik, though is currently trying to negotiate the use of their lands for his magic. There are whispers he covets the hand of Eluvie Cariele of Coeranys in marriage to forge a more powerful realm; while other whispers suggest he has interest in pacifying the civil-strife of Rohrmarch by force (and permanent residence) to better establish trade with the Khinasi lands beyond.

Rumor says that he is either blood of Azrai or Vorynn; but that whether one or the other his magic is still strong and he is dangerous. Before becoming the lord of the Iron Peaks, he is said to have been a thief, mercenary and adventurer. His apprentices are called "Warlocks" by the populace and they are feared. None know what they truly look like because they all wear magical iron masks with differing faces under deep hoods while their bodies are covered in heavy robes. The known masks are of a Dragon, a Crone, a Goblin, a Kraken, a Skull, and a Wolf. These Warlocks each carry a magical flaming sword and when they have been fought they appeared to wear armor under their robes as well. It is thought they are half-elven or elven because of this fact and that they cast spells. When hard pressed or seemingly defeated they vanish into thin air however with nothing left behind.

County of the Iron Peaks, 551


Domain of the Iron Lord and the capital of Ironspire



The soldiers of the county are reliable and strong. There is a distinct lack of cavalry units within the county because of its low population and lack of nobility in general; such that there are currently no sufficient musters to form a command of knights. The Iron Lord relies upon mercenary cavalry if such forces are needed; though his Realm Magic and standing forces seem sufficient for the defense of his domain. Currently the Iron Lord keeps the following forces under his command:

Barniere: 1 Scouts

Careine: 1 Scouts

Lyssan: 1 Iron Lord's Spellbound, 1 Iron Peaks Archers, 2 Iron Peaks Spearmen

Mhowe: 2 Iron Peaks Archers, 1 Iron Peaks Spearmen, 1 Mercenary Cavalry

Navy (based out of Mhowe): 3 Caravels, 1 Galleon, 2 Coasters, 2 Keelboats
