Barony of Trebachas
History
The barony of Trebachas is known for the violence that plagues what would otherwise be a quiet, rural piece of the isle. The lands were the last of those conquered by the Barcas after their arrival on the isle in 30AD, and tribes of Fen March continued fighting even after the war for control had ended.
Geography
Trebachas claims the entirety of the west coast of the Isle of Guardians. It is bordered on the north, west, and south by the Sea of Veils, and shares part of its eastern boundary with the other four Guardian baronies.
Winds typically blow from the west, bringing in rain that is largely denied the rest of the isle by virtue of the tall mountains that sit just past the eastern border. It is for this reason that Trebachas is the most arable land in Guardians, although the encroachment of salt water and rocky soil keeps the barony from being able to produce enough food to sustain its growing population.
The northern part of the barony is defined by rocky hills, as is the eastern border as they butt against the mountains of Smithfield and Dun Artan. As one travels south, the land becomes more flat and increasingly damp. The southern half of the barony is largely dominated by marshes and swamps.
Politics
The barony of Trebachas is divided into four lordships: Tel Girade, Trickling Dart, Fen March, and Whispering Reeds.
Due to the nature of the volatile relationship between the tribal and non-tribal populations in Trebachas, non-tribal nobility is married to a tribal leader at the lordship level in order to ease maintaining stability. Even Trickling Dart, which no longer has a resident tribe, is inclined to bow its head to the practice. For the other lordships, there is no option.
One of the last Conway strongholds on the isle, the baronial leadership still maintains a cordial relationship with the Barcan duke. This is largely due to the efforts of Baron Trahearn Conway, and now his sister, Wilhelmina Conway.
Economy
While the major cities and towns of Trebachas still rely on currency, bartering is a more common practice in the rural countryside.
The most notable exports from the lordships are: olives from Tel Girade, leather goods from Trickling Dart (especially war saddles), baskets from Fen March, and luxury birds for feasting and hunting both from Whispering Reeds.
