County Of Adria

[3andD 1722]

County of Adria

“Gold in the mountains.”

The Adrani Realm

 

 

Formed from the sovereign Baronies of Montfort and Woldzmir, the County of Adria represents a shining jewel of stability, tradition, and culture in the chaos that is the modern age. The Barony of Woldzmir and its lords of the House Vladov provide military protection and order, while the Barony of Montfort and its lords of the House de Montfort provide food and the vital services of trade and craftswork.

 

 

The Comital Council

 

The Barons of Adria rule side by side, making decisions together for the well-being of the county and the realm to ensure that both Baronies are well represented. If one falls ill, the other takes temporary charge until a new co-ruler from the affected house can be named. In this way, the tyranny of kings, the inaction of a monarch, and the insensitivity of a distant ruler are avoided while maintaining a strong executive leadership. The present Barons are:

 

Baron Paul de Montfort ((AiiM))

&

Baron Franz Vladovic((Fireheart519))

 

 

 

The Houses
