THE LORD REGENT OF VALWYCK

---

 

The Ducal Council of Valwyck serves at the behest of the Duke, or Duchess, to aid in the governance of the lands that the Duchy encompasses. This Council has gone through many variations over the decades, often serving as an informal group of advisors to the patriarch of House Baruch as they administer their lands and set course to traverse the politics of the Haeseni Court. The Lord Regent and Council have decided to expand upon this advising body by formally listing those who are seen as members, and the positions in which they serve.
