“You laugh now, but my name shall be legend.”
- Arpad Ivanovich before the Duma of Haense -
The lands of Styria are a vast wooded area littered with mounds and knolls of rocks and earth. Founded by the late Arpad of Ivanovich, the margraviate was a small title, claiming the castles of Vilacz and Radom, along with the manor of the Churchills. The margrave boasted well in commerce and war as it supported the crown with a substantial levy, along with a large sum of coinage. However, with the passing of Arpad, the margraviate fell into a state of stagnation and rapid decay. The Churchills hid from the empire, whilst the strelts of Radom all but vanished. Vilacz was all that remained of the former margraviate, as its border were encroached upon by outside entities forming small hamlets. In recent times, Konyves of the house of Ivanovich has brought about an age of renewal to the region, staving off marauders and lawless brigands. Fighting unruly vassals of the Empire and securing it’s most northern border from the other races. It is now with the margrave’s borders nearly secure that it looks to renew its infrastructure and raise about new vassals of the ever-expanding Empire of Man.

Notable Locations
Castle Vilacz
Located on the upper echelons of the Baltas river stands a mighty bulwark of stone. Appearing similar to the town across from it in design, through having slight variations in its stone-work. This is the seat of the House of Ivanovich and the capital of Styria.
...
Castle Jakova
Constructed in a single saint’s day, this castle is small in stature and rests at the begging of a slope that leads to the higher plains of the Styria heartland. It is the northern fort of Styria and for the Empire as a whole. This is the seat of the landed knight Gnaeus Domitius.
...
Ostrog Ivanovyy
The southernmost border of Styria, in the past it served as a fort against the Reiver menace that plagued the heartlands of Renatus before it’s imperial ascendancy. The tower now houses the Master of the Ostrog, Bogdan Barrow.
...
Castle Arnheim
Arnheim has seen many masters and occupants throughout its life on the Baltas. It has been a safeguard for the river-crossing into the Styrian south, and remains a bulwark of a trade outpost. Recently this hold has fallen back into the Rovin’s hand under Hans of the house Rovin.
