The Barony of Dùnrath, also known simply as Dùnrath (Common: Dunrae (/dʌn.ˈre/)) is an absolute hereditary monarchical barony made up of primarily Humans and the home of Agnethe people. It is situated by Loch Fiag , on the south coast of Rænrland (Agnethe: Ranadh a deas), bordering the Hamlet of Alba in the Holy Orenian Empire, and has a population of approximately 4,000 in the city proper. It is the largest city in the Rænrland and third-largest city in the Kingdom of Norland.
Dùnrath was founded as a fortified, primarily Agnethe, trading post, by the Clan Chief of the United Clans of Barr and Suther, Daibhidh MacFhilib Sutharlainn. It was initially planned for farms and barns for the Sutherland Corporation, but the Clan Chief decided to turn it into a settlement where it would be able to host the population living in the area. The Baron also attracted significant numbers of his Sutican and Urguanian allies to populate the Baron.The Port of Dùnrath is now the largest port in the Rænrland.
Dùnrath is also the home to many scholars, as the city includes the Cèilidh Hall and the Tavern Library. There are scholars' meetings every once in a while and also acts as the centre of Arts, Music and Literature of the area.
Name
The city was named Dùnrath in the start of the city’s building and simultaneously given the Common name Dunrae. The Agnethe name was given after the wish of good fortune for the people, as Rath means good fortune in the Agnethe Language. The english variation of Rae is a phonetic variation for the pronunciation in Rath.
Both the Agnethe and Common names were in use before SA 43. But a popular vote suggested that the endonym of Dùnrath should be the principal way of which the city should call itself.
History
The Barony of Dùnrath was formerly a piece of uninhabited land owned by the Kingdom of Norland. It was claimed by the Kingdom of Norland on the event known as the Rænrland Expansion. During year 42 of the Second Age, the chairman of the Sutherland Corporation Daibhidh MacFhilib Sutharlainn, at the time one of the major merchants in Morantìr (also known as Nyrheim or Almaris) attempted and successfully buy out a plot of land located in Southern Rænrland from the King Vane Freysson of Norland as a business venture. However, because of the size and the optimum climate of the plot of land, the chairman decided to transform the plot of land from a business venture into a settlement where people from all over Morantìr can move in and stay. The cultivation of the virgin land started from Year 43 of the second age, of which a lot of settlers from all over the continent settle down into the city and lots of basic infrastructures were built. The settlement was officially recognised and open to the public from Year 45. From the start of Year 45, several government departments were set up to service the increasing population. However, as at Year 49, there was no arm forced set up so far and the social security of Dùnrath was supported by the Northguard and the Norlandic Government.
