Settlement of the Barrowlands
Before the Kingdom of the Barrowlands was established it was a fledgeling fiefdom established after the Barrowlander Expedition of 108 SA. The expedition itself consisted of primarily of Harren’hil Adunians and Ex-Orenian subjects set out from the Duchy of Minitz with the intent of claiming and cleansing the region in the name of Canonism. The expedition established the fortified town of Barrowton in the heart of the Barrowland region and placed Uther Pendraic as Lord of the Barrowlands.

Geography
Almaris
The Kingdom of the Barrowlands is located in central Almaris. The region, while fertile, is cold, wet, and haunted, on account of the countless graves and cairns that seem to dot the landscape therein. While it rarely snows during the winter months the rain is dangerously cold and the wind sweeping down from the hills above make traversing the region a risky notion for the ill-equipped. The Kingdom is bordered by Haense to the east, Sedan to the south, and Norland to the north across Lake Hakon.

Barrowguard
The Barrowguard is the local guard force and household-guard of the Royal House of Pendraic, headed by the Captain of the Guard, Ser Garen. Their preferred armor of choice is chainmail, since full plate is too heavy to use in the soggy wetlands of the Barrowlands.
