Duchy of Korduran

Allegiance: Empire of Trynser
Capital: Korduran
Ruler: Duke Krasmus Twinblade
Population: Roughly 2 million
This sprawling duchy in the heart of the Trynsern Peninsula is the garden feeding the various large cities of the peninsula with quickly perishable foods like vegetables and fruits. In particular, the region is known for growing lettuce, cabbage, carrots, onions, garlic, cucumber, peas, lentils, asparagus, artichokes, cherries, apples, several types of berries, and to the south, several orchards of peaches. Beans and grains grow well here too, but since that ships better, there is more demand for vegetables. Recently corn and tomatoes have been introduced from distant lands and are grown enthusiastically.
The duchy suffered greatly during the invasion of Gormann's Horde. The capital city of Korduran fell to the invaders after a long siege and a lot of fighting around the duchy. The capital city was wrecked and pillaged and a whole season of crops has been demolished leading to fruits and vegetables being at a premium in the region. Fortunately, there was enough grain and meat to keep people fed. The local farmers are now back at work and rebuilding Korduran has been the first priority of the Empire.
Korduran is disagreeable with the Duchy of Mantius to its east. The two duchies had for many years vied for influence among the smaller dominions in the central Trynsern Peninsula. Armed clashes are not unknown. Previously, the rulers of Trynser allowed them to skirmish as long as they kept the fights to the fields and trade wasn't interfered with. However, the latest Emperor Artemius VII made it a policy to strictly oppose any fighting. The invasion stirred things up, with neighboring dominions losing their rulers, and the Korduranians resenting the Mantians remaining holed up in their city while they were getting devastated. And Artemius is no longer able to keep the peace, though the war in Zazimar is a more pressing problem and focus for agressive energy.
