County of Blagenz

Ruler: Currently vacant, administered by the Empire.Seat: Elmfast population normally 2100, currently unknown
Blagenz was ravaged by outriders of Gormann’s Horde, all the settlements other than Elmfast were put to the torch and many residents slaughtered. Elmfast itself was made into a headquarters for a wind of Gormann's army, though the residents still suffered greviously. The county was ruled by the Narlack family. Those of the family who did not die in battle were butchered after the conquest of Elmfast. One daughter, Elenair, was taken by the barbarians and subjected to much abuse. She has since been rescued, but is too young and in too poor condition to resume the family’s house.
In contrast to the lush lands of Korduran directly to the south, Blagenz is rather poor country, not very suitable for growing. Instead, the land was largely used for raising sheep and goats, and a bit of tin mining. Today, much of the land remains deserted and desolate after the invasion. Rumors abound of wandering bands of Bortan barbarians and humanoids in the area.
One thing Blagenz was able to boast was a series of hot springs that have been popular among travelers going from Tainfagel to Coublint. They have had a reputation for healing and refreshment for centuries, and nobles from as far away as Trynser City have traveled here to partake of them. 
Historically, the county has been used to dispose of lords and ladies who have proven too troublesome around the palace. Such was the case with the Narlack family’s ancestor Lord Nestin who was the unsuccessful romantic rival with then Crown Prince Valen for Lady Angelica Lorenti about 70 years ago.
