Duchy of Creneash

The Duchy of Creneash is a small duchy to the north east of the Kordynian Imperial Heartland. The Duchy of Creneash is bordered by the Kordynian County of Pendry to the south east, the Kingdom of Auchinmore directly south, the Republic of Cordolva to the east, and the Serene Republic of Sanrerugia to the north. The current ruler of the Duchy of Creneash is Duke Cormac II. 
77 years before the Kordynians to their south east adopted feudalism, the Crensheans adopted a form of feudalism influenced by the Auchins and the Cordolvans, which had developed separately than the feudalism in the West (both the Western Reach and the Old World). The Crensheans remained in relative peace for most their modern existence, maintaining positive relations with all their neighbors. However, in 118 KOR, their neighbor to the south, the Kingdom of Auchinmore, cut off diplomatic relations with the Duchy, and later that year, invaded. Fearful and untrustworthy of the Auchins, the Duke pleaded to his neighbors for help, and the King of Kordowyn, Alisander II, entered talks with the Duke. Eventually, the Duke agreed to become a subject to the King of Kordowyn in exchange for Kordynian assistance in defeating the Auchins. Less than a year later, the Auchins had been routed and their King was begging for peace, knowing he could not defeat the much larger Kordynian army. After the defeat of the Auchins in 119, Creneash continued in relative peace, mainly focusing on developing their own nation, and remaining out of their overlord's wars. However, after the death of Alisander II, Auchinmore invaded once more, hoping that the death of the King in Kordowyn would destabilize them long enough for them to capture Creneash. However, under Kordynian guidance, the Crensheans had trained a decent standing army, and were able to defend against the Auchins long enough for the Kordynians to arrive, once again swiftly defeating them.
