Calcassonne

== Geography ==
Wedged in the center of the County near several natural barriers, Calcassonne is home to the headquarters of the Silver Legion chapter of The Holy Templar of Alenthyl. It features a great deal of grassland, along with several rivers, that run from Mon Michel out into Goldensea as well as a lake near the northeastern border. 
The land has proven ideal for the breeding and training of horses and by extension, calvary. The vast majority of cavalry units within the Alenthylian military are either from, or trained in Calcassonne. As the soil quality is relatively good, Calcassonne also produces champagne and the more expensive varieties of Antonellan wine. Most of Calcassonne’s agricultural production is dedicated to livestock, primarily cattle and poultry, although it does feature several large orchards.
== People ==
The people of Calcassonne are fiercely patriotic of their homeland.  There is an old joke stating that in the county of Calcassonne, birth rate and recruitment rate are synonymous.  It is estimated that nearly one in three citizens of the county will do some sort of military service within their lifetime, and any (particularly male) members of the gentry are practically shunned if they haven’t completed at least one tour of duty.
Otherwise, most individuals from Calcassonne are fiercely determined and ambitious, often rising from common grunts or lowly officers to positions of power and prestige within the Alenthylian military.   
== Ruling Family ==
House Redgard is famous for its fanatic devotion to the Holy Light, and its great contributions towards the Silver Legion. One of the few major houses that predates the Saint King, House Redgard was quick to rebel against the Kingdom of Antonelle, becoming the first major Antonellan house to convert to the Holy Light and pledge their fealty to Saint King Alen. 
With them came around a third of Antonelle’s military might, ensuring that the Saint King would meet little resistance as they began their invasion. In exchange for their loyalty, Saint King Alen bestowed House Redgard the county of Calcassonne, which they have proudly continued to rule to the present day.
