==History==
On August 3, 623 K.C. by order of King Varian Wrynn via the Stormwind House of Nobles the two land-holdings of Eastvale and Faulkenburg were officially merged in recognition of the efforts of then ruler of the lands; Count Erich Gottfried Manstein. Manstein, a well respected and well known elder statesman, churchmen, and judge was the joint lord of Eastvale and the then ruined Faulkenburg.
Having gained noteriety in Stormwind through a myriad of avenues; including varuious governmental positions, legal treastises, and public service to the Church of the Holy Light, the Lord Manstein was elected by a group of paladins to serve as the leader of an organization known as the Congregation of the Silver Hand. As leader of the Congregation Manstein lead two highly successful campaigns against the forces of the Horde in a Quest for Turalyon that also resulted in an Invasion of Tirisfal & Quel'Thalas. Although the Lord Manstein would ultimately meet his final fate in the last leg of his Rescue of Turalyon, before the Lord's departure his efforts in the campaign, rebuilding of Faulkenburg at great personal expense, and his life long service to the crown, were recognized and rewarded by elevating his lands to ducal authority, thus styling him the "Duke of Eastburg."
Less than one month after his elevation the Lord Manstein was slain in battle, leaving his young new duchy in the hands of his heir, the second son of the scion of the House of Manstein, Arminius Manstein; former soldier and avowed hermit.
