County of Aulaunde

Ruler: Count Axel RundesentSeat: Hamerin pop 2000
Aulaunde is a county in the Empire of Trynser, on the coast of the Trynsern Peninsula along the Intamerack Sea.
Most cash flow into this county comes from the 30 or so miles of Imperial Highway that leads from Trynser City to Flurien. The largest settlement is Hamerin, where the count’s castle is located. The only other settlement of note is Estrind located up north where the highway enters the county from St. Lurien. Two other road stops are along the highway, one between the settlements, and the other to the east. The settlement between the towns is a somewhat disreputable convent. A small scruddy road leads around the peninsula to a few tiny fishing settlements.
Most of the coast is sheer cliff face, shipwrecks are frequent. The tops of the seaside cliffs are wooded with birches supporting a tiny lumber industry adequate for local use. The Imperial Highway is rather roughly cut through the chalky hills.
2 years ago the county had 200 men under arms, but they have since been decimated by Gormann’s invasion. 60 served with the Dominion levy for a three year term; 19 remain today, withdrawing with the Imperial Army from Mondrulavia. 25 have died in service, 8 have come back wounded or damaged, 2 are in prison, 3 were expelled from the service, and 3 deserted.
The local contingent is supposed to be 70 troops under arms, 20 cavalry and 50 infantry. The current numbers are 14 cavalry and 36 infantry. About two dozen serve with the Imperial Navy.
A few wild monsters abound in the woods, but nothing truly dangerous. About a hundred goblinoids scattered from the Battle of Heddenfields lurk up in the hills to the northeast. They are laying low until they get their strength built back up.
