Duchy of Crows-an-Wra

The Duchy of Crows-an-Wra is a semi-constitutional monarchy to the north of the Imperial Heartland. The current Duke of Crows-an-Wra is Duke Konan II.
== History ==
The Duchy of Crows-an-Wra was established in 52 BKOR shortly after its southern neighbor, the Duchy of Carnyorth. The Duchy's interesting name translates to the 'Duchy of the Witch's Cross', which stems from a local legend regarding a dark witch who was crucified on a stone cross. A stone cross stands on the outskirts of the Duchy's capital of Camborne, and according to the same legend is where the witch was crucified. 
Crows-an-Wra was ruled in personal union with Carnyorth from 12 BKOR until 199 KOR as part of the Kingdom of Mawnan, which had fallen to the Empire of Kordowyn in 150 KOR. However, Mawnan would be split in 199 KOR, as Crows-an-Wra followed strict salic law, which prevented the late Duke Casworon II's only child Rosenwyn from inheriting the full Kingdom, with her uncle Konan becoming Duke Konan I in the north. Due to strange laws regarding what was and wasn't considered to be vassalage of the Empire of Kordowyn, when the Kingdom split in 199 only Carnyorth remained subject while Crows-an-Wra was left fully independent. Kordowyn never re-conquered Crows-an-Wra, viewing it as strategically unimportant.
