Florham

== Geography ==
Located in the dead center of Centrafeld, Florham is one of the major trading hubs of Alenthyl.  Most food, timber, and ore comes through Centrafeld to be processed and sent across the country, or to Lordharbor to be exported overseas. The county is mostly meadow, although there are a few forest lands to provide raw building materials to expand upon the many towns that dot the landscape.
There are two primary cities within Florham, Beckendale, located to the east and Rosturk to the west. Beckendale is an industrial powerhouse, refining the raw materials harvested from Eastcliffe and the Crags into metal, mortar, and brick and producing much of the arms and armor employed by Alenthyl’s military. It also serves as the dutchy’s capital.  Rosturk, on the other hand is primarily used for tanning, soap making, and the bulk of the dutchy’s textile production.
Lastly, there are the ruins of the great city of Florham, for which the county was named lie in the dead center of Florham. Originally the seat of Saint Florian, the First Pontiff and patron saint of education and theology, Florham was razed following a dispute between the Pontificate and the Crown. It remains a holy site, and is a frequent destination of pilgrimage to members of the faith.
== People ==
Individuals within Florham tend to be shrewd, opportunistic, and enterprising as well as hardworking, loyal and optimistic.  They make much of their living off hard work and dedication, although they will always attempt to get the best deal.  There’s very much an air of if one works hard enough, save money and abstain from reckless behavior that the Light’s providence will allow them to succeed in life.
== Ruling Family ==
Florham is the seat of power of Centrafeld, and is thus ruled over by House Fortelde, who rose to power twenty five years ago and are poised to be the longest reigning dukes of Centrafeld since House Lasdun, who famously held on to the title for an entire thirty years.  They’ve been extremely cautious with their allies and enemies, and have managed to avoid the political turmoil to remain in their seat of power for quite a bit of time.
For untold years, Centrafeld has been fought over by both internal and external powers.  The Capital Lands, Antonelle, Westershire, and the Crags all vie for control of this key territory by supporting different houses that will act in their best interest.  House Fortelde has managed the delicate balance of making each Dutchy think that they have their wholehearted support, playing each of the houses off one another to take advantage of their shortsightedness.  The result has been a mostly independent and stable Centrafeld.
