Silmiran

==Overview==
Simiran occupies a large hollow and valley nestled between the Ered Taethiel, Ered Laiqa and Ered Bizar mountain ranges. The people are prosperous, thanks mainly to the lush Mercester Valley, given to Lord Silmir long ago. The gift of the Valley angered the Lords of Stimdor, who have open hostility towards the Silmirans. As of yet, war has not occurred between the two duchies- Silmir is a peaceful man, and Stim fears Silmiran's large armies and defensibility.
The people in Silmiran are amongst the wealthiest of the Ardanians- as well as the abundance of food, they possess many mines; trade with the Bizari Dwarves who also occupy the region has further increased their wealth. The average Silmiran lives much better than his kin from other duchies, and even farmsteads are larger. The Silmirans are generally a little 'snobby' but also incredibly peaceful. The value art above all else, and they have created many fine works. Silmiran is one of the most avid supporters of the monarchy, and have proven strong supporters since the rise of the Elentia Dynasty.
