Barony of Edenford

The Barony of Edenford is a region in the Range formerly ruled by the House of Chester. The region fell in obscurity approximately four centuries after its formation following the sudden deaths of almost all the members of the House of Chester in a suspicious fire at their manor. With the ruling house believed defunct, it was absorbed into the greater Range, but was mostly delegated to management by mayoral rule. It was ravaged during the Invasion of Gilneas, and it is one of the few regions of the Ashen Coast that remains largely in disrepair. Those few stray regions that are not destroyed are generally very small communities still under mayoral rule. The Barony was home to the city of Edenford, the settlement of Folston Village and the fortified city of Fort Gaelik, all of which are either in ruins or abandoned, and it was once known for its richness in minerals. Due to being mostly abandoned, there is a noticeable lack of law enforcement in the region, which many bandits and criminals capitalize on, hiding in the ruins of Edenford. From there, they were known to occasionally harass the few locals of the region. They also seek the precious metals in the mines beneath the city, now very dangerous due to lack of maintenance after being abandoned.
Following the Second Range Rebellion, a number of former supporters of Oliver Gregor fled to the region, taking advantage of the lack of law enforcement to hide. In addition, the bandits have increased their number of raids, and many people have gone missing in weeks with several small settlements being outright abandoned.
