County of Farenthis

right|300px
Allegiance: The Empire of Trynser
Ruler: Count Alain Beskarle 
Capital: Farenthis
Senator: Lord Drake Beskarle
The county of Farenthis is located near the center of the eastern coast of the Trynsern Peninsula, bordered by the Duchy of Mantius to the south, the barony of Eglend to the west, and Velrath March and the Olimphyrr Palitinate to the north.
The county was directly in the path of Gormann's Horde, and a major battle was fought between the Horde and Trynser's Lord High Marshall Erois Datagnian. The battle was bloody and hard fought, but was unfortunately not as well regarded as the triumph at Heddenfields or the slaughter at Terenden. The battlefield remains neglected to this day, with many bodies left to rot. One still sees the glint of the sun on bones off of the badly damaged Imperial Highway.
The whole region was devastated by the horde. Everything of value has been burned to the ground. The Imperial Highway remains so badly damaged, with bridges burned and tumbled, that Imperial correspondence takes to the sea at Mantius and sails along the coast. The bridges are being rebuilt and the roads are being repaired.
Things could be worse, Gormann's Horde did not linger here. They just wrecked everything and moved on. The local population ducked and covered here as best as they could and came back out when they had moved on.
Count Beskarle is one of the few local lords to survive the war, not for a lack of fighting. The count led a brigade of troops throughout the war around the fringes of the horde. He is recognized as a hero and his county is proud of him. He is living in a tent in the ruins of his capital organizing the rebuilding.
The county is notorious as a haven for witches. Several communities along the fringes of the county remain relatively untouched, being under the protection of said witches. Although the Divine Circle priesthood disapproves, the witches are cause for local celebration. The town of Farenthis holds an annual Witches' Festival every year. This year will be no different.
