March of Stonewind

## **General**

Nestled beyond the towering southern walls of Stormwind City's Mages' Quarter in the flat grasslands north of the Westridge mountain-range is the **March of Stonewind**, a small fiefdom carved formerly from the King's lands during the restructuring following the Second War. In 32 ADP, the House Ardalan acquired the hereditary title Marquis of Stonewind after serving as the Lord-Lieutenants for the years prior.

Under their reign, the March witnessed unprecedented degrees of economic growth from its silver mining operations based out of western Elwynn Forest. It has since expanded to contain the lands of both Elwynn Forest and the province of Duskwood. The March is also home to historic and culturally significant Prelature of Holy Oak.

## **Lands and Houses**

Using the road from Stormwind, the March is split into following fiefs:

* **March of Stonewind**, ruled by Lord Aras of House Ardalan.
	+ **County of Westerport**, ruled by Lord Tion of House Harrowmire.

All houses and fiefdoms of the March of Stonewind are actual unique players with the exception of Norman Greyson who is an alt of Aras Ardalan, no NPCs.

## **Military**

Due to its relatively close proximity to the capital, the march is host to a small garrison of roughly 550 soldiers belonging to His Majesty's Royal Army. For general civil issues, the march maintains a local militia consisting of 950 men-at-arms spread across the provinces' major cities and roads. In time of crisis, such as revolt or invasion, the march is capable of levying 15-20% of its populace. The bulk of the march's siege-works and artillery is kept at one of its two primary fortresses; Helmswood Motte or Norbury Keep. These weapons of war and their associated supplies include battering-rams, ballistas, catapults, cannons, and mortars. For matters pertaining to sea power, the march relies upon hired privateers.
