Grand Duchy of Fallorinsehir

Standard of the Grand Duchy of Fallorinsehir

Located in the outermost imperial region of Pryonitheir; the Grand Duchy of Fallorinsehir along with their brother realm the  Kingdom of Bargalliam are extremely devout to the  Empire of Estiandsya. So much so, they are often regarded as the Empire's most loyal subjects; and serve as the mustering grounds of the Empire. This is due to the Pryonithians' long and proud chivalric and military history; with the best commanders, knights, and soldiers of the Empire being from this region. Naturally, this reputation has led Pryonitheir and its constituent realms of Fallorinsehir and Bargalliam to be called the "Backbone of the Empire."

Fallorinsehir has long been ruled by a line of sagely duchesses from the royal House of Tulliha. Often called the "Right Hand of the Empire", the monarchs of Tulliha (originally from Yutheir) are devoutly loyal to the Empire and its ruling family, the Estalleiri.

Presently in Fallorinsehir, the realm itself suffers from crippling societal ill's; such as, an unrepresented populace due to the authoritative rule of the current Grand Duchess, debate over the presence of knights in a modern military, economic stagnation, and inequality. Time will tell if Fallorinsehir goes down a path of reform or following tradition. Although, looking through its history its likely the strong rule of the duchesses will veer the realm in a path of sagely guidance, that will lead to prosperity.

## Lore

Before the Empire the lands of Fallorinsehir were ruled by many petty lords who squabbled amongst themselves. The region wasn't united until the invasion by the Yutheirians, in which the Fallorinese were put under the suzerianity of the Bargallians in the imperial province of Pryonitheir. While still being distinct from the Bargallians the Fallorinese eventually adopted many aspects of the Bargallians under centuries of their overlordship under the Empire. The future ruling house of Tulliha were even of Bargallian origin.

### Imperial Rule

Under the Empire the region of Pryonitheir and Fallorinsehir in particular were home to the many great imperial academies most notably the Academy of the Imperial Army. In addition due to imperial sponsorship many great colleges and trade schools sprung up in Pryonitheir, all teaching imperial principals and doctrine along with craftsmanship and artisanry. This led Pryonitheir to be called "the land of the pen and sword."

### The House of Tulliha

Known as the "sagely house," the Tullihas are known for their vast knowledge of the world and their warrior spirit. For centuries under the emperors and empresses of the House of Estalleir, at least one Tulliha was on their council always advising the ruler of the Empire. Some Tullihas even married into the House of Estalleir itself.

While the Tullihas have great ties to the imperial court in Puronex they still remain true pragmatists at heart, and will do whats necessary for the Empire over loyalties.

### Changing Times

Since the industrial revolution in Fallorinsehir, its traditional knightly heritage has been challenged. With the formalization and increased imperial emphasis of a common army (which allows peasants into the army). This has caused conflict with the traditional mindset of warfare with the knights. Naturally this has caused division in the armed forces of Fallorinsehir, with commoner generals not wanting to take orders from the knights and vice versa.
