The Barony of Whiteiron was founded when Sellien Feaster was given the Isle after achieving several victories against the newly reformed scourge during the shattered sky offensive alongside Silverrock, Zetrayus Allengale the IX was the entire reason why. Whiteiron relies on the southern bread basket of the Barony to feed the rest of the population who either normally hunt game or trade with the port cities or towns to sustain themselves. It's a harsh life on Whiteiron but they've managed to not only survive but thrive in a land that eternally tries to kill them.

### Culture

The people of Whiteiron take on heavily from those of Kul Tiras and Lordaeron due to it mainly being settled by survivors of the Fall of Lordaeron or Veteran Seamen settling there for the peace and quiet of the island which has given a rise to support the Alliance as of late due to the strong ethnic and military ties. Several descents could even trace their lineage to what would've been the first Gilnean explorers who may have even settled Kul Tiras.

The population's idea of religion is very loose due to either not believing in any form of religion or choosing to worship obscure gods that may have just been old folktales. Most of the city folk choose to worship the Tidemother for most of their dealings with religion, praying for help with harvests and praying for safe passage from the arctic isle.

### Economy

Due to an unnatural eternal winter that blankets most of Whiteiron, it has been rather hard to grow anything except for say the southern lands which have remained in its beauty and weather changing with the weather like most places. The harsh environment has given rise to an increased want for military service, working on ships, working the mines, or working the immense factory forges that are found in the major cities. Several factories have appeared over time along with the increased mining operations across the Isle which has led to the introduction of further guilds and mining corporations to move in to assist with the large coal and iron deposits that lay across the land.

### History

The founding of the Barony proper has only recently happened in the last two years which has caused massive economic growth and increased building of public facilities, schools, and even schools of war and naval tactics. This has also recently forced the House of Feaster to rethink their current political strategy and have turned to allies within the Kingdom of Stormwind relying on their ally Daigan Slade who has now started to pull them into the trading circles of Stormwind and it's Kingdom proper. It has now applied for Barony status under the authority of the Kingdom of Stormwind, to be absorbed into the greater Kingdom.

### Settlements

Whiteiron Keep, the seat of all power within the Barony of Whiteiron and has served as the House of Feaster's seat of power from time to time if not stationed at Tilona. It has become a military installation of sorts since it's founding for the Iron Legion which Sellien is the Lord-Militant.

Derns, run by house Vinfalk who controls the mostly agriculture-rich southern lands the city and its people have been rather loyal to the Feasters since their most recent arrival due to several promises of keeping their culture alive and well along with securing favorable trade deals for Derns wheat.

Winterfall has served as the largest single port on Whiteiron building several new warships to defend the Isle or to protect the Feaster trading fleet which has become somewhat renowned in its own right. Winterfall has remained under the control of at times, disloyal Vermonia.

### Houses of Whiteiron

House Feaster is the newest House on the Isle but has grown to control the entire Island since its arrival, it has been rather favorable to the loyal native houses and banished the disloyal ones to either far colonies or stripped their support of any power base.

House Vermonia are the mysterious shipwrights and sailors of Winterfall they've been left to their relative own devices as of late due to other problems occurring such as the eternal blizzard that plagues the land or other such problems focused on by Sellien. For now, they are a growing threat to the House Feaster's current power on the Isle.

House Vinfalk are the legendary farmers of the southern lands who have kept Whiteiron from starving on many occasions and have begun to supply several thousand troops to the Iron Legion to support the Feasters in any matter they can. They've been graciously awarded more land for the loyalty shown and have been kept as close advisors to the running of the Barony.
