## Overview

Sevendor is the domain and home of *Minalan the Spellmonger**,* granted to him in fief after the battle of Timberwatch by the then Duke Rard. Minalan takes possession of the domain at the beginning of the 3rd book, *Magelord.* Throughout the book Magelord Minalan works on bringing the domain from its impoverished state to a wealthy mageland. Due to a conflict with the Warbird of West Fleria we see Sevendor gain new domains and become Greater Sevendor.

Later these lands become the Barony of Sevendor, when Minalan is raised to the peerage by King Rard in the 5th book, *High Mage*. As we move through the 8th book, *Enchanter*, Baron Minalan purchases several domains from Sashtalia's control, a move known as the Spellmonger's Wall of Gold. At the end of hostilities between the Lord of Sashtalia and Baron Arathanial of Sendaria, Minalan is able to further increase the domains in his Barony through a trade.

## Domain of Sevendor

The domain of Sevendor is a double blind valley with a common gap, made up of Sevendor Vale and Brestal Vale located in the northeastern Castali Riverlands.

> "...*My new fief was situated in the northern foothills of the Uwarri range, near the frontier with the Duchy of Remere…"*

Sevendor had been established for 300 years and was a former cadet domain of the famous House of Lensely. Due to dynastic wars Sevendor hasn't been under the control of the Lensely's for a couple of generations. The Duke of Castal had confiscated Sevendor when a previous lord and killed someone when they shouldn't have. As a domain controlled by the Duchy, a caretaker had been appointed.

> "*No sitting Lord of Sevendor had set foot on the property for over sixty years.  And no Lord of Sevendor had been in residence there for a century and a quarter."*

At the beginning of *Magelord* Sevendor Vale has 7 yeomanry's plus Sevendor Village. Brestal Vale has been illegally conquered by one of its neighbors.

### Sevendor Town

Banamor is named as Spellwarden of Sevendor and takes up residence in Sevendor Village, he goes on to lead a council and create a town charter. Under his guidance the town grows and prospers until eventually it become the City of Sevendor.

### Matten’s Helm

The central peak mountain between the two vales of Sevendor and Brestal.

> *Oh, it’s been called other things–Briga’s Teat, the Highland, Bald Rock, Seven’s Peak–but it’s properly known as Matten’s Helm. Legend has it that when Lenselys men first came to Sevendor, besides the Westwoodmen there was only a Stone Folk hermit living in the Vale, up there on the peak. Real feisty fellow, name o’ Matten–or at least that’s what the human folk called him.*

Minalan gives the peak to the *Alka Alon*for them to build their embassy to humanity; using *Snowstone**,* they build their tower, Lesgaethael.
