 **Allegiance**

The **County of Blackmoore** is a holding within Northern Alterac nestled comfortably next to the Thondroril River. It consists of large expanses of flat plains, ideal conditions for agriculture. Formerly a holding of the House of Reneigh, Blackmoore has been a long standing holding of the House of Blackmoore since the absorption of the house, under the leadership of Zaria Blackmoore.

Formerly known as the County of Dallidale, the County has long since been reclaimed and re-dubbed into the County of Blackmoore, in honor of the House of Blackmoore.

The County houses a small host of troops, loyal to the House of Blackmoore; more notably called the Blackmoore Host. A small division of troops sworn to the House, as well as the fallen subcontinent of Lordaeron.

The holdings have also been well utilized in supplying and maintaining The Citrine Eagle, a sect of elite, Alterac loyal holy warriors within the mountain passes of the former Kingdom of Alterac.

## Holdings

The County of Blackmoore is divided into various small baronies and fiefdoms, though, the House of Blackmoore seeks those who may be worthy of owning holdings within the County.

### Talongrab

Talongrab is the fortified town hidden within the Alterac Mountains, within the County of Blackmoore. The town holds the seat of The Citrine Eagle, known as Talongrab Keep. Talongrab itself is nestled away into the depths of a long mountain pass, hidden away from most of normal society, functioning mostly through transportation via portals, gnomish bi-planes and choppers, and rarely, hearthstones. The town is a brief walk from the Hildegarb mountain chain to the north, near the green lands surrounding Blackmoore Manor.

# Geography

## Geographic Features

### Plains

The main regions within the County are overtaken by a large expanse of flat lands. All nestled within the one over-arching valley. This large expanse of plains is only interrupted by the occasional plateau. And the irrigation from the Thondroril River.

### Valleys

Blackmoore is tucked away within a large valley within the borders of Lordaeron (Subcontinent), and allow rain to trickle and converge at its center in a small lake, also fed by irrigation from the Thondroril river.

### Rivers and Lakes

Aside from the Thondroril River, all rivers and streams are man-made to assure the County has a steady supply of water from an outside source. Most of these rivers and streams are directed westward from the Thondroril, and either move to the various and numerous farms in the region, or spill into the large basin affixed to the center of the valley.

### Mountains

Blackmoore is nestled within a region that - is rather under debate between the Alterac Mountains, and the old borders of the Kingdom of Lordaeron, making its claims to jurisdiction in both regions reasonable. There is one especially large expanse of mountains to the far east, which cuts off communications with a small portion of the County, this region as of right now is underpopulated.
