Dun Dunbar Castle

**Dun Dunbar Castle** sits on the outskirts of the village of Dunbar. It was built by the 1st Duke of Dunbar and his wife over 500 years ago and has been in the same family since.

## Castle Interior

### Notable artifacts

The castle boasts a 16th century Flemish stained glass window

## The Estate

The castle has a vast estate, which previously has included the entirety of the village of Dunbar.
It is located on the banks of a loch. The estate also has part of it:

* Sustainable forestary
* Organic farming

### Energy

70% of the estate's energy is generated by its own community wind farm.

## Naming

The full name of the castle could be considered a multilingual tautological place name. "Dun" comes from the Scottish Gaelic "dùn", meaning "fort" or "castle". Locals generally refer to it as "Dun Dunbar", so the addition of the "castle" suffix may be a recent addition for the benefit of tourists unfamiliar with Scottish toponymy.
Glockenspiel Consortium

Glockenspiel Consortium was an Aldovian financial company implicated in corruption as part of the New Aldovia Initiative.

Lady Fiona Pembroke

**Lady Fiona Pembroke** is a first cousin of Queen Margaret of Montenaro. She lives in Pembroke Estate which she inherited from her father, Lord Percival Pembroke, brother to Margaret's mother, Anne, Grand Duchess of Montenaro.

## Education

Lady Fiona attended Manderston Academy and later studied abroad in the United States of America.

## Attempted Coup d'état

Shortly before Queen Margaret's coronation, Lady Fiona attempted to kidnap Margaret and take her place as heir apparent. The attempted coup d'état ultimately failed, partly due to a case of mistaken identity, resulting in Princess Stacy of Belgravia being taken in Duchess Margaret's place. Margaret and Belgravia's Prince Edward led a rescue party and assisted Princess Stacy in her escape from captivity at Pembroke Estate. They then returned to Montenaro National Cathedral to stop the illegitimate coronation of Lady Fiona and unmasked Count Antonio Rossi as a co-conspirator when he unsuccessfully ordered the arrest of Margaret in an attempt to prevent her from stopping Fiona's coronation. The rescue party then proceeded to Montenaro Airport to stop Kevin Richards from leaving the country.

## Community Service

Despite the seriousness of the attempted coup, Lady Fiona received a sentence substantially more lenient than might be expected for treason. This may have been due to the influence of her cousin, Queen Margaret, whose request for clemency would likely carry substantial weight with any Montenaran judge. Lady Fiona was sentenced to "many years of community service," which she served partially at St. Michael's Convent and Orphanage. After the sentence was partially served, the remainder was commuted at a Christmastime meeting of the Disciplinary Review Committee following very positive testimony from Belgravia's Prince Edward, whose comments regarding Fiona's change in character since her kidnapping of Princess Stacy were influential with the committee.
Sophie McGuinty

**Sophie McGuinty** is an American Novelist. Her most famous works include the Emma Gale Series and The Heart of a Warrior.

## Name

McGunity's married name was **Sophie Brown**. She began publishing the first Emma Gale novel under this name and continued using it throughout the series, even after her divorce. It was only when writing The Heart of a Warrior that she began writing under her maiden name. This shift in name is said to reflect a distinct change in writing style. It may have also been encouraged by her publishers, given *McGuinty* is of Scottish origin and may give more authenticity to the new book which is set in Scotland.
Vatisec

**Vatisec** (*Vatican Security*) is a specialized security service operated by the Vatican City State. It is separate from but cooperates with the Pontifical Swiss Guard, and may provide logistical and direct security support rather than more ceremonial and honor guard functions. Vatisec engages in security operations around the world in conjunction with the interests of the Holy See. For example, in 2021 Vatisec provided security for the loan of The Star of Peace (a priceless relic once in the possession of St. Nicholas of Myra) to an International Christmas Festival held in the Kingdom of Montenaro under the direction of special emissary Cardinal Aked Amoah.

Monarch of Belgravia

The monarch is the head of state and ruler of the Kingdom of Belgravia. The current reigning monarch is King George.

## Form of Monarchy

It is unknown whether Belgravia has a constitutional or absolute monarchy, or some other form.

## Royal House

The current royal family is the House of Wyndham. It appears to date back at least as far as 1913, when King Albert of Belgravia was succeeded by King James II. Whether Albert represented the last scion of a now extinct royal line is unknown.

## Royal Residence

The official home of the sovereign of Belgravia is a palace in Belgravia.

## Succession

Belgravia apparently has a hereditary monarchy in which the crown is passed down the royal bloodline. It is unknown whether women are eligible to inherit the throne, but the example of Queen Sophia as shown in the Queen Margaret Pedigree seems to suggest succession may be limited to males only. Sophia, daughter of King Albert, did not inherit the throne. Instead, her husband reigned as King James II with Sophia as his consort. As the allied kingdom of Aldovia changed the laws governing succession in 2019 to allow females to inherit the crown, it is possible Belgravia may not yet have implemented similar changes.

## Coronation

The form of the coronation of the monarch of Belgravia is unknown.

## Arms

No official description of the royal arms of Belgravia has been released, but the family motto is known to be *Veritas, Anoris, Amare* (Truth, Honor, Love).

## List of Monarchs of Belgravia

Known Monarchs of Belgravia
 Charles | 1845
 Albert | 1860
 James II | 1889
 George | 1947
1st Duchess of Dunbar

The **1st Duchess of Dunbar** is a key figure in the local legands around the village of Dunbar.
She went to war and is credited with saving the village as a result. During the war, she fell in love with a commoner who fought alongside her. Their wedding, on Christmas Eve at Dun Dunbar, is traditonally celebrated at the Castle with an open invitation to the whole village. This practice lasted many centuries, and whilst had stopped at one point, there have been recent attempts to reintroduce it.

## Marriages

The Duchess was married to the 1st Duke of Dunbar, with whom she built Dun Dunbar Castle (on the site of the Duke's birthplace). The Duke died at an unknown date. Subsequently, she fell in love with the commoner who figures in to the legend of the Dunglenn Holy Well, whom she later married at Dun Dunbar on Christmas Eve.

## Dunglenn Holy Well

The Duchess is said to have come to the Dunglenn Holy Well dressed in her garments of war and laid a necklace at its edge for courage.

## Popular Culture

The tale of the Duchess formed the inspiration for the novel, The Heart of a Warrior by Sophie McGuinty.

Snow

**Snow** is atmospheric water vapor that becomes frozen into a crystalline structure and falls in light white flakes or accumulates on surfaces as a white layer.

## Hazards

Snow can render travel difficult and threaten survival as exposure increases. Famously, the shutdown of Aldovia International Airport during a large snowstorm prevented the King and Queen of Penglia from leaving Aldovia in the midst of the crisis surrounding the 2019 theft of the Centennial Treaty. The wintry weather was directly involved in preventing the resumption of the Aldovian-Penglian War. That same year, the birth of Princess Elleri of Aldovia was complicated by a single-car accident in which the royal obstetrician-gynecologist drove off the roadway into a snowbank while en route to the Aldovia Royal Palace to oversee the delivery.

Montenaran winters are known for their intense snowstorms.

## Recreation

Snow has a variety of recreational uses including:

* Construction of snowpeople, snow forts, etc.
* Skiing
* Sleigh riding
* Snowball fights
* Tobogganing

## Traditions

In the Kingdom of Aldovia, snow at Christmas is seen as a sign of good fortune.

## Regional Availability

In areas where snow is not available due to climate, such as Guam's Andersen Air Force Base and Naval Base Guam, coconut flakes are sometimes used in place of snow.
Meadowlark Corporation

The **Meadowlark Corporation** was an Aldovian financial company which formed part of the Glockenspiel Consortium implicated in corruption as part of the New Aldovia Initiative.

Eventually, Queen Quinn’s Advisors and Ministers were able to convince her something needed to be done. This led to one of the greatest marriages of all time. Too which is told in our own story, the story of Astroth.*

*House Rainguard controls the only access to the North by land. They have a formidable Army and defenses that they use to defend Astroth from the enemies to the North.

Simultaneously, Margaret met and fell in love with Stacy's sous chef Kevin Richards. Both couples subsequently married and enjoy close friendships. The marriage of Prince Edward and Stacy De Novo took place a year after their initial meeting. The wedding cake, which is assumed by many to have been baked by Stacy herself, prominently features two buck (male) deer with their antlers intertwined, as if in love. This has been taken by some as a tacit sign of the princess's support for same-sex marriage.

## Foreign Relations

Edward and his family are close allies of the royal family of Montenaro. Edward and Princess Stacy were present in Montenaro for the coronation of Queen Margaret and each played decisive roles in thwarting the attempted coup associated with Margaret's accession. Princess Stacy, who had been kidnapped after she was mistaken for Margaret at the Montenaro Children's Choir Christmas concert, managed to escape her captivity in an undercroft storage area at Pembroke Estate. She was pursued by a henchman of Lady Fiona Pembroke but managed to reach the rescue party led by Prince Edward and The Duchess of Montenaro.

Bernet Ranch Winery

**Bernet Ranch Winery** (also known as **Bernet Farm Wine Vineyards**) is a cattle ranch, dairy farm, cheesery, bakery, and winery, as well as the home of **Bernet Vineyard** (also known as **Bernet Vineyards**). It is located on 200 acres near Petaluma, California.

## History

The ranch has been in the Bernet family for at least five generations. It is currently owned by Callie Bernet, to whom it was signed over from her mother, the late Wendy Bernet, who inherited it from her late husband, Ben Bernet, who was killed in a side-impact car accident on his way to purchase Christmas lights. In 2020, the family briefly considered selling the property to Van Aston Enterprises for development into a warehouse facility, but decided to expand winery operations instead. Twelve of the 200 acres have been allocated for eventual sale to the winery's vintner and property manager as part of his overall compensation.

## Ownership & Staff

* Callie Bernet, owner
* Juan-Pablo Manuel Francisco Villanueva-Cortes, vintner, sommelier, & property manager

## Dairy Farm

The ranch's dairy operations are somewhat unique among commercial milk producers in that cows are hand milked. The dairy produces a variety of cheeses.

## Bakery

The ranch kitchen is noted locally as a producer of breads. Of particular note is the ranch's Christmas sprinkle bread.

## Bernet Vineyard & Winery

The **Bernet Ranch Winery** has also included heirloom grape vines for five generations. They are the oldest things on the property. Previous to December 2020, the operation produced only a relatively small volume of wine, which was consumed by the family and gifted to friends and relatives. In 2020, however, it was discovered via the assistance of ranchhand/industrialist Joseph Van Aston that the wine was of substantial value. The vines, which were brought from France in the suitcase of the 4th-great grandfather of Callie Bernet, turned out to be an unblemished varietal that escaped a phylloxera epidemic which wiped out most of the grapes in Bordeaux. As a result of this discovery, the Barrel Room Wine Club leased the Bernet Vineyard wines on a limited distribution basis. The operation has since expanded to feature extensive, verdant, rolling hills of vines to support increased production. The winery is also known as **Bernet Farm Wine Vineyards.** The vintner and sommelier is Juan-Pablo Manuel Francisco Villanueva-Cortes, who initially worked on the ranch as a ranchhand before being discovered to have a perfect palate.

Chloromethazine

The structure of chloromethazine

**Chloromethazine** is a chemical compound used as an anesthetic.

## Discovery

Chloromethazine was developed by Dr. Andrew Levine of the Montreal Academy for Anesthetic Sciences, and was awarded *Best Scientific Breakthrough* in 2001.

## Properties

Dr. Levine designed chloromethazine for use in acute surgeries where nerve endings are not responsive to regular anesthesia. It is a general anesthetic with great effectiveness and very few side effects for the general population.

## Regulation

Chloromethazine is highly regulated, having been banned in 2008 due to black markets obtaining it and contaminating it with Norlap-class narcotics. In 2006, there were several reported cases of severe symptoms leading to long-term disabilities. All were linked to the illicit hybrid contamination of the lead molecule array–Poutine 3456. It is a Red 7-restricted substance.

## Availability

Chloromethazine was formerly distributed by Chloropharm Labs. Currently, it is unavailable outside black markets in Asia and illegally via one pharmacy in Geneva, Switzerland.
Annual Christmas Hawking Competition

The **Annual Christmas Hawking Competition** was a contest held yearly in December in England during the reign of King Edward III in conjunction with the Christmas holiday. The historical record does not indicate if the competition began prior to Edward's reign or if it continued after his death in 1377.

## Structure

In contrast with other forms of hawking, all competitors attempted to track a single hawk rather than each using hawks in order to track prey. The King's own royal falconer would release a hawk from a castle tower and participants would ride out in search of the bird. Knights and squires were both eligible for participation, but women were apparently barred from competition. Participants were required to overcome obstacles such as forests and snow and competed in armor.

## List of Hawks and Locations

The following hawks were known to take part in the competition, which was held in the specified location in the year listed.

House Rosefire

*House Rosefire was founded by a man named Fortunus Rosefire many years after Humanity came to Astroth and began to spread across it’s lands rapidly, Fortunus was a devout worshipper of Luck the Trickster God using trickery and manipulation to get by his life as a commoner. Fortunus worked his way up from the bottom, he became the owner of a bank in one of Astroth’s major cities, gaining dominion over the local economy quite fast as he slowly began to buy out businesses of different kinds both within the city walls and in the countryside.*

*As his economic empire only continued to expand he soon was offered a high position as the Governor of the lands he lived in under his area’s Lord thus only increasing House Rosefire’s influence and power. Though it was with this newly acquired position, and the title of Baron, that led to him marrying an Elven woman from the Elven Kingdom named Fenia Yesrel, this is what led to the bloodline of House Rosefire being made up of Elves, Humans and Half-Elves. Eventually House Rosefire became more influential then the nobles that were supposedly ruling over them to the point of their leaders from then on out being granted the title of Lord.*

*House Rosefire provides jobs for countless men and women across Astroth with their noble house resembling that of a megacorporation in many cases, some say it was their worship and practices inspired by Luck that led their grabs for power to succeed, others completely credit the members of the bloodline involved. Despite all of this, House Rosefires reputation has began to decrease since the newest Undead crises in astroth has arisen with many claiming their attempt at creating the Riverbend Colony was a failure especially with the news of them declaring nationhood.*

*Now House Rosefire is in a subtle feud with the royal family of the Kingdom of Varia, by some of those who are aware of this feud that if these two factions don’t make up and stop with their struggle for power in the capital city, then the Undead will only continue to gain ground. House Rosefire has a Guard Force called the Executive Enforcers which guard their assets and collect money from those that owe House Rosefire’s bank money.*

House Chalsmith

*House Chalsmith, a noble house known for their faith and their considerable ordering of the clerical body within Idos. The Chalsmiths have been loyal retainers of House Pendragon and historically they have secured the authority of the Pantheon within the lands of Idos. In truth, some might argue that the Chalsmiths are behind the rather surgical inception of the Pantheon into a variety of other civilizations, as their work for a number of centuries was sending forth missionaries to foreign lands so that they might convert to the Pantheon. And, to some degree, they inadvertently control the clerical body which has granted them a reputation of great benevolence with the Priestly Council (when the Council was still a thing). Rumors that the Chalsmiths' influence led to them controlling the Council were widespread in Idos prior to the Undead threat.*

*When the Undead threat came to Astroth and reached the Kingdom of Idos, Lord Terentio readied his armies and put his Paladins and War Clerics on the frontlines to use their Holy Magic blessed by the Gods to extinguish the legions of walking corpses. Yet, the Chalsmiths faced a heart-crushing defeat at Smith’s Keep, as both the heir apparent, Heinrick, and Lord Terentio fell attempting to defend their keep. This left the next in line for the Lordship, Vezio Chalsmith, to take on the role and begin the process of aiding the Pendragons in their move to the new, defendable lands in the center of Astroth. Despite their best efforts to protect their holy lands, the fellow Lords of Idos’ were falling one by one to the hordes that were assaulting their lands. In due time, they were incapable of truly defending themselves, thus the Chalsmiths proposed to House Pendragon a political alliance with the High Elves as a means of securing a multi-racial alliance against the catastrophe. Posturing Princess Eleanor, the recently widowed wife of Heinrick Chalsmith, as the necessary piece for securing this alliance with Lady Quinn.*

*Once Idos was evacuated and the planned marriage was a success. House Chalsmith went to occupy and defend the eastern front in Astroth to beat back the encroaching Undead legions coming from that direction, their Knights and Clerics holding the line to the best of their abilities. The Chalsmith, without their influence over religious institutions, are at a great loss politically since they currently retain no leverage beyond their political proximity to the Pendragons. Now confined to a border and dealing with the catastrophe, the question of where they are to go from here arises. Their desires are quite simple, they seek to prove their loyalty to the Pendragon’s, yet controlling the political sphere has proven strenuous without the Council around.*
