Bradmont
At the center of the kingdoms of New Meritta, Bradmont stands as a shining example of prosperity, honor, duty, and respect. Bradmont is mostly large, sprawling, fruitful plains that have led to years of content subjects with work to do and food to eat. Bradmont stands tall as one of the longest running kingdoms in New Meritta. Bradmont has long been one of the most stable kingdoms due to their incredible defensive tactics. Internally, Bradmont has never had an uprising. Centuries of recorded lineage show the Kings of the past, the noble houses they came from and their heraldry. This lineage is important to the people of Bradmont. As such, the names of families carries more political weight in Bradmont than anywhere else.
Ruler[edit]
King Thormund Greywood III comes from the illustrious Greywood family that leads back over 130 recorded generations. Known to be a strong tactician and a benevolent leader, Thormund is a bit gruff, but loved by the people of Bradmont. Sadly, Thormund is yet to produce an heir, and with the recent death of his wife Philia Greywood, it appears he may be the end of the Greywood line. Much of the other noble families have been talking about subsuming the Greywood claims but clearly nothing louder than a whisper can be heard.
Capitol[edit]
Mare Glade is the capital city of Bradmont. A large wall around the glade protects the city within. A series of large mansions dot the inside of Mare Glade, homes for the heads of the noble families of Bradmont. There is no castle for the King of Bradmont, instead staying in his or her family’s estate as the defacto head of the family. Each of the major noble houses send representatives to meet with the king on a monthly basis. The capitol isn’t open to outsiders except on a monthly moon festival, a large part of the culture of Bradmont.
