Merlot County

The County of Merlot encompasses Stout Field, the breadbasket of the Kingdom, and stretches east to the Whisky Pass that separates the Kingdom from the Wholegrain Alliance. The territory's capital is Cav City, a fortified border city that prospers from agriculture and martial training.

House Merlot has inherited rule over the Kingdom's Ministry of Military Affairs, and commands all Royal armies that do not directly belong to the King. During times of war, the Count of Merlot becomes the Royal army's commander-in-chief. House Merlot, which directs the Kingdom's domestic affairs, has a fractious relationship with House Merlot due to conflicts between their respective spheres of government.
