Duchy of Tirmyn
The Duchy of Tirmyn is a cursed jewel for House Gorisonad.
It's a land rich in resoures, especially mineral resources but the Gorisonad Duchess has to deal with beligerent and untrustworthy vassals she was saddled with.
Government
The realm is a direct vassal state of the Queen of Swynfaredia. In theory this duchy operates like every other Duchy, but from the inception of this duchy, the ducal family has been deliberately saddled with vassals who would be hard to control.
Industry & Trade
Most of the population is farmers, but the economic driver of the region is its mineral wealth.
There is a good sized town near the central gold mine which is the economic hub for the duchy.
Districts
The duchy is split into five administrative counties.
The ducal county seat is controlled by House Gorisonad.
The other counties are controlled by House Fremiss-Bryallan, House Numaness, House Fremiss-Caedwin, and House Gareth
House Numaness and Gareth have long been traditional political rivals of House Gorisonad. House Fremiss-Caedwin is a relatively new and relatively minor rival.
History
The duchy was annexed into Swynfaredia had a time of instability and political turmoil in the nation. It's controversial county makeup was the result of some harsh compromises.
Geography

Climate
