Viscount

Miscount

Economy

 

Military

Brythalia's many nobles spend most of their time and energy fighting each other and attempting to enlarge their domains. The traditional campaigning season opens in the spring with small skirmishes in the month of Greenstart, followed by local wars in Windery. By tradition, after Feast of Fibbletoss, a national truce is declared and the nobles join forces for the Annual War with Raelna.

 

Recent kings have made greater use of drafted debtors, criminals, and landless men and hired mercenaries to create a small standing army, used mainly for border defense, rather than relying entirely on fee service and the levy. Soldiers of the King's Army wear brown uniforms.
