Margraviate of Selholt

A poor, medium sized realm of humans in the far north-west of Aegeron

History
Selholt had existed as an independent feudal realm for centuries before the Imperium, but due to its relative weakness the neighboring kingdoms never recognized its ruler as their equal, so the rulers of Selholt held the title of margrave (a royal-like title, but not a king), which was adopted again by the newly independent realm after the Succession Wars.

Due to the its remoteness and low population the other kingdoms showed no interest in conquering them during the Succession Wars

Life
Life in Selholt is hard, so the margrave rules with an iron fist to keep the peace in the realm. While criticizing the ruling classes is frowned upon in most feudal realms, in Selholt it is punished severely. It is quite easy to be branded as an "enemy of the crown", who are exiled to the prison colonies in the frozen northern wasteland.
