Barony of The Dale

The Barony of The Dale
Motto: Perseverantia palma

"By perseverance one gains the palms (prosperity)"

Overview
The Barony of the Dale is mostly made up of people who are farmers or who work the Psynian River. The Dale is the bread basket of the Duchy, supplying the greatest amount of food for the Duchy. This is not to say that The Dale does not have its share of craftsman making many of the required finished goods the people of The Dale need.

The most notable city is the fortress of Greenstone, built by Baron Roget of the Dale at the time of border disputes with the Duchy of Barconia. The fortress was named for the color of its stonework. The Psynian River carries a brisk trade from Medici to the city of Avalon. The Dalemen are known for their animosity towards Barconians.

In recent history, some displaced Halflings who were fleeing the chaos during the fall of Nymidia came to the Duchy of Avalon seeking refuge. The Baron Derek Ironheart offered them a new home in the Dale and New Gleneden was founded.
