Ironbay

within the province of the Storm Coast, on the continent of Valdemar

Centuries ago when there was an overarching kingdom ruling the Storm Coast, the great city of Ironbay was the seat of it’s power. Today, it is the largest and most powerful city of the Eastern province of Valdemar. While it does not have quite the trade value of Black Landing, or its mercenary army size, the forces of Ironbay are much more disciplined and trained for fighting in an organized fashion. Therefore, while the warriors of Black Landing are known to be individually skilled, the combined army of Ironbay is the greatest human martial fighting force in the region. The guard forces of the city are well trained and corruption is low, but the Black Brotherhood has a presence there nevertheless.

The massive city is ruled by factions of noble families culminating in a Council of Lords, sat by the heads of these families. These Lord’s choose from among them a High Lord or Lady who rules above all others, and is the closest thing to a King or Queen the Storm Coast has. For just over a decade the High Lord of Ironbay has been investing his own personal fortune into rebuilding the ruined city of Windhaven. Now as the almost forgotten city rises again so does the High Lord’s increasing wealth. Talk on the streets is that the Council of Lords grows anxious towards their High Lord and a single individual’s power over a such a large portion of the Storm Coast.
