***

Duchy of Garanth

 

Duke Aziel Yothman II of Garanth, Sea-Lord 1st Degree, Admiral of the King's Fleet and Warden of the Sea; Liege Lord to Schelnor, Farwhite and Seward and Lord of Trantor Castle.

The Yothman's are one of the oldest and most honorable lines of Kelmournian nobles in the land. They have long held high a tradition of honor and learning as well as staunch loyalty to House Kelmourne.

Since the Kelmourne invasion, the Yothman's have been rulers of Trantor, a heavily fortified castle in Radagar bay. Radagar bay is a usually sunny and easily defended bay met at the ocean by a thick wall of fog and cool winds. Trantor also harbors a large portion of Kelmournes's navy from where seafaring patrols range along the shores of the thousand lakes and even further protecting against Martakian pirate raids, defending the coast and insuring the safety of seaborn commerce and travel.
