Realm Description

Riveshire is a picturesque County along the southern coast of Caorran, where the Farudi River completes its journey to the sea. Its banks are rich with fertile lands and woodlands, nourished by the river's steady flow, while the estuary teems with fish and migratory birds. Small villages and market towns dot the landscape, their stone and timber buildings nestled among the trees and meadows that bloom with wildflowers each spring. The county's dark forests of Tuskwood, once largely untamed, now thrive alongside cultivated lands, offering both shelter to wildlife and resources for human settlement.

The County is ruled by House Rampshire, a noble family whose sigil, the stag, embodies both grace and vigilance. From their ancestral seat at Antlerhall, they govern with dignity, their presence inspiring loyalty and respect among the shire. The stag is more than a symbol here: it represents a careful balance between strength and refinement, a noble harmony with the land that their stewardship protects. Guarded by the elite Stagward, the County stands as a beacon of order, culture, and cultivated prosperity amidst the natural bounty of its lands.
