The
County of Athami is a fief domiciled in
Daltina, situated to the south of Daltina close to the borderlands of Sherian Province, but within the Sovereignty of
Enamoria. It is one of the borderland counties and as such is more militant than the inland counties. It is one of the more important Counties given the orcish threat to the south, and the fact that this County is the first line of defense against that Horde.
His Grace Gautier
de Lunette is the current Count and holds court at de Lunette Manor, located on the western edge of the Maevewoods.
Located within Athami were the few Earls who were essentially the Count’s commanders, and the Lords whom took care of the lands and people themselves. These Earls were as followed: Earl Leonard Forrester, the current leader of the Forrester House (his lands were situated in the center of the border); Earl Nethnal Menves (To the East including the mountains) and Earl Bydul Enorta (To the West up to the coast). Each of these Earls owned a Fortress of some description which presided over a portion of the County lands, keeping the people safe.
The County consists of ten Lordships, presiding over a total of thirty-eight parcels of land. The Lordships who were sworn to the Count, and presided over by the Earls, provided men to serve under the Count and Earls, some were permanent soldiers and others temporary, and their purpose was protection. The Count also had a small navy to ensure trade routes were protected.
