Berwickshire (Greenlaw, Duns, Eyemouth, Lauder, Coldstream)
Berwickshire was a kingdom in its own
right one of the seven kingdoms that made up ancient Ithron. Then, a
little over two hundred years ago came the Axirians. That mighty
empire swept all resistance before it, engulfing the southern
kingdoms till only Berwickshire and Lirron remained.
In place of the king the north was ruled
by a steward placed by the Empire; Lord Farron while in the west
Carlech and the Marches became the lands of Earl Hightower, a Black
Knight who quelled an uprising there a few years after the
invasions.
The descendent of the King returned to Berwickshire, and threw out
Lord Farron to claim the Kingdom as his right. He has been known
only as Earl Berwick. In his time as ruler the Earl promoted
economic and military expansion building strong connections with
local merchants, and recruiting the largest army in Ithron.
Because of this and other reasons
Berwick became very unpopular outside of his lands, and also within
some sections of his own population especially the church of Kharach
and the adventuring classes.
In 992 there arose again the spectre of the great white liche of the
north, Tsojcanth. He caused much pain and suffering in the lands,
and much of the efforts of the adventuring community was towards his
destruction. This culminated in an expedition led out by a master
Necromancer named Anthrax who had the means to destroy the liche.
