Signoria of Denence
Sovereign Signoria of Denence
Denence clings to the coast like a stubborn barnacle, its fishing fleets and bustling markets drawing wealth from the sea instead of the soil of Belsia. Lourd Roch Vernor, a stocky man with weathered skin and a voice hoarse from years at sea, governs from the salt-streaked city of Klagenfurt. His people are pragmatic traders who worship the Church of Dhara in a peculiar way, in their reverence Dhara is seen specifically as the God of the Sea for they owe the tides for the full shelves and coffers in their markets. Roch resents House Baudelaire for destroying the Nation of Belcour and binding Belsia to the empire, claiming their pact robbed Denence of independence and profit. He wields his navy as both a shield and bargaining chip, letting ships bearing Tsarsailles’ banners rot in harbour unless Vontessa pays dearly for safe passage. To the Baudelaires, he is a thorn; to his fishermen, he is a bulwark against imperial meddling.
