Kingdom of Marshfield
The Kingdom of Marshfield is a large duchy (not actually a kingdom) in the extreme northeast of the Linibian States. The area is something of an expansion of the original coalition that came about during the Korth Conquest when a Korth warlord known as the Iron Emperor ruled over a collection of regions that became known as the Iron Empire. The "Kingdom" was assigned to a relatively obscure halfling by the Iron Emperor a few decades before the empire was defeated and disbanded. This individual, Duke Alathius Marshfield, managed to retain power and also managed to replace most of the Korth rulers in the nearby regions with his own, much younger, siblings.
The Kingdom of Marshfield was founded sometime around K5C when the Iron Emperor sent a battalion to defeat a brass dragon that held sway over the region for several centuries and bring the region under control of the Iron Empire. After the dragon and other threats in the region were eliminated, a feat that spent the lives of over three fourths of that battalion, the capital city of Marshfield was founded on a strategically and tactically critical high point in the region where several important trade routes converge at one of the few navigable rivers in the region. In the centuries since, the kingdom has grown into an industrial powerhouse and the largest population of any region in the former lands of the Iron Empire.
