The Duchy of Hoszmèzovàsàr

Of the three Mountain Duchies, Hoszmèzovàsàr is the wildest, and least populated. Its people are the least assimilated into the Mòvadhi culture – only in the largest town, Prògy, is any Mòvadhi even spoken with any regularity. The only real political structures present are the Duchy itself, and a handful of baronies; the only one that is at all noteworthy is the Barony of Zarkàx, which, although it is nominally a part of Hoszmèzovàsàr, is essentially cut off from the rest of the Duchy except through a number of small passes through the northern Raponik Mountains, and which are only open for a few months of the year. The lands of Zarkàx are dominated by trackless fens surrounding the Shtòlpok River, which are near-impassable from autumn until spring, save by those few who know the way. The lands surrounding Prògy are fertile grasslands, and the area is famed for its cattle, sheep, and goats, and consequently its cheeses. Between Prògy and Zarkàx lie the Forests of Stelpovaskaya, which are nearly un-mapped and notoriously perilous, said to be infested by fell beasts and worse.
