More a formality than a proper county, within King’s Rock lies the grand city of Beckendale, which serves as a massive trade hub and capital to the duchy. If one were to view the roads as the veins of Alenthyl’s trade network, and the minor stops and villages along the way as the arteries, Birmbridge would serve as the beating heart of the entire operation. Still, King’s Rock is the smallest of Centrafeld’s counties, taking up a simply paltry amount of land in comparison to its peers.

More a formality than a proper county, within King’s Rock lies the grand city of Beckendale, which serves as a massive trade hub and capital to the duchy. If one were to view the roads as the veins of Alenthyl’s trade network, and the minor stops and villages along the way as the arteries, Birmbridge would serve as the beating heart of the entire operation. Still, King’s Rock is the smallest of Centrafeld’s counties, taking up a simply paltry amount of land in comparison to its peers. However what it lacks in size, it makes up for in influence. Nearly all goods travelling to the Capital Lands stop through King’s Rock at some point, and the ruling family knows it. Varren’s River runs through the border between the Capital Land and King’s Rock, and it isn’t free to cross. The river is far too wide and violent to traverse safely, and thus its become a choke point for caravans. You either need to pay the sizable toll to cross one of the four bridges that cross the river, each run by its own noble family, or pay a slightly less sizable to to a less than reputable individual who owns a barge to smuggle you across Lake Florian. Regardless, the way between Centrafeld and the Capital Lands always takes its toll.
