Lyonesse

The Dukedom of Lyonesse is a founding Dukedom that lies upon the north-western shores of Bretonnia. One of the larger Dukedoms following its annexation of Mousillon, the lands of Lyonesse are infamously known for their rivalry with not other Bretonnian realms, but amongst their own nobility, even in comparison to the other realms of Bretonnia. People blame the unusual geography, particularly the prevalence of excellent sites for fortifications, which deters rival Dukedoms from waging war or feuds with the Lords of Lyonesse.

It is very difficult to utterly defeat a Lyonen noble, so rivalries, once started between other Lyonen nobles, tend to continue for decades, if not centuries. This has resulted in a division within the lands that can never truly perish. Without any true outside threat to unite the scheming Lyonen Lords together, it is said that Lyonesse will be plagued with disunion for the rest of their history. Its current ruler is Duke Adalhard.
