Middenmark

Middenmark, The Prelacy of — Once a lawless frontier, Middenmark has been ceded to the church of St. Ygg, who have established law and order through force of arms and the implementation of the Red Laws, a strict moral code that the Middenmarkers are starting to resist.

Middenmark is a theocratic vassal to the ruler of Threshold. Middenmark is ruled by His Venerable Mercy, Prelate Mordicar Justhand, a cleric of St. Ygg.

The priests of St. Ygg established their political and administrative center at the Red Temple in Eastdale, as well as sending priests and building small shrines in the villages of Kirkilston, Westkeep, and Raven's Pass.

Middenmark lies approximately one-hundred miles north of Slaytonthorpe. The Middenmark lies to the east of the Duchy of Aerik. Middenmark is bounded at its northwest corner by the city of Threshold, on the west by the River Isenduin, and in its southeastern corner by the Spine Mountains, and by Westkeep in the southwest.
