Oertha Groups

The Local Groups of the Principality of Oertha

The lands of the Principality are vast and diverse. The Kingdom of the West's largest Principality by far; the lands are ruled for the Crown by the Prince and Princess of Oertha. The Prince and Princess, in turn, rely on Barons, Baronesses, and a variety of Seneschals to ensure that the lands of Oertha are cared for.

The following is a list of the individual groups within the Principality.

The Barony of Eskalya

The name "Eskalya" comes from an anagram / phoenetic spelling of the old Tlingit / Aleut name for Alaska (Alyeska) which means "The Great Land." The Barony of Eskalya covers most of the Alaska south of the Alaska Range and between the Eagle River and north of the Kenai Penninsula. Eskalya is centered in the Anchorage area.

The Barony of Selviergard

The boundaries of Selviergard are within the Matanuska-Susitna Valley, bound on the south by the Eagle River and the North by Hurricane Gulch of the Alaska Range. The Barony of Selviergard's name was originally derived from a Scandinavian word meaning "free hold" and not actually derived from "silver guard" as orginally thought.
