Barony of Edenford

The Barony of Edenford was a small fief located in the southeastern part of the Headlands once ruled by the House of Chester. It's economy rested on the minerals from the local mine as well as the agriculture, which was heavily practiced in the area.

It was founded shortly after the War of Aderic, in which the Kingdom of Gilneas came out of victorious, and given to Gaelik Chester to administrate as reward for supporting the king, Aderic I. Originally composed merely of the mining town of Edenford, it experienced a small period of expansion in the thirty years between the war of Aderic and the War of Silverpine, during which the village of Folston was constructed.

A few decades after the war of Silverpine had ended, the fortress of Fort Gaelik was constructed in honor of the fallen warrior. The fort still housed a relatively small garrison in the days of the Invasion of Gilneas, but it was destroyed by the invading Horde armies.

The barony fell in obscurity four centuries after it's founding, following the deaths of nearly all the members of the House of Chester. When a group of bandits sacked the seat of power of the noble house, they were nearly made defunct. Unknown to them, the Lady Chester had escaped with her unborn son, and the bloodline continued elsewhere.

With the ruling house believed defunct, the barony was absorbed within the Range, although it is one of the few remaining areas in the Headlands that remains destroyed, although reconstruction of Edenford has began.
