Carthan Duchy

The Duchy of Carthan (Carathan) is situated in the far southeast corner of the Arathi Highlands, and ranges from the eastern mountains to the far east coast. It is due south of the Duchy of Rockvale, and east of Karth County (which occupies the southeast portion west of the eastern mountains, known for contention with the Witherbark Trolls). Carthan was until recently a County under the direction of Force Commander Mathilan Lionblood, until the coup of the Mad Duke Tritus. After that point, Carthan extended it's regional power to include Estermont Vale, Eastwatch, Gelden Village, and Harton, and became a Duchy in it's own right.
