Barony of Hiborane

The reasonably sized Barony of Hiborane is situated below the frosty peaks of the Alterac Mountains and near the vital town of Strahnbrad. Once under the leadership of Tadmor Carrington, it was seized by the Alliance of Lordaeron after Tadmor was convicted of treason and later imprisoned.

Years later the region would somehow end up in the hands of Letholdus Carrington, Tadmor's father, and back under the sway of the House of Carrington. Despite being in the core of syndicate activity, the territory's economy and populace has managed to stay protected from the pestilent knaves that roam the area.

Geography
Trapped bitterly in an eternal winter, most of the small villages are beautiful spectacles of the winter season; with naked trees, glittering snowflakes, and frozen lakes that rival the majesty of Lordamere Lake.

Green pines speckled with still snow define the blanketed landscape, and provide the villagers small defense against the treacherous winds that forcefully blow throughout the silent mountain range.

Those who visit the province often find that the bleak winter weather is depressing, but the villagers constantly disagree. Clouds of monumentous smoke float towards the bright blue sky, forged by hundreds of small rumbling furnaces.
