Heraldry of Lyonesse.

The dukedom of Lyonesse is situated on the north-western coast of Bretonnia. It's bordered by L'Anguille, Artois and Mousillon.[4a]

Possessing a large coastline Lyonesse is occasionally plagued by seaborne raiders like the barbaric Norscans and the ruthless Dark Elves. There is also an ancient feud and rivalry with L'Anguille, which sometimes leads to minor skirmishes and border clashes. [1b]

Geography

The Dukedom has a rugged coast with many small islands where most of the coastal villages are located. Northern Lyonesse is hilly, many of the mounds having cave complexes that lead down into underground rivers. In the south there are dozens of small rivers and lakes becomming marshland near Mousillon. [4a]

History

When the Fay Enchantress denounced Merovech, the Duke of Mousillon, several nobles of Mousillon renounced their oaths of loyalty towards him and pledged their loyalty and allegiance to the Duke of Lyonesse. [2b]

As a consequence the Lyonesse-Mousillon border was "pushed" southwards; Lyonesse annexed substantial territory becoming one of the larger provinces of Bretonnia. [3][2b][2c]

During the reign of Louen Leoncoeur, Lord Aenur arrived to reclaim relics from the ruins of Athel Menya and offended the local Duke, Francois le Noir. This led to first a tournament and then a battle between the Bretonnians and the Elves which eneded with Aenur returning home with the relics but promising to return to refight the tournament in a years time. [5a]

Locations

  • Athel Menya: Ruins of a High Elf City on the coast. [5a]
  • Castle Lyonesse, the political centre of the dukedom, is built upon a very large and heavily fortified island near the mainland. [1a]
  • D'Ason: A small town that includes the Grail Chapel of Adelhard the Second where the trebuchet was invented.[2a]

People

The Lyonens are well known for their feuds and scheming. [4a]

Quotes

Always fighting each other, these Lyonens. Sometimes their schemes get so elaborate that they're actually fighting themselves. Plenty of work if you have wits and discretion.
