Westgauen

The Kingdom of the Westgauen (literally Kingdom of the Western Shires) is a feudal kingdom in the northwest of the continent, consisting of the Western reaches of the former Northern Empire. Following the collapse of the Empire, the Westgauen banded together as a loose confederation that gradually evolved into a feudal monarchy with its capital at the old Western Imperial capital of Neuhochburg. Largely concerned with its own feudal affairs and the tensions over the rights to leave the bay levied by the Magisterium of Cadaemar, who look down on the Westgauers, the Westgau is a traditional feudal society. Its people are renowned for their friendliness, brewing the best mead and beer outside of the Dwarven holds of the mountain ranges.
