Using a following of loyal huntsmen, he expanded his fief to form his forested fiefdom with amble food supplies.

(So it's the Tannen's Hook Peninsula, not the Cracklaw Peninsula, right?)
(Also, it seems the Cracklaw forest is split between the Huntsman Clad and the Warrior Alistair... With Clad taking the north and Alistair retaining the South.) |

((Yeah, last minute changes are a bietch! XD
And yes, they are. Keep in mind that you can add in mountains or hills. Mountains slow troop movement and provide cover in castles, but hills are better for ambushes and bleeding an invading army.
The mountains are less effective since they slow both ambushes and large armies, but they usually allow for mines.)) |

(I'll stick with plain thick forests... Prevents siege equipment from finding any high ground over the trees, and is a absolute hell for any cavalry while allowing my huntsmen clear shooting ranges between the trees.)
(So, when do we start?) |

(I hope you don't mind I post my sheet as it is now so that people don't steal the idea. I'll submit the real stuff once I think it's ready)
(house whitehill clone ftw!)
Character:
Name- [Orvan] von [Stonehark]
Age- 28
Appearance- Few has seen Lord Stonehark in person, but the ones that have speak of a man that holds power above all that bear witness. Although not as muscular as his other brothers, accounts tell [WIP]
Fief Name- Mormaership of [Stonehark]
Fief- Located southeast of Lake Honrich, just outside the surrounding the road.
Fief Description- [EXPORTS] -Iron -Gold -Shields
[IMPORTS] -Wood -Foodstuff(bread, meat, fishes, etc) -Horses
[PRODUCTION] -Shields -Armor -Weapons(Swords, axes, maces, etc)
[RESOURCES] -The Stonehark Towers mines, where all the good stuff comes from.
Fief Population- 1,256,000 of common peasants, and counting.
Fief Geography- Mostly consisting of barren fields and hills, not much of the land here is suitable for farm growth. Food and cavalry are, although not unheard of, is still scarce around these parts. The fief's main source of income, therefore, comes from their access to possibly the region's largest natural structure; To the southeast of the Mormaership, lies the 'Stonehark Towers', a clustered series of mountains where they obtain their vast amounts of metal. Behind the Tower's first layer of mountain pillars is the hill which holds up Stonehark's castle capital, as named below.
Fief Capital- [Castle] [Stonehark]
Bio- [WIP] (How you came to power, etc.)

-Alistair-
Von Tannengard watched as the brown boar neared, both the banner and his intriguing brother. The branches of the Kingsroad converged just up ahead, and the two were just on-tame for a roadside meeting. "Lord von Granus!" he called as the two parties neared. When they were close enough, he dismounted and approached to exchange an embrace with possibly his only friend in their dysfunctional family.
"I suppose you've heard the news of the Steward?" |

-Clad-
"Perhaps so, Tannengard. Perhaps... Though with the Duke close at my doorstep, I do have to weigh every matter personally... But as long as we don't go to throats over matters, the Duke isn't in control. At least it's a good omen to start off with good company." Clad shrugs his shoulders, dismounted as well and still in his leather armor.
"If worst comes to worst, I can see no better Lord like yourself to stand with." Clad adds, looking over the city... And what possible conflicts, what possible traps, what possibly should be hunted. |

-Alistair-
The knight Mormaer listens carefully to his words, nodding as he goes on. He shakes his head at the last part, however. "I fear Duke Sigismund will care little how our politics work out. Erstes is a powerful presence, and the Earl's Widow, as our Lady Stepmother is calling herself now, has designs on Arescod."
He smiled thinly. "Ah, our father's wife always was a greedy b ! tch. My sources in Erstes tell me that the Duke expects forty thousand men to gather in his great city." |

-Clad-
"Right, right... The Widow can go to hell... But 40,000 men?... A army that size, he'll need to move through Sherwood... And that runs straight into our brothers around the Lake. Or, he goes straight to Arescod through Northwood." Clad details the Duke's possible war path.
"Any number of places, the Duke will be going through ambush areas... Instead of pitching a battle, we can nip his heels... A few sentries here, a column of men-at-arms there, maybe a few knights... This, of course, is all planned in the very case he goes through Northwood. If he goes through Sherwood, hopefully he will incur enough casualties to let us pitch battle as we see fit. For, unless he is brought to heel with no option but to fight in Arescod, he will be the rat he is and get away."
"Then... We can get to electing the next true earl... And I do very well hope one of us claims it." Clad clasps his junior's shoulder, very much being brotherly. |

"I'm afraid not, Brother," Alistair finishes as he mounts up again. He does not ride off, however. "Duke Sigismund is held in high regard by the Barons once serving our father, what with the Widow warming his sheets suddenly. You forget that none of us are legitimate. We must prove that we are held to the same standard as everyone else in the eyes of God through a pitched battle."
He shook his head, Jory and the men watching closely as he did so. "Besides, I suspect that forty thousand underestimates his strength. Some say the Crown Prince supports the Duke. Prince Athelstan has no love for the Earls who still hold the Old Ways. He likes the name of a Duke much more, and if he so chose, he could give more troops to the erstwhile Sigismund.
"And let us not forget our brothers in the East. They will see this Earldom conquered before they give up their claim to it." |
