Carrelath

Carrelath Barony was a part of the monarchy of Erlkazar encompassing the territory of the Kuldin Peaks.

Description
The Kuldin Peaks contained garrisons for Erlkazar's army. The troops guarded the gap in the Iltkazar Range and defended the headwaters of the Shining Stream. In addition, Carrelath contained a few small mining villages and religious sites.

Geography
The barony was the westernmost of Erlkazar's five baronies. It bordered Impresk in the north, Shalanar in the east, and Tanistan in the south.

The entire territory was foothills, passes, or mountains of the Kuldin Peaks.

Government
While in name ruled by a baron, in truth the true power rested in the hands of a shield dwarven priest, as had been the case since the time of Shanatar.
