The heart of the Duchy is the great city of Ascaeria in the fertile plains of the grasslands. The Duchy’s crown jewel, the hub and center of commerce and the seat of government.
House Ortherion has ruled Aquitania with a just and fair hand for many decades, recently having further solidified their lands with the addition over the former Waerd Duchy of Brineia. Aquitania is a land of opportunity having a very large Grasslands and Semi-Arid Desert Biomes to live out your adventures in Elyria.

As such, I welcome all like-minded individuals from Elyria to consider Aquitania your home in the Neran Grasslands or to find your adventure in the mysterious riches of the Waerd Semi-Arid Desert.
Community comes first for your Duke, I will strive to make Aquitania a place that is fun to live, play and adventure.

House Ortherion has ruled wisely and fairly over His Aquitanian subjects, citizens of Tyria for many decades. The Dukes word is his bond. His Grace expects fair and honorable dealings, break our bonds and suffer very grave consequences.
It is expected for all Nobility, Aristocracy, Gentry and Citizens of the Duchy to pay taxes. Which sole purpose is for the betterment of the Duchy such as infrastructure, safety and Defense of the Realm. Taxes will not be used for the enrichment of the Nobility or House Ortherion.
We are RP friendly and do understand that RP is not for everyone, we ask that RP should be respected if encountered.
Understand that House Ortherion priorities are the survival of House Ortherion and His Family, then the Duchy, however that being said. House Ortherion will fully commitment to the betterment of the Duchy, providing for a strong economy, fair dealings, enforcement of contracts, to inspire growth and prosperity for His loyal subjects. Provide for Law and Order that will be kept for the benefit of all citizens and justice equally rendered for His subjects.
