Province: Edgebrooke
Towns: Edgebrooke is the town from which the Lordship gains its' name. It is a moderately-sized walled town that lies in County ruled by House t'Cadri. It occupies a minor crossroads that is used by some of the pilgrims that travel to the Cathedral of Murnord, and thus enjoys a decent amount of trade from said travelers. A few smiths and other craftsmen are here as well, supporting the Knights and soldiers of House t'Synclarre. Resting alongside a large stream that runs down out of the northern mountains. While it boasts no cathedral, Edgebrooke does have a church that is larger and better-appointed than many that would serve such a town. There is a robust population of clergy and more than a few Templars that live in or near the town.
Aside from Edgebrooke, there are a few hamlets and villages dotting the fief, mostly serving as small farming communities, often looked after by landed Knights.
Fortifications: Edgebrooke Hall is the seat of House t'Synclarre. It is a decently-sized, fortified hall that sits on the banks of a wide stream. Aside from Edgebrooke Hall, there are a few watchtowers along the main roads, often strategically placed between some of the smaller communities to allow them to respond to events more efficiently.
Terrain: Edgebrooke is almost entirely comprised of mountain foothills and in the south rolling plains, though it rises to more mountainous and thickly-forested terrain at its' northern edge. The climate is generally quite pleasant in summer months, with temperatures rarely getting too hot, though winters can be frigid enough that the streams freeze over.
As a simple Lordship, House t'Synclarre has no houses that are vassals to it. It does have a double-handful of Landed knights and petty nobles (extended family of the main line of House t'Synclarre) as tenants, however.
Edgebrooke is known as a prime training ground for professional soldiers (especially knights and cavalry), as well as a good space for breeding horses. As such, House t'Synclarre makes a modest profit selling both their expertise as trainers and well-bred and trained warhorses (of the l'Corren stock, of course). Still, despite the brisk warhorse trade that the house does, the fiefdom's profits are mitigated by the expense of equipping and maintaining its' knight-heavy military forces (Indeed, only a quarter of the warhorse stock is even available for sale or trade since so many of them go to equipping the House's cavalry).
Edgebrooke also produces more than enough foodstuffs to be self-sufficient, and so sells the excess to its' neighbors. They could in theory increase their crop yields greatly, but much of the open space is used for the care and breeding of horses.
