from Parkstone’s The History of Damensea

Linwick and Blackham are mountainous duchies, and their hills grow into the peaks of the D’vark Mountains to the east.

Linwick

Ruling Family: Nolan

With rich deposits of coal, metal, and jewels, Linwick is the heart of mining in Calatini. Some deposits are infused with magic, and the more magic, the more valuable the deposit. The Mirror of Wisdom was crafted from silica and silver unearthed in one of these magical deposits. In addition to mining, Linwick specializes in refining, working, and crafting mined materials.

Blackham

Ruling Family: Dabar

Blackham boasts the only through pass in the D’vark Mountains. This duchy built roads and maintained the pass (and made certain no others were created.) After building roads, Blackham used their road crews to provide security for travelers. Blackham built (and now defend) roads past its borders and throughout Calatini.
