This month we continue our look
through the southwestern Flanaess,
also known as the Sheldomar Valley,
for the mighty river that runs through
most of its length.
GRAN MARCH
The army of the Gran March is
organized into “battles”; units of
roughly regimental strength (between
1,000 and 2,000 men, or thereabouts).
Most of that force is superb mailed
cavalry, but there are some foot used
as skirmishers and scouts as well. The
army is disbursed throughout the land,
but can be marshalled at either
Hookhill or Shiboleth in but a fornight’s
time at need.
AS of CY 578, the standing army of
the Gran March is distributed in the
following garrisons. Those on the
outer borders of the March send out
regular patrols along the border to
intercept bandits and monsters who
might wish to enter. Those in the
interior do so as well, albeit with less
frequency unless alerted to some

danger. The March relies on its
professional soldiery rather than levies
as a point of pride, although in an
emergency squires and so forth could
be put into the field, adding another
1,000 or so medium cavalry, albeit not
of veteran quality.
Unless otherwise specified, all
cavalry is medium, wears chainmail
and shield, and is armed with lance,
crossbow, and sword.

DRAGONNE 19

KINGDOM OF KEOLAND
The kingdom of Keoland is unique in
the Flanaess, inasmuch as it is a major
power that does not have an enemy
on its borders. With the exception of
occasional outbreaks of banditry and
brigandage in the hinterlands, and
pirate raids on its short coastline,
Keoland is at peace.
King Skotti has started a campaign
to bring his nominal vassals into a
more overtly subservient role. While
some fear this might mark a return to
the Imperial policies of the past, Skotti
forcefully defends his policy, regarding
it as nothing more than collecting his
due as the de jure liege lord of border
states such as Sterich.
In response to the raids by giants
and humanoids into Sterich, the king
has dispatched an army to assist his
vassal, even though such aid was not
requested. This army, led by General
Hivar Ripthorn (Cav13) and currently
wintering in Flen and Godakin Keep,
consists of the following, as of CY 578.
It has been drawn from the regular
forces stationed in the western
provinces, as well as a large
contingent of levies raised for this
purpose.
• 500 light cavalry with lance,
crossbow, and javelins,
wearing padded or studded
armor
• 1,500 light cavalry with spear
and shield (200 of these are in
Godakin Keep at any given
time, as an advance force)
• 3,000 medium infantry with
halberds, wearing chainmail
• 500 light halfling infantry with
slings
• 750 light gnome infantry with
spears

The Viscounty of Salinmoor is much
more highly armed than most of
Keoland, as it is on the front line of
dealing with pirate raids, and the
Viscount has been tasked with
pushing back forcefully against such.
As of CY 578, the Viscount has the
following forces:

The Hool Marsh Protectorate
maintains its own force, separate from
that of the rest of the kingdom. It is led
by Captain Sir Miran Gelt (Cav9), a
capable but unimaginative
commander. The entire force is based
out of Waycombe, and consists of the
following Marsh Wardens (also known
as “the Frogs”):
• 60 light infantry with slings
• 100 light cavalry with spears
and shields
The Marsh Wardens have a unique
uniform of green and brown, and bear
the symbol of a brass frog on a green
field, giving them their nickname.
As with the other nations in the
Sheldomar Valley, human troops can
be represented by miniatures from the
late medieval/early Renaissance era.
The light cavalry of Keoland can be
displayed with Grenadine or
Andalusian troops.
DUCHY OF ULEK
With the expulsion of the humanoid
menace from the Lortmils, and a
friendly neighbor to the west in
Keoland, the need for a large standing
army has not been a requirement for
the Duke of Ulek.
He maintains a small but efficient
force, which as of CY 578 are as
follows:
• 100 heavy cavalry with lance
and sword or axe, wearing
plate mail and shield
• 150 medium cavalry with
sword, axe, or mace, wearing
chainmail and shield
• 150 light elvish cavalry with
sword and longbow, wearing
leather or studded armor
• 200 medium crossbowmen
wearing chainmail
• 200 medium infantry wielding
bills, wearing chainmail
• 200 light elvish infantry with
longbows, wearing leather or
studded armor
Half of these troops are quartered in
the capital, Tringlee, with the rest
spread evenly between Waybury,
Winterdorf, Axegard, and Adurlell.
The force in Adurlell is known as the
Trappers, bears as its symbol a steel
beartrap on a green background, and
counts as elite troops, having seen
much action in the Hateful Wars, and
been granted the singular honor by the
Duke of bearing its own colors in
thanks for its efforts in defeating the
uruz in the efforts to conquer the Pass
of Ulek.
In addition, the nobles can raise
levies consisting of the following can
be raised in times of emergency. Ten
percent of them are under arms in the
various nobles’ possessions at any
given time.
• 1,000 light infantry with spears
• 1,000 light elvish infantry with
swords and longbows, wearing
leather or studded armor
• 400 medium gnomish infantry
with spears
Many humans in the Duchy of Ulek
are, in fact, half-elven, so if such
figures are available, they would be
suitable for the Duke’s troops.
Otherwise, conventional late middle
ages/early Renaissance figures would
be appropriate.
COUNTY OF ULEK
Much like his neighbor to the north,
the Count of Ulek has little to fear from
his neighbors, and thus does not need
to maintain a large standing force. As
of CY 578, the Count’s armies consist
of the following:
• 400 medium cavalry with
sword, mace, or axe, wearing
chainmail and shield
• 500 heavy infantry with bills,
wearing plate mail
• 800 light halfling infantry with
slings
• 1,000 light gnome infantry with
spears
Almost this entire force is quartered
at Jurnre, except for 100 halflings
stationed at Fort Kenderena on the
DRAGONNE 23
banks of the Kewl River just south of
the city of Kewlbanks, and 20% of the
total force which is rotated in and out
of the town of Altimira on the eastern
slopes of the Lortmils. These troops
provide protection against intrusion
from the still-dangerous Suss Forest.
In times of emergency another
1,000 light infantry with spear and 200
light infantry with slings can be called
up from the noble levies.
Standard late medieval/early
renaissance figures would serve for
the armies of the Count of Ulek.
PRINCIPALITY OF ULEK
The Prince of Ulek, unlike
his neighbors to the north, does
indeed have a warlike and
aggressive neighbor, and thus has
need of many more troops. That
neighbor is, of course, the Pomarj
to the east, and the many humanoid,
bandit, brigand, and other power
groups that dwell within.
As of the end of CY 578, the bulk of
the Prince’s army is encamped across
the Jewel River southeast of Eastboro,
in the Pomarj, having failed to capture
Strandkeep Castle by siege. They are
under the command of Baron Ulrich
Threechins (F14).
As many as 3,000 human levies
were part of the army, but returned to
their homes to complete the harvest
and next year’s planting. They are
expected to return thereafter.
The expeditionary force consists of
the following:
• 5,000 heavy dwarven infantry
with axes or swords, wearing
plate mail and shield
• 600 medium dwarven infantry
with crossbows and swords,
wearing chainmail
REAPING 581
• 2,000 medium cavalry with
swords, axes, or maces,
wearing chainmail and shield
• 300 gnome engineers
(currently engaged in
constructing new siege
equipment to replace that lost
at Strandkeep Castle)
It should be noted that 10% of this
force will be in Eastboro at any given
time, rotated out on leave.
With the exception of the royal
garrison at Gryrax, the remainder of
the Prince’s armies are in the east of
the nation, either mustering to support
the army of Baron Ulrich or
maintaining a guard against incursions
from the Suss Forest.

The human forces of the Prince of
Ulek can be shown on the tabletop
with miniatures from the late
medieval/early Renaissance era.
Dwarf and halfling miniatures are fairly
common in a variety of scales, but
care should be taken not to include
any with firearms, which are unknown
and cannot function on Oerth.
