=The Kingdom of Three Hooks=

Three Hooks
Formerly: The Kingdom of Gildenhoch, The Kingdom of Guilderhoek, Court of the Goldenhook.

A small border province at some time or other claimed by Campara, Daroon and Jagan. Now a sovereign kingdom backed by both Daroon Church, the Camparan Imperial line and the Goldenhook court-in-exile from Jagan.

The Camparan line of Gildenhoch, is a small, underappreciated noble line (that claims royalty). They owned and judged the area, but had lost almost all other sources of income or power. Since the declaration of sovereignty, Gildenhoch has started to decline both in power and riches.

The Daroon Guilderhoeks, on the other hand, abandoned their ancient claims to the land, turned to, and excelled in, trade. They now own most of the land and control the trade in the area. Since the declaration of sovereignty has thrown in their lot with the royal chair, amassing power and favors.

The Jagan Goldenhook court, lastly, had the strongest claim to the area, according to their own arcane laws. They formed a resistance to the "invaders" a long time ago, but most lapsed into brigandry and disinterest. The only thing that remained were the seelie courts of the Gold talons that eternally battled the humans, and themselves. Since the declaration of sovereignty it has begun to turn to policing, patrolling and taxing the local trade routes.
