Scathril

Scathril was a duchy of the kingdom of Phalorm founded by King Javilarhh I as a wedding gift for the benefit of his new wife's family. Founded in the Year of the Unwavering Glare (510 DR), the duchy stretched across the south eastern flank of Phalorm in the Open Marches between the Lizard Marsh and the Trollbark Forest. The duchy lasts for barely a century before the Stoneblade line founders once more on the Hag Curse of Athalantar in the Year of the Shattered Scepter (614 DR) and the duchy is absorbed by Haryd I into the lands of Delimbiyran, the Kingdom of Man.

History

The duchy of Scathril was bestowed upon Turvan Stoneblade, descendant of the last ruler of long-fallen Athalantar, by his brother-in-law Javilarhh I of Phalorm. Turvan had married Javilarhh’s sister Nareetha in the Year of the Unwavering Glare (510 DR) thereby bringing together two storied lineages of the North.

Turvan was granted rulership over the cleared region between the Lizard Marsh and the Trollbark Forest and his seat of rule was established at Scathril, a now-vanished holding on the coastal promontory north of the long-destroyed Seatower of Ilinyth.

Being of the royal line of Athalantar, Turvan and his successors were victims of the Hag Curse of Aratanta and it is thought that the dukes of Scathril slew at least a handful of hagborn progeny in the years following the formation of the Realm of Three Kings. Legend has it that the Lady Kalra, sister of Duke Turvan, fled Scathril in 548 DR when with child, dismayed at what the portents revealed regarding the impending birth. Kalra was never seen or heard of again, but the rise in hag activity in the northern environs of the Trollbark Forest over the following decades, point to a horrible fate for her and the genesis of the blight on the region that would in time become known as the Haglands.

The dukes of Scathril were warlike and eager for the fray, with at least five lords dying in battles for Phalorm. In the waning days of the Kingdom, with their lands beset, the line of Turvan was undone when three ruling dukes were slain in the space of three scant years and the hoped for heir of Baerild was hagborn. The Stoneblade male line was ended prior to the demise of Phalorm proper, and their holding absorbed by Haryd I into the lands of Delimbiyran, the Kingdom of Man.
