Orendras
Orendras is a duchy in the realm of Obrith. It began as the March of the Morrowood, one of the lands ruled by the High Lords of the Crownlands, part of the Kingdom of the Sword. It was ceded to the Kingdom by grant of High Priestess Anghelmor of Morrowyn, part of the concessions leading to the Peace of the Oath.
It is most notable as the home of Oathkeep, and later Orendon, although the city is not technically governed by the duchy, and remains a special administrative district under the Church of the One.
The current ruler of Orendras is Her Ladyship, Jarla Rulenka Argard, Rulenka Magna in the local tongue.
