Pellisberg

This page is missing information from Call of the Father The southernmost of the four Mordish counties, Pellisberg is known for its main city Cape Red and the foods of the Annin Peninsula. Ruled by the Oratanil family, Pellisberg has historically enjoyed trade with Roadon, Toalla, and the Dral’Kaar.

In AeP 446 Pellisberg was found to be inciting rebellion after they betrayed the Mordish Birding Society. In the following months the Kaiser sent legions of troops and dozens of Iron Tempest Commandos to pacify the county and arrest the Count.

Annin Peninsula
Across the bay from Roadon, is the Annin Peninsula. Named for one of the great mortal heroes from the War of Ascendance, Annin is a warm fertile land, scattered with large towns. Most of Annin falls under the jurisdiction of Welossin Vicounty. The Annin Peninsula is covered in forests of wide trees and lush grass. It is mostly flat ground. In the northwest the forests thin and turn to wide plains. The people of Annin produce large amounts of crops including olives, citrus fruit, rice, and grapes. Many of these grapes are turned into the famous Pellisberg white wine, most of which comes from the Count’s own vineyards. The wine from the Count’s fields is known as Three Dolphins White and costs a hefty sum.

Evert Gate
A large town of nearly a thousand people, Evert Gate is located a few miles from the west coast. Evert Gate is mainly a farming town, lacking a formal university like most large Mordish settlements. The most notable feature of the town is the large set of brass doors in the main plaza. The doors are the remnants of a fortress of mortals from the War of Ascendance. Humans were driven from the fortress and only reclaimed the town after the end of the war. Now Evert Gate is a sprawling town with no wall. It has wide streets, a central market, outlying farms, and a large library run by the town’s lord. A large stream runs through the town, west towards the sea. Several mills are built around this stream that allow the people of Evert Gate to grind rice and produce clothes.

In recent months, Every Gate has hosted a company of the Kaiser’s troops and a squad of Iron Tempest Commandos. After the arrival of troops, Evert Gate has avoided any fighting in the war. However in the first few months, the Count’s troops set fire to the surrounding fields.

Adwendale
Adwendale was a small town, only a couple days northeast of Evert Gate. It had a population of about three hundred. There was one temple to all the mortal gods and one tavern in the town. To the east were farms and to the north an olive grove owned by a local earl and maintained by the town lord. During the early months of the Mordish Civil War, Adwendale was occupied by the Pellisberg Militia. On Shyllin's day, there was a farmers and artists market in the town square.

Cape Red
Cape Red is the largest settlement in Pellisberg. It is known for its magic school, fisheries, and the rare herbs that grow on the banks of the Cape. Cape Red takes its name from the yearly algal bloom every Ghuramus. The waters outside the city grow dark red for nearly a month. Cape Red is the smallest Mordish city and the only one not home to a major political power. It is rich in culture, known as a city of scholars, and famous for its sprawling wooden architecture.

The Vault
Once on the border of three countries, the Vault now sits on the line between Roadon and Mordehall. The Vault is the home of the Dral’Kaar and sworn to be neutral in conflicts of mortals, but that doesn’t stop them from doing trade with Pellisberg. Members of the Dral’Kaar are also known to travel to Cape Red to attend the magic college. Dral’Kaar patrols have been spotted in Pellisberg up to a few dozen miles from the Vault. This is loosely tolerated by the Count and Kaiser, who do nothing only because of the amount of Mordish goods the Vault buys every year.

Mordish Civil War
Pellisberg was the first major battlefield in the Mordish Civil War. In the first weeks of AeP 447 the Kaiser’s troops descended on the county from land and sea. This corresponed to a series of assassination of nobles and high ranking memebers of Pellisberg society. In response the Count declared war on the Kaiser and expelled his troops and took several nobles allied to the Crown hostage. In the following month the initial battle lines were drawn, with each noble and town declaring either for the Count of Kaiser. Some nobles had little choice, being forced to ally with whoever had troops in their land. There have been few large scale fights, instead small skirmishes of troops and strike teams delving into enemy lines. By Cainus, it seemed that this fight would go on for months or years, with each side reluctant to engage in large scale conflict. The month of Cainus brought shifting alliances, new battle lines, an influx of more crown troops into the County, and the drafting of many people into the Count’s army.

Other Events
In Sharus of AeP 446, Lord Keel launched an expedition to the Southern Isles from Cape Red.

People
Dan Irem was an agent of the Count. He disappeared near Pruzer after failing to steal the enchantment notes of Janie Kerias. He worked with a group of agents that included Terrance.
