Cìrion

The County of Cìrion (KEE-ri-on) is a realm within the Empire of Ischanor, vassal to the Kingdom of Lisvar. Located in the taiga forests of the kingdom, Cìrion is bordered by Lisvar City and Bachengart to the west, and Demora to the south.

History
The earliest civilizations in what is now the modern-day Cìrion were sparsely populated villages inhabited by peoples part of the Proto-Ojszari ethnolinguistic group. The origins of the realm itself are closely tied with the rise of the noble Des Feuers family, founded by Vojin Ohně subsequent to his legendary slaying of the ferocious black dragon that once terrorized the area in the tumultuous period following the fall of Empire of Vinitica.

Vojin would become renowned throughout the realm and would be hailed as leader of the local populace. Beginning as a lesser noble family who ruled from their manorial estate, the descendants of Vojin, known as Lothair in the present, would continuously expand the realm over the next several centuries. The family held a keen aptitude for stewardship and made prudent financial decisions that benefited their realm in the long run. They invested in infrastructure projects, expanded their farmlands, and built mighty castles, allowing them to amass more power and wealth in each subsequent generation. To forestall a possible invasion by the rising Kingdom of Vangar, the realm agreed to pay significant tribute in exchange for its continued sovereignty. With the fall of the Kingdom of Vangar and the subsequent rise of Lisvar, diplomatic efforts of Lisvar convinced the realm to join as a vassal approximately 150 years prior to the present day as a powerful County.

Government
Cìrion is led by a single count, Ulrich des Feuers, with his only son, J.P. des Feuers as the guaranteed heir to the throne. The count is assisted by a chancellor, who takes care of important documents within the realm and advises the count on important decisions. The position is currently occupied by Oskar Berdorin, the youngest chancellor on record.
