Dunkelfelger



The Duchy of Dunkelfelger is a region on the southern edge of the kingdom of Yurgenschmidt, rated as a greater duchy.

The territory is bordered by the following other territories:
 * The duchy of Ahrensbach to the Northeast
 * The duchy of Neuhausen to the North
 * The duchy of Quandtreeb to the Northwest
 * The duchy of Losrenger to the West
 * The former territory of the duchy of Werkerstock to the North
 * an unnamed country to the South

After the civil war in the Sovereignty the territory of the Duchy of Berkerstock - located to Dunkelfelger's north - was split, with Ahrensbach being chosen to manage the northern half, while Dunkelfelge was put in charge of the southern half. They currently hold the second place in the duchy rankings, only being surpassed by Klassenberg.

That they were entrusted with this territory, as well as their high rank makes it very likely they had been allies of the current king during the civil war, but this has not yet been confirmed.

Dunkelfelger used to be pretty bad at ditter, but when a young student by the name of Rauffen entered the Royal Academy, he singlehandedly turned this around and caused the duchy to become the dominating force in the sport.

After his graduation Rauffen became a professor at the academy.

They have managed to keep this top spot ever since, though recently they did lose a match of Treasure Stealing Ditter against Ehrenfest to everyone's considerable surprise. Despite expectations the majority of students from Dunkelfelger do not seem to begrudge Ehrenfest for this loss and are quite eager for a re-match, though Lestilaut's sister Hannelore would still like to apologize for her brother's rude behaviour in the incident leading up to the match.


 * Nobles of Dunkelfelger receive a blue cloak when they go to the Royal Academy. The blue colour is the Dunkelfelger ducal colour.
