Gilessenmeyer



The Duchy of Gilessenmeyer is a region in the northwestern parts of the kingdom of Yurgenschmidt, and currently holds the status of a middle duchy.

The territory is bordered by the following other territories:
 * The duchy of Jossbrenner to the Northeast
 * The duchy of Lehmbruck to the East
 * The duchy of Drewanchel to the South
 * The duchy of Immerdink to the Southwest
 * an unnamed country to the Northwest

Gilessenmeyer contains the country gate to the neighboring country.

Parts of Gilessenmeyer are within the area in which a Lord of Winter appears each year, albeit the area also overlaps with the neighboring duchy of Jossbrenner.

Currently, Gilessenmeyer has one archduke candidate at the Royal Academy, the first year student Luzinde.

Gilessenmeyer is a middle duchy that managed to shoot up in rank due to the Civil War. It isn't currently known if they remained neutral like Ehrenfest, or were on the winning side.

The first wife of King Trauerqual and mother to both Prince Sigiswald and Prince Anastasius was born and raised in Gilessenmeyer.

Following the revelations rediscovered in Ehrenfest and Dunkelfelger's joint research into the connection between Religious Ceremonies, genuine prayers and the number of divine protections one can obtain, many Aubs adopt children from their extended family, who were believed to fall just a bit short of the standards necessary to become a proper archduke candidate. For the same reason Aub Gilessenmeyer adopted an 11 year old boy into his family.


 * "Meyer" is very common in German-speaking areas as both a part of various last names or a last name in it's own right. There are also multiple spellings, all pronounced the same way, like Maier or Mayer for example.
