Hauchletzte



The Duchy of Hauchletzte is a region in the southwestern 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 Immerdink to the North
 * The duchy of Drewanchel to the Northeast
 * The duchy of Kirschnereit to the East
 * The duchy of Ossvault to the Southeast
 * an unnamed country to the Southwest

Hauchletzte contains the country gate to the neighboring country.

Their duchy colour is purple and their symbol is a unicorn.

Hauchletzte is on the coasts of an ocean, which also borders the duchies of Ossvault, Quiandtreeb and Losregner.

Currently, Hauchletzte has three archduke candidates at the Royal Academy, a 15 year old girl and her younger brother, as well as their recently adopted 10 year old sister.

Hauchletzte was once famous for it's maritime goods. When the Civil War happened, the country gate in the ocean, was closed and due to the lack of a Grutrissheit, Zent Trauerqual was unable to open it again. With the part of the ocean within Yurgenschmidt not having many rivers ending in it, the ocean has been steadily shrinking ever since, throwing the economies of the duchies on it's coasts into disarray, with Hauchletzte being one of them.

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 Hauchletzte adopts a 10 year old girl into his family, the year after the discoveries are made public.
