Ehrenfest (Duchy)



The Duchy of Ehrenfest is a region on the eastern edge of the Kingdom of Yurgenschmidt. It is currently governed by Sylvester Ehrenfest, holding the position of Aub (indicating that he governs the area with the full authority and trust of the Sovereignty) and the title of the Archduke (indicating that, among duchies, this one is particularly powerful and likely has special trust and confidence of the Sovereign).

The capital of the territory is the City of Ehrenfest.

The territory is bordered by the following other territories:
 * The duchy of Ahrensbach to the South
 * The duchy of Klassenberg to the North
 * The duchy of Frenbeltag to the Southwest
 * The duchy of Zausengas to the Northwest
 * An unnamed other nation to the East/Northeast

Several years ago there was a coup within the Sovereignty. Though Ehrenfest formally stayed neutral in the conflict, many nobles from the region died and others moved to other territories. Due to this, Ehrenfest, like all nations of the Sovereignty, is suffering a severe shortage of mana, causing much difficultty. Many nobles who had been sent to the temple were called back to their families, in turn causing a secondary mana shortage in the temple.


 * Nobles of Ehrenfest receive an ocher/yellow cloak when they go to the Royal Academy. The ocher colour is the Ehrenfest ducal colour.
 * The banner animal of the Duchy is the lion. Only members of the Archducal family are allowed to use a winged lion as their Highbeast and only the Aub may use a three-headed, winged lion.
