Duchy Information
Immerdink's duchy colour is Dark green[1] and its crest features a feycreature that resembles a Bear.[1]
| Last Known Rank | Name | Status | Colour | Key Crest Component |
|---|---|---|---|---|
In Year 2, Immerdink was last known to be Eleventh.[2] In Year 3, the Top 13 were known and Immerdink was not amongst them. Thus, Immerdink currently must be at least Fourteenth or lower.
After the Lanzenave Invasion was defeated, and new duchies Blumenfeld and Korinthsdaum were founded in Year 5[3], and assuming all duchy ranks were simply pushed down, Immerdink is potentially even lower.
Borders
The territory is bordered by the following other territories:
- The duchy of Gilessenmeyer to the Northeast
- The duchy of Drewanchel to the East
- The duchy of Hauchletzte to the South
- An unnamed country to the West

History
In the recent past, Immerdink has been the ranked Tenth, but after Rozemyne's first year at the Royal Academy, it has been displaced by Ehrenfest rise and fallen to the Eleventh place.[2]
Story
Part 4 Volume 7
The year after Ehrenfest overtook them in the rankings, an archnoble from Immerdink attacks Lady Rozemyne of Ehrenfest. He claims that he tried to attack Hartmut and only hit Rozemyne by accident. Despite this and the attack being a very minor one, clearly meant to humiliate rather than cause serious injury, this still causes a diplomatic incident and contributes to Immerdink falling further in the rankings.
In the same year, a group of rebels from duchies dissolved after the civil war employs ternisbefallen to launch a surprise attack on the royal family during the award ceremony. While the disgraced nobles throw themselves at the royal and the Sovereignty knights, the feybeasts go wild and attack anything near them. One of the beasts appeared right inside the spot designated for the Immerdink students and causes major casualties, with several of their students being killed and many more injured.[4]
Part 5 Volume 2
The following year, Immerdink wishes to participate in the joint research project between Dunkelfelger and Ehrenfest meant to investigate the finer mechanics behind obtaining divine protections from the gods. Their archduke candidate Murrenreue is able to convince Lady Rozemyne to allow this, but since it is a joint research project Dunkelfelger must also give their permission. They are not opposed to more students from other duchies joining the ritual they will enact, but make it a condition that any participants need to play them in treasure-stealing ditter first. With both the apprentice knight roster and their resources being severely depleted, Immerdink has to choice but to give up on participating, despite being the ones who gave Lady Rozemyne the idea to let other duchies join the ritual in the first place.[5]
