Marquisate of Avengene

The  was a domain within the Kingdom of Clairmont. Its west side was the Baronetcy of Norwit, the eastern half was conquered from the orcs or shaved off from the elfs.

The Avengene line was established when a younger son of a Baron of Hartmoor married the daughter of a Baron of Brickner, and carved out a barony, several generations before Brianna Barter's adevntures.

By 725, it had been ruled by Marquis Byron Avengene for a number of years. Under his father, Avengene had been a Barony. Byron's father was killed by the orcs, which angered Byron, and started him on his aggressive career as a warlord. Subsequently, Byron Avengene, then a Baron, expanded his holdings and proved indispensable to the King of Clairmont during border wars about around year 697; as a result the king made Avengene a Marquis.

After Byron's son, Reverend Evangeline Avengene, made the worship of the Vindicator the favored religion in the marquisate; Byron Avengene became adept at using the Church of the Vindicator as both the reason for his aggression, and an extension of his forces.
