West Fleria

Domain · Dissolved · Barony of Fleria

The hostile hill-<em>domain</em> of Sire Gimbal the Warbird — a vassal-held sub-lordship of the Barony of Fleria, run as near-totally independent until its master besieged Sevendor and lost everything.

West Fleria was a domain within the Barony of Fleria, not a proper barony in its own right. When the old Baron of Fleria divided his lands to keep his two sons from killing each other, the elder, Gimbal, insisted on near total independence for his half and began calling his younger brother Vulric's portion "East Fleria" out of spite. Gimbal paid only a token tribute to Vulric and ruled West Fleria as if he were himself a baron — earning the nickname the Warbird for a generation of aggressive expansion against weaker neighbours, particularly Trestendor.

Gimbal relentlessly harassed Sevendor in Magelord, culminating in an open siege that ended in a crushing defeat of the Warbird's forces. West Fleria was broken apart, its lands forfeit, and large portions were granted to Sevendor and its allies. Sire Gimbal himself was ruined, his banner effectively extinct; the domain name survives mostly as a geographic reference to the western gap between Sevendor and Trestendor. Its tenant domains later became the core of the new Barony of Taravanal.
