The Bossonian Marches

Overview

Land east of the Thunder River, between the Westermarck and the Shiriki River.

A province of Aquilonia.

The Bossonian Marches have long kept Aquilonia’s north and western borders safe from Cimmerians and Picts, but despite this debt, Aquilonians regard the land as little more than a quaint and rustic province to be squandered. The land itself is a verdant one of hilly woodlands and open stretches of grassy plains that are excellent for farming and herding, and for this reason generations of Aquilonian kings have awarded large swaths of the best land to their barons and the landed gentry, who in some cases use the lands as hunting grounds or their own estates.

Some people include the lands east of the Thunder River (the Westermarck) and the lands around where the Thunder River meets the Shiriki River (the province of Tauran) in the Bossonian Marches.

Politics

The provincial capital is Scandaga. The governor, Count Radogund, spends about half her time in her palace here, the rest of the time in Tarantia.

Count Radogund is known to be a cautious ally of King Conan.
