Earls of Misthelm are lords and ladies enfiefed within the County of Misthelm, or in personal service to the Count. They can range in power from knight-errants who plow land of their own to ruling as minor lords in their own right. Used as a title of respect among the northerners that call Misthelm their home, it is known to be awarded honorarily to the friends of the Count.
The Count of Misthelm asserts authority over the northern reaches of Ascalon over which their green banners hold sway.
Misthelm is a land of rolling plains and misty hills. Its southern fringes are marked by the northernmost extent of the Coiwood. Its flanks are distinguished by the barren grasslands which provide her riders. A traveler may find themselves without a sip to drink for days without the guidance of her native people in these regions.
The Northmen, Ascalonians and Rathgari who call Misthelm their home, are known for their hospitality and hardy nature due to the tough clime of these lands. The Green Bear of Misthelm roars over the walled towns and villages, and the people can be seen to adorn themselves with green quartz and other trinkets.
Havengate, the ancestral home of the Halfhaven, has a storied history as a border keep which has seen many battles over the decades. Slumberstone, the capital of Misthelm, has stood as a bastion of the rulers of this realm since the Flambards first called it their home.
"In Misthelm, the very land shapes the identity of its people." Duke Caspian Flambard
