Description: The Earldom of the Brave Romance is composed of a large island (also called Analee), covered mainly in forests but with about a third cut down for farmlands. It is typically shrouded in what may be called either mist or fog, depending on your personal poetic preferences, although "fog" is more common. The most notable indigenous species are a type of large, flightless robin (called the Sunrise Robin for the male's plumage) and Morningglow, a bush which grows sweet, juicy berries that make a fine wine. The forests are full of natural beauty and animals which do not fear humans. While the Earl has restricted hunting to a bare minimum, nonhunters are perfectly allowed to enjoy the forests. Much money flows into the Earldom from noble couples coming here, or rich singles searching for something. Many artists, especially authors, reside in the Earldom, creating art known the world over. A more tangible export is the products of the Morningglow bush, notably the famed Sun Wine made from the berries. Timertikos is a fairly laiezz-faire ruler, for the time; individual towns have a remarkable degree of independence. Despite this, the Earldom has a fairly well-trained militia which is known to be very loyal to the Earl.
