Geography:
Greenfield, the largest region in Rivermond, is a barony of immense geographical diversity, rich cultural tapestry, and formidable military strength. Its landscape is primarily characterized by flatlands and rocky areas, but it also boasts the rugged terrain of the Grandfield in the northwest, where hidden glades and grasslands are scattered amidst the mountains. This region is notorious for its wild dragons and wyverns, making it a treacherous yet mystical part of the barony. The Stormwoods, centrally located, add an element of danger and mystery, often avoided by commonfolk due to their deadly nature.
People and Economy:

This industrious city contributes significantly to the barony's economy through its mines and the craftsmanship of its blacksmiths and artisans. Shoremond, the bustling port city under the watch of the Holmes family, is a melting pot of cultures and trades, with merchants and sailors from distant lands mingling with local traders. Its economy thrives on maritime trade, fishing, and shipbuilding, making it a vital hub for commerce.

The city's inhabitants are renowned for their knowledge of dragon lore and their skills in training and riding these majestic creatures. Greenfield itself, the barony's capital, ruled by the Shores family and is a vibrant city where the Arcane Academy stands as a beacon of magical prowess.

Windelcrest, with its unique dragon-related commerce, offers rare dragon knowledge and gear, which are highly prized. Windelcrest also houses the Grandhalls College, a prestigious institution of higher learning that focuses on politics, history, and military strategy. It is renowned for its rigorous academic standards and its highly skilled faculty. The arcane academy in Greenfield also adds to the economy, as it attracts scholars, researchers, and students who contribute to the local economy through their patronage of goods and services.
Military Strength:
In terms of military strength, Greenfield stands as a formidable force within Rivermond. The barony can potentially raise an army of thirty thousand men during times of conflict. Each city within Greenfield contributes to this strength in distinctive ways. Windelcrest, known for its dragons, can field up to one thousand footsoldiers, two hundred Dragon Knights, and potentially fifty dragons, creating a unique and powerful combat force. Whitechapel, with its mining wealth, can deploy up to two thousand footsoldiers and five hundred knights. Falktown offers five hundred footsoldiers, one hundred riflemen, and fifty Gryph Riders, while Shoremond contributes between two thousand and three thousand footsoldiers and two hundred knights. Edgewater Port, though smaller in footsoldiers with about five hundred, boasts a formidable naval strength. The city of Greenfield itself is a military stronghold with the capability to muster up to twelve thousand footsoldiers, two thousand knights, eight hundred mounted soldiers, and an uncertain number of battle mages, adding a layer of magical prowess to its military might.

The city is forever covered in ashened clouds which blocks much of the sun and the city houses various gladiator games to entertain the population. Former miners have become gladiators in hope of gaining coin and fame. Places of interest.

The Lords of the city have recently managed to strike terms with several adult and even ancient dragons to have peace. The dragon hunting have become forbidden, almost taboo but some still hold onto the old ways but without the support of the city.
