Overview

The Justcrown Province is the only region of Nyrond ruled directly by the Royal Family, and as such it also has a unique political situation. The Nyrondese Kings, fearing challenges to the crown's authority, have long discouraged and set laws on the books disallowing large settlements and cities near the capital. Because of this, Rel Mord is the only city in the Justcrown province, and no other large settlement is allowed. Instead, what has been created is a broad network of Thorps spread across the province's rolling hills, governed by a broad network of lesser nobles and knights who report directly to Rel Mord.

The Thorps are not allowed to grow beyond a certain size, which has created a unique degree of broad communities. This has also cultivated much traffic, giving rise to many small overnight travellers shacks and periodic Inns on the more frequented roads. At the heart of Justcrown is the fortress-like walled city of Rel Mord, capital of all Nyrond and a renouned center of learning and culture.

In the years following the Greyhawk Wars, as more and more citizens of Nyrond faced a bleak future of poverty and disease while King Archbold dined on plates of platinum, the term "As true as Justcrown" entered common parlance. In earlier times, however, Nyrond's central province carried with it a certain pride; Justcrown was the center of a great and good empire ruled by kings endorsed by the will of the gods.

Lynwerd tries desperately to regain this reputation, and in truth has done much to heal the wounds caused by his father. The people of Justcrown, while they grumble as much as elsewhere, know that, in Lynwerd, their lives will be better than before.
