	Situated at the head of the Pass of Arrows, Avenal is a new barony, created by Auberry after the fall of Maleband. Its territory used to be part of the lands of the Earl of Malefaux, a vassal of Maleband; now, Malefaux's only remnant is the crusader castle at the top of the pass. Around it, Malefaux town - the baronial seat - is an important trading center for desert nomads, who bring herds over the pass to Avenal where local merchants purchase them to drive to Akko.		Situated at the head of the Pass of Arrows, Avenal is a new barony, created by Auberry after the fall of Maleband. Its territory used to be part of the lands of the Earl of Malefaux, a vassal of Maleband; now, Malefaux's only remnant is the crusader castle at the top of the pass. Around it, Malefaux town - the baronial seat - is an important trading center for desert nomads, who bring herds over the pass to Avenal where local merchants purchase them to drive to Akko.

			That unwalled trading town is really the second settlement of the name. During the late Second Republic, Malefaux was a fine city on the Pass of Arrows, crowned with an impressive fortress used to keep back raids that in those days came from the mountains. The fortress was fortified and expanded in the high days of the County of Maleband, and it became the seat of an earldom that changed allegiances regularly between Auberry and Maleband -- until an earthquake swallowed the town and even some of the lower portions of the great castle. Its position, however, is too important, and so people rebuilt largely immediately; the upper floors of the great keep continued as Castle Malefaux, while literally over the ruins a new town of Malefaux was built, as the then-baronets of Avenal claimed the castle and the town as the heart of a new barony. The old earldom fled, and for a century or so earls-in-exile mounted raids from their cousins' lands in Arvin until at last that, too, ceased.

Free Port of Rotdam

	Rotdam is the next town south along the Wild Coast from Johburg, and it has not been under noble rule since Mad Baron Aziz Azizi was killed by a popular mob for allegedly performing dark rites in his palace. Legends still tell of how he had a room whose walls were dyed red with blood, though the palace itself has long been razed and replaced by a Civic Arena, famous for gladitorial contests. Now, Rotdam is ruled by a Council of Aldermen under a direct charter from the Court at Akko. It retains traditional obligations to Johburg, and the Count or Countess is given the Keys to the Port of Rotdam upon her accession, but with the arrival of the League to Yathrib the burghers have been beginning to flex more muscle. Rotdam never had very many dependent manors, relying instead on the fishing trade, and with the dissolution of the barony many of those manors have been deeded to the Brother Battle, who maintain a chapter house in Rotdam whose prior-administrator is an ex officio alderman.

			A coastal town with a fine, deep harbor, the seat of government is the fortified Civic Guildhall, dominated by a large meeting room with smaller spaces and offices around it. The Civic Guildhall looks out onto Execution Square, which also has the Civic Arena and the shops and residences for many of the most important guilders. There is no mayoral residence per se; instead, prominent aldermen and mayors use offices in the Civic Guildhall or their own homes.

	The town of Haqq was - like Joyeaux - once a vassal to Leon, and it still has several taifa lords among its membership. Indeed, it was a taifa barony prior to the betrayal, but its Kurgan lord joined Jalalkhan and it was ultimately reconquered by the same crusaders who seized Joyeaux.

Indeed, it was a taifa barony prior to the betrayal, but its Kurgan lord joined Jalalkhan and it was ultimately reconquered by the same crusaders who seized Joyeaux. Haqq is a special case under Momoko's rule. It is equally kurgan and all are treated equally under the laws. She has kurgan men in her armies and in positions of power if their skills befit the title. akurgans and Known Worlders interact peacefully in even the most normal ways.
