Tammelhorne

Main Page > Places > Tammelhorne

Tammelhorne, with its capital city of Horne's Deep, was a major duchy of the Kingdom of Kelmourne, located in the mountainous northwest of that nation and encompassing the only pass north through the mountains to Rindamoor and the former Empire of Cardmoor. Traditionally, the Duke of Tammelhorne was also the Warden of the Pass.

Tammelhorne is also notable as being the location of the only known source of Geldren, a precious metal with the apparently unique property of holding magical charms indefinitely.

After the War of the Dead, Tammelhorne was ruled by Ayla Mattanhaft, born Ayla Tammelhorne, and her son Desmon Mattanhaft; they maintained that Desmon was King of Kelmourne and Tammelhorne was thus independent of the Triumvirate. Upon their deaths in Year 10 of the Triumvirate, Tammelhorne passed to Isador Hellfish, who had apparently married Desmon in secret some years previously.

In Year 10, Tammelhorne is a Duchy of the Triumvirate, and House Hellfish controls both Tammelhorne and the trade of Geldren.
