Shire of Harbour of Rhye

Basic Background:

The Shire of Harbour of Rhye is controlled by Sheriff Redav Von Kirathelle and Lady Ogoolo Von Kirathelle. The Shire is one of the richest in the Realm and is almost completely autonomous from the other Shires due to its natural boundaries. It has elite soldiers known as the Soldiers of the Rhye that patrol its lands. It is also plagued by pirates called the Zodiac Fleet that sail between here and Adrinor. Harbour of Rhye exports a large amount of crops including Smokeweed (tobacco) which is then transported by the West Wind Trading Company. 

Leadership:

Sheriff Redav Von Kirathelle is known as "The Young Lord" due to his extremely young age. He is married to Ogoolo Von Kirathelle and rules the Shire.

Sheriff Redav is an experienced battle commander having led the Soldiers of the Rhye into battle many times. He is well respected by all in the realm. 

Lady Ogoolo Von Kirathelle is the reigning lady of Harbour of Rhye. She is ascended to the position by winning the Champion's Tournament and attracted the eye of Sheriff Redav.
