Barony of Pridea



The Barony of Pridea is an Autonomous Vassal of the Kingdom of Aquileia - one of several parts of the country parcelled out by King Moriset Discret to his family.

Pridea is currently led by Baron Dennis Discret, the King's cousin and a rather notorious Pirate lord.

Lore
During the revolution, Pridea was controlled by the Communards, who declared an autonomous Commune of Pridea. The Commune fell after Dennis Discret, notorious pirate lord and member of the deposed Discret dynasty, shelled Pridea with his navy. Dennis, after taking over the city, declared himself Pridea's new Baron in the name of the king. Harsh reprisals followed for the revolutionaries, with those captured being taken to a now-infamous wall next to the old city's centre and shot, five by five, until the Baron ran out of traitors to execute.

In the years since the revolution, Dennis has secured his position by using Pridea's large, hyperloyal pony minority as a police force, while supporting rebuilding efforts around the city; though, much of this rebuilding has gone towards helping the Baron's associates and investing in upper-class recreation, such as the new theatre and cafes of the central square.
