Phesbany

The region of Phesbany is a fertile rolling plain north of Vrenna, west of the Auran highlands in central Elyssia, and south of Ingelenz and Pavalonian territory. The country is ruled by an independent Duke who historically has tended to avoid conflict that could bring devastation to his homeland and threaten its thriving economy. The Duke has maintained warm relations with the Archonry and the Marble cities as well as Glorance although they compete with one another for the prized markets of Aura. Meanwhile, both Vrenna and Pavalon covet Phesbany's valuable lands, bountiful resources, and prized trading crossroads. Phesbany also has an intricate and expansive network of old Auran road infrastructure based on its past history as the bread basket for the ancient empire.

Phesbany is known for its predominately agricultural economy that produces unique cuisine as well as world famous wines made in vineyards in the southern expanse known as the Phesban Wine country which spills over the border somewhat to its south western neighbor of Vrenna which also produces fine wines but a far smaller amount. Phesbany doesnt truly have a central city but several smaller cities that have served the Phesban Dukes depended on where they choose to rule, resulting in many Phesban cities having elegant palaces that are used by the Ducal house or their subordinates. Phesbany is also known for its wool and textiles industry that has innovated and expanded drastically in recent years as well as its budding art scene that focuses on ceramics and the creations of mosiacs in a revival from ancient Auran Art.
