Rutshire

Rutshire is a country in Pridain.

Description
Rutshire shares an eastern border with Decester and a western border with Oxwall. It has two inhabited islands within its influence; Winesaile and Fawkness.

History
Before the Fenizian invasion of Grand Pridain Rutshire was home to a large population of giantkin as was a staging area for many of the diasporic peoples fleeing the invasion to head to the isles of Anvil.

The city of Biforum was once the capital of the Pridish Empire before the Crown moved to Fowkverton.

Because of the Pridish Empire's history of animosity toward Oxwall, Rutshire has often found itself as a staging ground for invasion or itself a target for invasion.

Climate
Similar to much of northern Decester, Rutshire has a moderate climate; warmed from the south by the midsea and chilled from the north by the northern sea.
