Glanow

Glanow  (/ˈɡlɑːnaʊ/), officially the Grand Duchy of Glanow, is a sovereign state on the edge of the Denied Imperium. It came into existence in 107, the ninth and final grand duchy established during the Imperial Ascendancy. It was initially entrusted to House Llethian but was transferred to House Dragil following the fall of House Llethian in the Blind Rebellion.

Glanow is the most western state of the Denied Imperium and the farthest from the imperial capital of Tir Newyd. It is bounded on the south by the Golden Sea and the Gwyliadrus Mountains and on the north by the Draig and Lake Nellig. Its capital, Nerthal, lies on the southern shores of Lake Nellig in the west, and the only other major urban area is Sunclear-in-Afon at the mouth of the Draig.

The Grand Duchy of Glanow consists of six districts (Caniland, Carlisle, Copeland, Eden, South Lakeland, and Sunclear-in-Afon), and in 270 had a population of just under half a million persons. Glanow is the largest and most sparsely populated of the nine Grand Duchies.

Alitheia-Eirias, the largest old world ruin in the Imperium, is located in the central district of Caniland on the shores of Lake Nellig. Due to the smooth and reflective surfaces of its many towers, the ruin is clearly visible from a great distance even at night. As with all old world ruins, citizens of the Imperium are forbidden to enter Alitheia-Erias unless special permission is obtained from the Hands of Axiom.
