Tale Barony

Tale Barony is a fief located in the southern end of the Lancephil County. Io Lancephil gave the territory to Roan who was granted the title of a Baron by Prince Simon Rinse for his outstanding service during the Poskein Exodus.

Background
For decades, the Tale region was considered a wasteland due to the huge amount of monsters that pervaded the territory. This was due to its proximity to Poskein Lake. Thus, Io Lancephil was forced to spend a lot of money each year to send soldiers to subjugate the monsters. Due to the abundant monsters, no one was willing to live in the territory. Finally, Io Lancephil was forced to forgive the taxes of the residents to attract people. Still, the citizens lived in the north of the region where the land was not fit for farming. Even though the south of the region was filled with fertile land, inhabiting that area was impossible due to its proximity to Poskein Lake.

Previous Timeline
Much like the rest of the regions surrounding Poskein Lake, Tale region was also completely destroyed by the monsters during the Poskein Exodus.

Current Timeline
Due to Roan attacking Benjamin Doyle, a Viscount, he was deemed a sinner and was on verge of being sold as a slave. However, Io Lancephil changed his punishment to being exiled to the Tale region. There, he made Roan the commander of the Tale region in hopes of him subjugating monsters, attaining merit and being pardoned.

However, even he had not expected that Roan would manage to transform the lawless and chaotic Tale region into a relatively safe region. During the Poskein Exodus, Prince Simon Rinse was assigned to the Tale region where he was able to obtain the most merit amongst the three princes with the help of Roan. As a reward, he granted Roan the title of a Baron and Count Io Lancephil officially granted him the Tale region and some surrounding territories. Thus, the Tale Barony was established.
