Below the king and the Noble Council is an array of minor nobles who meet in what is termed the “Knightly Conclave”, a semi-parliamentary group which considers more or less any issue it wishes to and then offers its opinions to Belvor.

Augmented by war-hungry mercenaries and adventurers from distant lands, the full force of infantry and cavalry stand at about twenty thousand soldiers, with roughly the same number of warriors provided by local lords. Though it suffered great losses in the Greyhawk Wars (582–584 CY) and the Great Northern Crusade (586–588 CY), and stands to lose even more to the newly declared eternal war against Iuz, Furyondy still boasts one of the most impressive standing armies in all the Flanaess.
This has had a deleterious effect upon the nation’s economy, and trade is at an alarming low. Much of the nationwide road system, once Furyondy’s pride, lies in shambles unless supported by the wealth of local lords. As a result, much of the king’s wealth has been depleted. War also brought about severe economic depression for the north, and a massive drain on the royal coffers. The Greyhawk Wars changed the nation’s borders for several years, much of the northern provinces of Kalinstren and Crystalreach were occupied by Iuz.
The alliance with friendly onetime satellite nations like Highfolk and Veluna balances the depredation suffered at the hands of Iuz and, until recently, the Horned Society. Winter brings a great deal of snow, but is not particularly harsh.įuryondy both profits and suffers from the disposition of its neighbors. Rain is more common in the north, making a depressing land even more miserable. The two great lakes moderate the weather throughout most of the year. The nation abuts the grand Vesve Forest, but claims only a small part of that expanse. Overview: Modern Furyondy spans the land between the mighty Velverdyva and Veng Rivers, from the Nyr Dyv in the south to the southern shore of Lake Whyestil in the north.
