The County of Batarostra is located in the center of Vandago and,
despite being landlocked, boasts a flourishing maritime economy due to the
prominent location of the Andirian River flowing through it. The wide
river coils through northeastern Vandago and has served as a source of
freshwater fishing and as a conduit for trade with the Ducal Demense
throughout history. Argvard's Canal, built in 130 SC provides a much
quicker mode of transportation and opened trade routes with the
northeastern kingdoms.

The seat of Batarostra is the fortress of Cal Domir, a mammoth structure
that sits high at Lake Drothaine (the inland endpoint of the canal) and
marks the furthest point inland that the river was initially navigable by
ocean-worthy craft. The river down was widened and several impressive dams
keep water levels manageable even in the flood-prone spring months. The
county boasts a beautiful countryside rich in natural resources, and two
products in particular have become iconic: sumptuous Batarostran musk oil
used in luxury perfumery, and Batarostran Alexandrite, which became an
unofficial symbol of the County after it was discovered to glimmer in both
County colours (brilliant crimson in candlelight and sea-green in
daylight).

House von Turtor has lengthy ties to the area stretching back even before
the formation of the Empire; the land was appointed as a gift and burden
when the canal was constructed and the great fortress assembled. It is
said that Cal Domir has never fallen to invading army or seige, though this
might be due more to the fact that invaders are able to control the inland
port while ignoring the fortress-town itself.

The last of the von Turtors to rule, Count Derwin, had a reputation every
bit as galling as any noble could possess. There are widespread rumors
about his infidelity to his wife, the Lady Joriel Velvanoss ab Turtor, and
the family has a rapscallion reputation throughout the church and with many
of their peers. On his death in a tragic ceremonial sledding accident in
365, his favored niece, Haizea von Mazina inherited his title; a last
spiteful gesture towards her mother.

The Lady Haizea von Mazina has resolved to turn the debaucherous legacy of
her uncle on its heel and see a return of her people to proper Vandagan
order and morality, though due to her age much of the actual governance of
the County is left in the hands of her council and the advisors who travel
with her. Vandagan bards have written sonnets about her legendary beauty,
but she boasts a somewhat sinister reputation in common circles for her
militaristic and iron-fisted disposition.
