Painting of a river scene with a village and a river

The Duchy of Calhoun Article DRAFT PUBLIC Situated in the heart of the temperate kingdom, Calhoun serves as a central hub linking provinces across the realm. The busy settlement Battle Creek lies along well-traveled East-West trade routes near major riverways. It is ruled by merchant noble Lord Kellog from his hilltop estate Kellog Manor. While agriculture and livestock farming thrive around outlying villages, the defining feature of Calhoun is Battle Creek itself. Merchants, journeymen, and traders from across the kingdom flock to this bustling inland port. Inns and granaries cater to all who pass through. Via an ingenious system of canals, both the Kalamazoo and Saint Joseph Rivers are made navigable, allowing cargo-laden barges easy transport from lower Great Lakes ports directly to Battle Creek. Grain, ores, furs, timber and finished goods thereby flow through continually. Lord Kellog in particular has amassed great wealth formulating healthy grain-based breakfast foods and medicinal remedies at his Battle Creek Sanitarium. Though not a Duke, his shrewd merchant interests give him considerable influence among nobles at the royal court. Strategically vital, economically vibrant, and politically wired, though the Duchy of Calhoun itself lacks great size or resources, its central location fosters trade that enriches the entire kingdom. Its common people share in relative prosperity from the bustle of commerce.
