Provinces & Holdings

Birthright has rules about the holdings in each province that a ruler controls. I have enhanced these rules, converting a holding(1) into 10 holdings, to allow for more granularity. Below are the statistics for the various holdings in the Chimaeron.

Holdings by Province

Barniere (1)

Province	Size	Land	Pop	Law	Civ	Com	Trade	Rogue	Temple
Barniere (1)	80	18	18	15	7	17	5	10	4

This is a farming town (little more than a village really) on the eastern edge of the Chimaeron. The population are mostly Khinasi, with Anuireans and Brechts about equal in numbers. Barniere is not that large, but it is surrounded by tributary villages that together make it important. It is the biggest source of food in the country and makes some money from exporting that food as well, but the profits on food are low and it is not that prosperous.

Careine (2)

Province	Size	Land	Pop	Law	Civ	Com	Trade	Rogue	Temple
Careine (2)	90	25	27	21	14	25	07	24	04

A small border city in the north, it is the most populous of all the towns and cities in the country. It has developed some trade with other countries, especially Anuirean countries. Careineans try to maintain a veneer of civilisation in order to protect their trade interests, but the city is riddled with merchant guilds vying for control of the trade concessions.

Hamein (1)

Province	Size	Land	Pop	Law	Civ	Com	Trade	Rogue	Temple
Hamein (2)	80	14	13	14	05	13	04	14	04

Hamein is a town on the banks of the eastern river Khurinbyrn, opposite to the Rohrmarch capital, Kiedel. It has an advantage over its larger Rohr neighbour, in that its small port does not silt up and it is able to control ferry access to Kiedel. The Lord of Hamein is able to use this advantage to keep ferry prices high and make money from its neighbour. If it were not for this, Hamein would not be a place of any significance. It gets very little actual trade; that goes to Kiedel. There’s little agriculture or economy to speak of and its people are generally thought to be lazy and unreliable.

Lyssan (2)

Province	Size	Land	Pop	Law	Civ	Com	Trade	Rogue	Temple
Lyssan (2)	80	28	31	28	19	23	5	28	19
Lyssan (City)	50	20	21	20	18	18	5	20	15
Luandar	30	08	10	08	02	05	00	08	04

The province of Lyssan is central to the Chimaeron and is therefore the capital province. Administratively, it is split into two cities, the lead of each controls their own area and is a member of the Council of Leaders.

Lyssan

This is the capital city, by virtue of its central location rather than its population, which is not that large. Its size is limited by the mountain plateau that it sits on, dominated by the Tower of Watch, although there are farming communities in the valley below. Its economy relies on mining, smithing and the arms trade. It is hard to judge who will end up ruling Lyssan, but as the one who controls the capital, its Mayor has more influence than any of the other members of the Council. As a result, its elections are more hotly contested and it tends to attract ambitious types.

Luandar

Luandar is a poor and dirty port town on the mouth of the river Qatil, bordering the country of Coeranys. It does not get much trade, though it is in a good position for those who want to land by sea and travel north, but few do. Luandar has a lot of poor people and desperately lacks a significant economy, having declined from its heydays. Its Mayor is usually rich and promises the people a better life, but that promise is rarely delivered on.

Mhowe (2)

Province	Size	Land	Pop	Law	Civ	Com	Trade	Rogue	Temple
Mhowe (2)	100	27	26	24	15	27	17	20	18
Mhowe (City)	70	16	15	14	07	16	14	15	07
Tulear	30	11	11	10	08	11	03	05	11

Mhowe is the southern most province of the Chimaeron and is dominated by the sea, ships and trade. Administratively, it is split into two cities, the lead of each controls their own area and is a member of the Council of Leaders.

Mhowe

This town is the most prosperous in all the Chimaeron, perhaps because it is also furthest away from the Chimaera. It lies on the most southern tip of the country and it attracts a reasonable amount of trade. If you want something importing into the country, have it sent via Mhowe, but expect to have to pay a local tariff for the privilege. Even the local smugglers have to pay protection money. It is also alleged that pirates operate from there.

Tulear

Another port on the southern tip of the country, Tulear does not attract the trade that its better placed rival Mhowe gets. Instead, it has built up a logging and ship-building industry. Its people are more independently minded than most in the Chimaeron, with a reputation for rising up and overthrowing Leaders who are openly corrupt or threaten the local economy. The Mayor of Tulear usually has to demonstrate to the people that they have some administrative skills and want to do more than line their pockets.

Rourke (1)

Province	Size	Land	Pop	Law	Civ	Com	Trade	Rogue	Temple
Rourke(1)	80	15	14	14	05	15	05	05	04

This small town is in the Iron Peaks directly below the Eerie of the Chimaera. It has suffered due to this, because when she is in a rage she usually takes it out on them. As a result, Rourke has developed into a mining community and has retreated into the relative safety of an underground mining town. It has the biggest Dwarven community in the country, but they are still a minority. Its people are said to be straight talking miners who do not like a lot of talk but prefer action. They are also harder working than most and thanks to that Rourke has survived and prospered as a town.

Salviene (1)

Province	Size	Land	Pop	Law	Civ	Com	Trade	Rogue	Temple
Salviene (1)	80	18	18	15	07	17	05	10	04

A small port south of Luandar on the Gulf of Coeranys, Salviene gets very little trade. Its local economy takes advantage of gambling and other vices, attracting residents of neighbouring Coeranys, where gambling and prostitution is outlawed and frowned upon. It is said that there’s nothing you can’t do in Salviene – for the right price.
