Faycrest is a small lordship on the western side of the Thorn River, bordering Jorunland and Lotharia. To the north, Faycrest borders the Kingdom of Nirvel. The lordship of Faycrest controls around 8,200 square miles of land and hosts a population of around 294,000, most of which are situated around the three most populous cities, Trademire, Oxwood, and Lost Post. Faycrest is considered a feudal, hereditary monarchy, ruled by Lord Roberd Faywell from his personal castle in Oxwood. Most of the land of Faycrest is temperate deciduous forest, separated by land cleared for agriculture. Most of the population are agricultural peasants, with a smaller percentage of fishermen and hunters. Faycrest trades with the Kingdom of Jorunland and enjoys relatively good relations with them. The cities of Lost Post and Trademire are important trade stops along the Bay of Tears Trade Route. Lost Post was the original trade city of Faycrest, and was previously known as Grand Post. When Lotharia constructed Trademire, shipping activity out of Grand Post declined sharply, and the city eventually became known as Lost Post. Faycrest used to be part of the Viceroyalty of the Westerlands, a constituent territory of Lotharia, but due to its decay and stagnation, Faycrest eventually became independent.
