Duchy of Nastonia

Duchy of Nastonia was the successor state of 1st Kingdom of Nastonia after the Steelward integration.

Formation
In 122AD the 1st Kingdom of Nastonia was annexed by the Steelward Kingdom and Nastonia was formed to become the Duchy of Nastonia. The first Duke was chosen to be Rik of Highmerne the cousin of the Nastonian King Emerin. Former King Emerin was excuted.

Rik was only 3 years old when this happened so he was taught to be a loyal subject of the Steelward Kingdom.

History
The Duchy was actually quite rich for the most of the time. Even though most land it held before the annexation was lost. And of the 17 Big cities of the western coast it only kept five.

The Duchy went through 6 revolts during its time which of the 6th revolt was the most brutal. It was an revolution. A revolution in which the Fheylwing dynasty took over as the Dukes. Steelward Kingdom did not interfere, in fact it is said that they paid Elric Fheylwing to revolt as he was much more loyal to Steelward Kingdom. He used to be a Baron of Stonewharf castle inside the Steelward Kingdom. Elric used his wife Gwynevere Highmerne as an claim to the throne.

The Duchy ended when Erwin Fheylwing son of Elric declared independence from the Steelward Kingdom while it was going through successor troubles, resulting in the Kingdom of Nastonia.
