Geography
Sovanil is a long, rectangular province bordered on the west by the river and over it, Ulurith; on the north by Deriline, the neutral province; on the south by Thavelfin, also a neutral province; and on the west by the mountains. Its western border is abruptly mountainous, and the flanks extend over halfway to the river, leaving the largest parcels on the banks: Fesa in the north and Telde in the south. These two parcels share most of the 3397 people residing in Sovanil, with 1638 in Fesa and 1420 in Telde.
The more mountainous regions have not prospered. In the north, Juran and Brel are purportedly held by their respective noble families, but in truth the tenants have petered out or moved east, and the remains of Juran and Brel's nobles live now on Fesa and Telde's charity. In the southwest, Kiriel, Shin, and Thani hold tenuously to their positions, but with 99, 77, and 162 people their parcels are marginal at best. All the wealth and power is concentrated in the eastern parcels, and the only reason the western ones haven't been absorbed by Fesa and Telde is because it suits them, politically, to sound more prosperous and numerous than they are.
