Rondé

Rondé is a country in Alinor, on the continent of Oriole. Its capital is Kingsford. Most of the Greenwing and Dart books take place here.

Geography
Rondé is divided into four duchies and an earldom, the Farry March.

Duchies:
 * Fiellan (capital: Fiella-by-the-Sea)
 * Ghilousette (captital: Newbury)
 * Ronderell
 * Erlingale

In the days of the Empire, the Imperial Seat was Orio City, which is in Rondé.

Political Structure
Rondé has a king, but in the time period of the Greenwing and Dart books, he is relatively weak, and the independent duchies hold a fair bit of power and their own legal systems.

After The Fall, Rondé reverted to being a kingdom in its own right, and the holders of old Imperial titles technically lost their rank in its government. However, these nobles retained their land holdings and titles, and in practice many of them (such as the Duke of Fillering Pool) retained significant influence.

Additionally, |Emperor Artorin Damara retained the title of High King of Rondé after The Fall, though it ceased to hold anything other than symbolic weight.
