Berowick
Berowick was the third duchy founded after the Free Kingdom was established. They are a duchy of farmers first, and everything else second. They are exceedingly loyal to their Duchess and to their Queen, often taking a dim view of outsiders.
They have more Shires than any other duchy.
In general, Berowickians are home bodies with a deep love of hearth and home and consequently very protective of their loved ones and their land.
It is the breadbasket of the kingdom, growing wheat, barley, and rye, as well as most of the vegetables and berries consumed by the kingdom. It is also known for its superior beers.
Duchess of Berowick
Dutches Cynthia Valhelm

Makeup Requirements
Humans are not required to wear make-up.
Nobles are held to a higher standard of costuming than commoners, frequently appearing in some variation of their house colors. The fabrics will be of a higher quality and have more trim. New players coming in as nobles must have their costuming approved by the Berowick marshal.
Sleeves and skirts/pants that can be hiked or tied are commonly seen in the peasant classes. Trumpet sleeves are fashionable for the noblewoman, and noblemen tend to wear sleeves that do not tie at the wrist and pants that do not tie at the ankle.
