Classification: Strategic Assessment, Princedom Holdings
The Twelve Princedoms remain fractured successors of the old Empire. Each bloodline bleeds true blue, proven by the Make of the Imperium, and none have allowed their lineage to break despite centuries of infighting. They fight as much with pride as with weapons. Rivalries are sharp, but the Code of Blood forbids assassination or coup. A prince would sooner defend a hated sibling than let the Green Zone claim victory.

Branthorn (Princess Selai) – The Marsh Realms
A domain of endless bogs, brackish rivers, and suffocating fog. The Marsh Realms are treacherous to cross, with shifting ground that swallows armies whole and waterways that twist without pattern. Selai rules with cold precision, making every advance into her swamps costly. Her soldiers are masters of ambush and attrition, trained to vanish into the muck and strike only when terrain guarantees victory. While her siblings mock her obsession with control, her campaigns prove the merit: invasions against Branthorn rarely return with survivors.
The Marsh Realms sit directly south of Mara, making Selai the closest Princedom ruler to the rebel city. Though Mara is unknown it places Mara in the most strategically dangerous position should war flare between Green and the Princedoms.
