Geographical description of territory
Located in a remote area of Manticore, the Barony of Gray's Harbor is a small, densely wooded territory surrounding a small harbor. The once small fishing village is now occupied by a luxury resort, which is it's main source of income. The resort caters to the wealthy, offering a variety of activities from watersports, boat rentals and private cruises, hiking, and other outdoor activities. Opulent suites, beach villas, and private mountain lodges are available as well in addition to the more modest accommodations. The small town of Gray's Harbor, while it is lined with shops catering to the tourists still maintains much of it's original seaside charm.
The baron's residence, Sølvdelfin, lies on a bluff overlooking the harbor.
The baron is the honorary commanding officer of the 104th RMMC Rifle Regiment, the Grays Harbor Regiment, a small RMMC regiment drawn from personnel from throughout the barony. It is one of the few Home Guard RMMC regiments authorized.
