DESCRIPTION
The shire covers the northernmost part of lathe Mar, dominated by the Wash valley. Uplands like Audwill Downs to the north, Cloudy Downs to the east, and the Rimn Hills to the south form parts of its boundaries. This is something of a backwater part of Somery, with lazy little towns, perfect for the weary, away from the major tourist traps. In spite of not being swarmed with visitors the shire holds plenty to look at like quaint castles and manors, including Watchister Seld in Washford.

THE COAT OF ARMS
The lion is probably borrowed from the arms of lathe Daylowe. The waves symbolise the river Wash. The lion on the crest carries the flag of Mar of which the shire is a part. Squirrels, a symbol for the shire, act as supporters.
