Ruled by Count Oszric Cunningham and his much more responsible wife Elena Cunningham, Haverford County has a poor reputation across Allerfeldt. Though the Cunninghams have strong relationships with the other counties and their rulers (with many intermarriages to aid in the stability of Allerfeldt), over the generations they have become notorious for the new obsession each Cunningham brings to their thrown. Half-finished buildings dot the landscape, each the site where one count or countess began a grand project only to perish before its completion. Others exist only as ruins, the remains of spectacularly unsuccessful attempts at duplicating Lorimor Fire or fashioning new alchemical potions. While some have been productive, such as Countess Ygraine Cunningham's reinforced training hall for battlemages, most only lost coin. The county's finances grew so poor that Oszric was forced to take the wealthy merchant Elena as his wife to bolster the treasury.
Fortunately, the two have acted to reclaim many of the ruins, mines, and other lost regions from past years, and have funded dozens of excavations and masonry work. Unfortunately, these have uncovered hordes of goblins and other creatures that have taken residence in them over the generations. Having been disturbed, these foul beings are now threatening local villages.
Oszric is an eclectic collector of magical curiosities. His collection used to be curated by Reeda Wallis, before she became obsessed with the Bloodguard legends and began to dabble in dark magic.
