Duchy of Rostov

Geography
The Duchy of Rostov is the southernmost of the tundra regions in the Kingdom. It is home to the mouth of the Icemelt River and also the only pass through the Mountains of Winter west of the Green Sea. Rostov serves as a major trade hub both by land and by sea as it connects the industrial northern regions of the Kingdom to the agricultural southern regions and the rest of the Western Continent. The Duchy of Rostov is bordered to the northwest by Yaroslavl, to the north by Omsk, and to the northeast by Moskva. The southwest border is with the Great Outer Ocean and in particular the Bukhta L'da, the coastal bay. The Mountains of Winter serve as the southern land border of the duchy and the Pass of Podolsk is the only connection to the Duchy of Yuzhnyy beyond the mountains.

Demographics
The province is predominately Dwarven and is quite small in population despite its location, but this is more due to its land area, or lack of, than other reasons. The total population is around 920,000.
