|Introduction='''Uiniac''' is the central of the three mainland duchies of the [[Kingdom of Bóinbile]], in [[Central Gosterra]]. It lies south of the [[Odhan River|Odhan]], between the sea to the west and [[Khamria]] to the east, with [[Uirsiriar]] to the south beyond the [[Scairiof Hills]]. Its capital is [[Eistirigh]]. Its largest city is [[Bóinbile]], the capital of the Kingdom, which is a royal city governed directly by the Crown. Uiniac is held by a branch of the [[Suir Dynasty]]. It covers 18,749 mi² (48,560 km²), has about 800,000 inhabitants, and is the Kingdom's largest farming region. | |||
|History= | |||
=== Early settlement === | |||
After the landing of the [[Great Migration]] at [[Baddaen (City)|Baddaen]] in 0 ME, settlers spread north along the coast and up the river valleys of Gosterra. From about 90 ME the settlements gathered into small kingdoms. Eistirigh was founded around 100 ME, and Bóinbile was founded on the south bank of the Odhan in 125 ME. Uiniac was the home kingdom of Bóinbile's ruling house, which brought the neighboring kingdoms under its rule by conquest and alliance and in 151 ME united central and southern Gosterra as the Kingdom of Bóinbile. | |||
=== Duchy === | |||
After 151 ME Bóinbile became the capital of the Kingdom and was governed by the Crown as a royal city, while the surrounding land became the Duchy of Uiniac, held by a branch of the royal house with its seat at Eistirigh. | |||
In the War of the Southern Duchies (640–645 ME), Uiniac stood with the Crown. | |||
=== Modern period === | |||
The railway from Bóinbile south through Eistirigh to Uirsiriar opened in 856 ME and was joined to the lines of the [[Heialdyn Stratocracy]] in 863 ME. | |||
|Geography=Uiniac covers 18,749 mi² (48,560 km²). To the north the Odhan separates it from [[Murbal]], from Raos' Bay to Bóinbile. To the west it meets the sea, from Raos' Bay south past Dunton to Lake Ruicle. To the south its border with Uirsiriar runs along the Scairiof Hills, and to the east it borders Khamria. East of Bóinbile the duchy also takes in a strip of land between two rivers that flow from the east. | |||
The Uiniac Forest covers the north of the duchy between the Odhan and the Malobh. The Scairiof Hills rise along the southern border. The rest of Uiniac is open farmland, which stretches east to the Khamrian border. | |||
Apart from the Odhan, the Malobh is Uiniac's only river. It flows west from Lake Malobh past Eising and Coingeal to Tipre and Lake Ealla, near the coast. Lake Ruicle lies on the border with Uirsiriar near the coast. | |||
=== Climate === | |||
The climate is oceanic, with mild winters, cool to warm summers and frequent rain. Fog is common on the coast. | |||
{{See also|Central Gosterra}} | |||
|Goverment and Politcs=Uiniac is governed from Eistirigh by a branch of the Suir Dynasty, which holds the duchy under the Crown of the Kingdom of Bóinbile, an absolute monarchy. The duke sits on the council of the four dukes, which advises the monarch. | |||
Bóinbile lies within Uiniac but is not part of the duchy's government: as a royal city it is governed directly by the Crown, and it is the seat of the monarch and the royal government. | |||
Fort Múnd guards the mouth of the Odhan opposite Glibhe, Fort Dailb the west coast at Dunton, and Fort Cealrus the approaches to Bóinbile from the east. Fort Uct, in the southeast, watches the routes to Khamria. | |||
|Economy=Uiniac is the Kingdom's largest farming region, producing grain, cattle and sheep, and wool is a major product. Fishing is important on the coast. | |||
Bóinbile is the seat of the royal government, a river port on the Odhan and the northern end of the Kingdom's main railway. | |||
The Uiniac Forest is a royal hunting forest; the land is protected and is not logged or settled. | |||
Trails from Spiodhal, Leacon and Muacul in the east lead into Khamria, where they carry a small trade with the tribes of the [[Barerte Waste]]. | |||
|Demographics=Uiniac has about 800,000 inhabitants, about 43 per square mile (16 per km²). About 368,000 people live in its eighteen cities, including Bóinbile, and about 90,000 in its towns; the rest, about two-fifths of the population, live in the countryside. | |||
Most inhabitants are [[Gostaldi]] and speak [[Gostaldi (Language)|Gostaldi]]. The Yeparchist branch of [[Tefar]] is the main religion. | |||
