Welcome to the lands known as Pembrokeshire.

These lands are ruled over by the Pheylands, King Thomas and the beautiful Queen Catherine. They rule as in all things with wisdom and care for the lands and those that call these lands home.
Pembrokeshire is located in the southwest of medieval England in the lands of the Welsh. Wales has been brought to peace under the Pheyland's rule as well as the shared rule of the Kingdom on Caernarfon to the northwest of the Pheyland holdings.
Its lands are rich in good soil, livestock, hard working people, and so much more.
All is watched over by various castles but all the power lies in but one place, Pheyland Keep.

Pheyland Keep is situated on the inland coast of a medieval Welsh Kingdom at the edge of a rather large forest that opens to rolling hills and plains making its position both strategic and picturesque.
The Keep is fully staffed with soldiers, guards, and numerous household and maintenance servants.

The original Duchy was established with the Pheyland's moving into the older, lesser Keep and the consolidation of the county and soon grew into the Kingdom it now is. The Kingdom takes up a rather large area of Wales and has several Duchies, Baronies, cities, and such located within its borders.

The lesser Keep was a fine home and fortress and served the Pheylands well but after the Battle of Havorford was won and the Duchy doubled in size it was decided by the then Duke Thomas and his Regent that the Keep was no longer viable or large enough to protect and serve the then Duke's holdings so the Keep was taken down stone by stone and made part of the new Pheyland Keep, many of its original rooms and features placed into the new Keep's design as a tribute to the service the old Keep had provided for so long to the Duchy now turned Kingdom ruled equally by the King and Queen.

The new Keep consists of a thick fortified wall about its grounds and buildings, a full service stables with indoor riding room, nine large, full barracks of soldiers and guards, a large carriage house, and of course the large, stately castle type residence itself that stands on the water's edge. The residence itself has a main hall and a receiving room to admit royals of any kind and suites to suit both everyday and royal guests alike along with the personal rooms of the Pheylands themselves and its residents.
To wile away the days and nights and entertain guests, the residence has its own ballroom, a formal lounge, and a fully equipped large seating music room. There's also a large, well-stocked library for guests to feel comfortable in using as well as a chapel for their spiritual needs, the large beach just north of the Keep bluff for swimming, and the large forest for the hunting of your favorite game that inhabits these parts.
And for those soft, dew filled mornings, warm evenings, and serene summer afternoons, it's always pleasurable and so very calming to the senses to wander Queen Catherine's gardens that were carefully transplanted to the new Keep's grounds and new conservatory added. Be sure to see her beautiful and lovely beds of pink roses that she has grown with patience, care, and love that seem to have no equal in any other gardens of Europe or any realm and of course her garden conservatory for those blustery winter days that Wales encounters.

The Keep and surrounding castles and lands protect the large whole of Wales aside from the Kingdom of Caernarfon. Trade by sea is obviously profitable and viable for the Kingdom.

So, friends, royals, peaceful wanderers, traders, and just everyday visitors please partake of the Pheyland's hospitality and of Pheyland Keep's beauty and safety and leave knowing you've been treated well and hopefully have a peaceful feeling about you from your visit. King Thomas, Queen Catherine, Princess Elizabeth, Prince Jonathan, and the rest of the Kingdom's residents wouldn't have it any other way.
