Carlinshire

• A shire in Addermarch, Greater Sembara

Carlinshire is the largest of the three shires that owe allegiance to the Earl of the Mostreve, and is contains the upper stretches of the Umber, the higher elevations of Torvaine Forest, and the northern part of the Westcliff. It is bordered by the Maseau Gap on the west, Bramshire to the north, the Aure valley to the east, and Weskershire to the south.

This area saw heavy fighting during the war against the Dominion of Avatus, and was the only region of Addermarch to be partially occupied by Avatus. It is now a somewhat poor region, and rather neglected.

The most significant settlement in Carlinshire is Valcroix, at the confluence of the Umber and ~Main Aure Fork~. Smaller settlements, mostly villages, ruined castles, and the occasional toll-fort, dot the hills to the west.
