The County of Bennon has long been considered the most prestigious hunting ground of Esmaria. Unlike the forests like the Bardswood, noble hunters would meet and stalk their prey atop the slopes of Bennonhill and the Havoral Divide. During these hunting trips, exclusive deals and relationships could be made with foreign dignitaries, built upon comradery in the hills rather than by empty words. Unlike their Esmari cousins, the Bennonians are proud of their serious and responsible nature. During times of war, heavily armored Bennonian knights would turn the tide of battle with their fearless bravery when lessers would flee. One of the most famous knights of the 15th century, Sir Frederic sil Bennon was the instructor of Corin before her ascent to godhood. Though his cousin Duke Aldres III sil Benon fought for the Moon in the Lilac Wars, Sir Frederic fought for the Rose, believing that the Damerian Silmuna had betrayed the empire. A veteran of the Lilac Wars, he then went to Escann to join with the Marcher Lords against The Greentide. He met his demise at the Battle of Rottenstep, bravely standing his ground against the orcs. Bennon is home to the gargantuan structure of the grandest High Medieval architecture, the Museum of Virtue is dedicated to the deeds of the past. The halls are filled with armor that was worn by past heroes, statues and monuments bedeck every wall and floor. But most importantly, the museum is dedicated to Bennon and its people, a shining beacon of its pride.
