The Dukedom held by the Vanderbee family. The name refers to both a large stretch of land and a trade city, which is the heart of the Roseview state.

Origin

Long ago bequeathed upon the Frère family by the royal family of Istres, it was named after the native roses that grew plentiful along the edge of the Wood and into the Moors that border the west side of the duchy. The roses were further cultivated into large, showy blooms by the Frères.

Despite the Frère family's initial good fortune, the line ended and was absorbed by the Vanderbee family due to a line of daughters being birthed. The Vanderbees took the mantle of the dukedom and have lived in Roseview since.
