I really should take time to read those in-game lore parts. Thanks for bringing that up, cause after looking around a bit on the world map I finally realised exactly where the fjords map is located. That makes Navinstaak pretty much the northest part of the baronies reach.
Though I gotta say, I always imagined you guys to be based in Ravenrook, cause well.. yeah

we changed name to glowwater thralls, an elite unit located in glowwater, that works for the barons

We do actually already know that the capital of the Baronies is Lord's Leap. And it is indeed the seat of King Greger.

We also hear of raiders and pirates roaming the area and all in all being a security problem to the outskirts of the baronies.
What I take from this knowledge is that Glowwater is based on the edge of the baronies, possibly being the bulwark towards the North, like the Castles build in medieval England towards wales and sctoland would function.
from this I also gather that the Capital of the baronies would be located further South, possibly a long way Down. And this Capital would be the home and powerhouse of King Greger (who is also mentioned in the Northern fjords text).
King is a title given to the ruler of a quantity of lords (this case barons).
WHat we dont know is if there are more Kings in the fjords, being in some sort of council like relyks mentioned.
However my guess is that no King would share his power, or even be capable of agreeing with other Kings in the same faction.
What the Northern fjord text also mentions is that king Greger have troubles keeping control over the Northern fjords area, which I would lead to the fact that he is an undisputed ruler of the baronies to the North and around his Capital.
however the fact that king Greger have troubles gianing control over his regions to the North could also mean that the fjord baronies, is a big political scene where powers shifts over the years. A king cannot protect his borders in a feudal state where his clients do no not abide his power.
A king who controls a feudal country would have a Court that resembles his closest Allies, Family and the sons and daughters of his enemies (hostages were a big part of controlling your enemies or possibly rebel lords. Example is Theon greyjoy in game of thrones who were given to the starks as hostage).
It's all just theories from my side :)
also looking forward to joint operations if both our Clans are fjord based Relyks :)

Heh, well considering my clan is of lawful good alignment not sure how that'd work out.
Also I think the system would be the King, and the the Barons, and their greater and lesser houses.
Dr Pantaleon:
I believe the mission text of the map Raid on the Refinery also states that the facility (the blackcliff metal works) is one of the Baronies'.
That tells us several things:
- the Baronies have a strong and technologically advanced industry
- they probably don't rely on scrap as much as the Angleans or the Arashi League
- they rely heavily on slave labour, as stated in the text
- there are several of these big factories and the labourers are transported between them. I am still not quite sure why they have to change factory in the first place though. If they don't have enough workers and the transports are dangerous, why not concentrate on one facility and dismantle the others? Maybe the factories are specialised on different goods?
If you look at the map (http://www.mobbly.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Guns_of_Icarus_Map.jpg) you can see that Blackcliff is located in an actually rather secure spot, between Chaladon and the Mainland Baronies. As the Chaladonians seem to be a more peaceful nation, one would think that the metal works should be safe from raids.
The fact that they still seem to be a major battlefield shows once again how valuable industry is in this world.
