History

Lakhesis is the barony of Mike Fors. He received the barony as a part of the Musica deal between Brookshire and Yardistan. The barony was previously named Solecism, but the name was changed through a naming competition. The winning name, Lakhesis, was proposed by Oroigawa Koreyasu.

Geography

The barony includes the counties of Amarr, Benacia, Highpass, Musica and Thanatos. The barony borders in the northeast to the barony of Dolor and in the east to the barony of K'Tzuni, both in the duchy of Brookshire, in the south to the barony of the United Isles in the duchy of Yardistan, and in the west to the Kingdom of Tellia.

Flag

The flag of Lakhesis, with a design similar to the Spanish flag with one horizontal, large, red stripe and two thinner blue stripes, with a golden sun in the red stripe, has been a symbol used in the area since ancient times. The lower blue band symbolizes the waters of the Cosimo Sea and Gulf of Khaz, the upper blue band represents both the sky at sunset and the mountains farther in the land. The red stripe stands for both the red sand of the Lakhesis plains, but also the sky as the sun sets. The sun disc is an ancient symbol for Ra, the Sun-God.

Capital

The capital of the barony is the City of Musica, but once a year, during La Fiesta De La B0O0/\/\, the capital moves to Fatehpur Sikri.
