Hurmu

During a time in Hurmu's history, the country was part of Shireroth as an Arminian barony. It consisted of two counties, Lake District and Elwynn.

The Lakes of Hurmu were very important to the Hurmudans; they were considered holy. Four of the lakes were in Shirerithian hands while the other two, Sselm and Anset were, and still are, under the administration of Stormark.

Immediately after Arminy was admitted to the Empire as a duchy, the Council of the Duchy Hyperborea decided to lease Elwynn, then a county within Hyperborea, to Arminy. As such, Arminy became the largest duchy in size and the counties of the Lake District (corresponding to the territory of Arminian Hurmu prior to their accession to Shireroth) and Elwynn joined in to form a barony.

The Barony of Hurmu was first headed by Troy Thompson. During his tenure a pilgrimage to Sselm and Anset began, but due to his inactivity, Lord Thompson was removed from office and replaced by Harald. Harald created an Order of the Holy Lakes, from which the modern Senate of Hurmu descends. One of the first recipients of the Order was Carol, mother of Hypatia Agnesi.

At the same time, the Count of Elwynn, Ric Lyon, began works on developing the culture of the lands between the Rivers.

However, Arminy seceded from Shireroth, and along went Hurmu with Arminy to go different ways from the rest of Shireroth.
