The Duchy of Tyrone is part of the Kingdom of Ulster.
Overview[]
Tyrone, a fief in the heart of Ulster, contains the Sperrin Mountains, where recent discoveries of large gold deposits have sparked dreams of prosperity. Known for its music and talented poets and writers, it is ruled by Duke Jon Montrose from his court at the Beaghmore Stone Circles outside Cookstown. Montrose also keeps a manor house in town.
The Cap of Fading[]
Always one to look for advantages in battle, Montrose eagerly accepted the tainted treasure offered hm by King Finn, the Cap of Fading. It is a bright green cap that when donned makes the wearer fade from view (over the period of about a minute) until they are invisible. Once the cap is removed, the wearer slowly fades back into view. The drawback is that after the cap has been used three times, each time it is donned by the same person, they fade a little more. They become a little less solid and real around the edges, a fact which may not be apparent to the user themself. If they continue using the cap, they become transparent, like a ghostly apparition, and can no longer leave their fae mien, dooming them to Bedlam. Montrose has used the cap several times and is on the edge of becoming transparent for good. He is loathe to give up his treasure, despite the harm it is causing, and may demand another treasure in its place if someone tries to take it from him.
