	Sir William de Mulberry is magical advisor to her Radiance Dulciena de [[Bowcourt]] and perhaps the greatest living magical theorist in Western Alusia. He is not a mage himself, apparently having insufficient magical aptitude to learn any college... including Namer. His magical designs include the permanent portal that operates between the [[Elven Isles]] and [[New Destiny]]. He is pleasant and happy with a child-like fascination for any new things, speaks multiple languages and is used to navigating the corridors of power (having no doubt designed a number of devices to assist with this). Physically he appears to be in his late 50's, small and unassuming, with a round, cheerful face and thinning mousy hair.

==Overview==
Fertile, but otherwise fairly dull Barony with some notable wine growing lands. Officially named '''MÃ»re''', (being its name in Lalange), but commonly known as Mulberry to both neighbours and residents.

==Places of Interest==
Almost none

==People==
The most interesting features of the Barony are probably Baron Henri de Mulberry (or "de MÃ»re") and his (younger) twin brother Sir William de Mulberry.

Sir William de Mulberry is magical advisor to her Radiance Dulciena de [[Bowcourt]] and perhaps the greatest living magical theorist in Western Alusia. He is not a mage himself, apparently having insufficient magical aptitude to learn any college... including Namer. His magical designs include the permanent portal that operates between the [[Elven Isles]] and [[New Destiny]]. He is pleasant and happy with a child-like fascination for any new things, speaks multiple languages and is used to navigating the corridors of power (having no doubt designed a number of devices to assist with this). Physically he appears to be in his late 50's, small and unassuming, with a round, cheerful face and thinning mousy hair.

Baron Henri is a Shaper of considerable ability, taking his brother's designs and making them real. He is quiet and introverted, though pleasant enough to talk to, speaks only a little Common (preferring his native [[Lalange]]), and avoids visitors. When not shaping he can often be found tending his prized roses. Physically he is the spitting image of his twin.

===Literacy in Mulberry===
Both of the de MÃ»res have an atypical belief in the value of education and have invested considerable time and money into the spread of literacy within the Barony. As many as 1 in 5 people within the Barony are fully literate; a remarkable number when compared to western Alusian norms.
