Titra is a small island Duchy in the Icy Sea a few miles of the coast of the Truil Wastes. It's traditionally been a Mud Duchy. No one's really felt the need to claim it for themselves, though the Empire had a garrison there for a few short months in its heyday. It's had to fight off attempts by the Ob-Lobs to seize it, but the soldiers have proven up to the task.
Duke Ord Gunn lives in Metrolia Castle high on the hills above the torchlit port town of Titra. He trains his small number of troops incessantly and parades them around the island so the Ob-Lobs who frequent the port don't get any more ideas of seizing the (surprisingly fertile) fields or the (zealously guarded) mines.
The mines are the island's main source of trade as they're one of the only places outside the Truil Wastes you can find moonstone. It's often an easier sort of trade for those who don't want to invest in the major infrastructure to defend a full on moonstone mine in the Wastes. The island tends not to trade for grain, but wood is always in demand.
Titra gets no more more sunlight than the Wastes, but the moon seems slightly more intense. Possibly from all the reflections off the water. On a clear day one can see the sunline to the north-northeast.
