Baumeister Knight Territory

Baumeister Knight Territory is the territory run by the Baumeister Family and Wendelin von Benno Baumeister birthplace

History
The Baumeister Knight Territory was founded by the Baumeister Ancestor who took 10 people with him and created the 1st village in the southern part of the Helmut Kingdom. Once the Kingdom found out that they had established a village in the southern part of the kingdom it awarded a knight peerage to the Baumeister's. The inhabitants have always been farmers with no desire to advance or change their lifestyle including the Baumeister's. The Kingdom has always wanted to have the southern territory developed, but their has never been a Baumeister who had the drive nor intelligence to do this till Wendelin von Benno Baumeister appeared. The kingdom wanted Wend to take over and develop the savage lands and help the kingdom's economy grow, but they couldn't order Artur von Benno Baumeister to make Wend the next heir, so they planned for Kurt von Benno Baumeister to do something stupid so they could force Artur to change the heir's. After Kurt's attempted assassination of Wend, Hermann Baumeister was made the heir and the Savage lands was given to Wend to start his Earldom ( later Margrave ). It has been ruled by four generations of Baumeister's. Due to Wend building cities and villages in his Earldom, the Baumeister territory has finally started to grow and and prosper. This is especially true once the tunnel through the mountains was discovered by Wend and Arnest Blitz.

The founding ancestor was awarded a Knight peerage and after Hermann took over, King Helmut raised the peerage to Baronet.

Pioneer Village
They are descended from families who immigrated after the area was established. In the Novel most of the people mentioned that trade with Wend are from this Village. They do not care for the Artur, Kurt or the Head Village. They support Wend becoming the next feudal lord.

Third unnamed village

History of Baumeister Men
No Baumeister man is known for exceptional talent. The founder of this territory, who migrated here with a group of impoverished people from the capital, is said to have been a quick-witted man, and it can be said that no truly incompetent or foolish family head has followed after him, but it is equally true that the family has failed to produce an outstanding talent in monster subjugation, war or domestic affairs.
