The Duchy of the Setting Sun, located in the Kingdom of Pacifica, is currently in the midst of a cold war between the two opposing courts. Setting Sun is comprised of four Counties: Ember Skies, Reflective Dawn, Lion's Reach, and Emerald Dale. Within the current County of Lion's Reach is the Rhapsody freehold which has been declared a neutral zone where any Fae, seelie or unseelie, can congregate and be safe. The Freehold is guarded by County hired guards who also patrol the nearby Lost in Time Market, as well a Bygone Guardian Drake that has claimed it as home, though stays hidden during most times.

All these territories follow the Escheat. Nobles within their private freeholds/territory may have varying rules. Currently there is a semi-truce between the courts, and the Duchy is shared in as much as no one is overtly stepping upon another's toes. Public appearances of civility are maintained, but that doesn't mean that bad things aren't happening behind the scenes.
