Soth-Kabree was founded after the Light of Rad, to balance the power between humans and elves. However, the Erewan lost control of this fief in the following years, as a consequence of the Civil War. It was only with thelast Countess that the fief came back into Erewan hands.

Notable sites:  The Griffon Stables in Ur-Kabree rival those in the Great School of Magic. Actually, Countess Aliana Nyraviel employs the best trainers available, and even the School is sometimes forced to send their griffons to Soth-Kabree for training.
  At Amon Corn,the elves show the mound where the First Count and his men lay. They where killed while defending the village by troops from Alexius Glantri's army, who were trying to reach the Darokin border.
