The Barony of Highfolk is the middle barony of the central Eastern Reaches valley. Highfolk was the first minor kingdom to be established in the Western Empire under the rule of Grim. After several decades of benign leadership, the Throne became ambitious and embarked upon a policy of conquest. At the peak of this imperialism, Highfolk held sway over Middlefield and South Province. King Tavish was slain in battle against some bandits from the Sands of Time, and his son, Tavish II, immediately changed the policies of the kingdom upon ascending the throne. After protracted negotiations, Middlefield and South Province were granted autonomy and Highfolk returned to its former state of tolerance and prosperity.

Located between the March of Greenvale and the Dutchy of Middlefield, Highfolk now enjoys a relatively peaceful existence. Its produce is sold at the capital town of Highfolk located on the Lesser Farthing Road midway between Dwarrowdelf and Dragonsford. Highfolk is led by the Third Baron Richard Highfolk. Richard is a young man fascinated with the tales of King Gregory and his knightly orders. Wearing a Ring of Virtue inherited from his grandfather, Richard's well-trained company of knights most recently saw action in the Battle of Dragonsford in 884 TA.
