The Duchy of Aquitaine

[Ramses II CP]

The Duchy maintains an office in Paris for business outside of Aquitaine, a considerable structure at Toulouse including stables, a boarding house, and a training field, and an estate in the countryside southwest of Toulouse, in the foothills of the Pyrenees. Entering any of these structures a visitor is immediately struck by the fact that well oiled, naked blades hang crossed beneath the coat of arms. A visitor willing to test their edges will find the weapons are not merely ceremonial.

There is no charter or document declaiming the aims of the Duchy, but neither is there any way of avoiding the fact that arms and matters martial dominate the decor and environs of every structure.
