The Province of Haibnelann is an administrative region within [[Faneria]], bordering [[Lyukquar]] and [[Connsmonan]] to the east, [[Vrael]] to the west, the [[Kilikas Sea]] to the north, and [[Gleathan]] and [[Fhainnholdt]] to the south. it is inhabited by roughly eighteen million people and is the largest [[Administrative Divisions of Faneria|Province]] in Faneria by landmass.

The region's terrain, similarly to Lyukquar, is divided between a low-lying belt of grasslands and occasional swamps along the coast and the incredibly wide [[Deamhainn]] mountains, though Haibnelann's borders extend considerably further into the mountain range and its coastal flats are much more constricted. The | The region's terrain, similarly to Lyukquar, is divided between a low-lying belt of grasslands and occasional swamps along the coast and the incredibly wide [[Deamhainn]] mountains, though Haibnelann's borders extend considerably further into the mountain range and its coastal flats are much more constricted. The major watersheds of the province are the Haibne River, the Gheal (White) River, and the Bronn River basins. Of these, the Haibne and Gheal are by far more important, and their riverbanks house most of the province's major settlements. | ||

Raw materials mining, timber cutting, and smaller fishing, manufacturing, and services industries form the majority of the area's economic strength, though the local economy is relatively diverse unlike its sister province Lyukquar. Iron, copper, zinc, tin, and bauxite make up most of the valuable materials mined in the area, but stonecutting for export, as well as peat and a small but growing set of nickel veins make the Haibnelann branch of the Deamhainn ranges particularly valuable to industrial production. This wealth was the original reason for granting such a wide tract to the provincial government to begin with, encouraging development of the area and drawing immigrants from the Vandarch Basin; in previous centuries, the area was more sparsely inhabited and poorly developed. | Raw materials mining, timber cutting, and smaller fishing, manufacturing, and services industries form the majority of the area's economic strength, though the local economy is relatively diverse unlike its sister province Lyukquar.

Haibnelann was created after the 1690-1691 invasion of Reothadt by the Vicariate of Gleathan, supported by the ''Rih'' of Fhainnlannachaeran and troops supplied by the Vicar of Connsmonan. Peace negotiations occurred after the Grand Duke was killed by one of his sons, (name here), who was given rulership of the Vicariate of Haibnelann in the throne's name and spent the next twenty years piecing together the remaining areas of Haibnelann to enforce that legal fiction as a de-facto king in his own right. Haibnelann was a battlefield for most of this time as the continuing war in neighboring [[Lyukquar]] and peasant uprisings and resistant local lords made pacifying the area difficult. During the [[Sutharine Succession Crisis]], he was a staunch supporter of the Suthar-Màrtainn line, converted from a local pagan sect to Catholicism, and ensured his Vicariate was awarded with trade and legal privileges beyond most Vicariates and dubbed a 'subservient state' rather than a formal territory of Faneria. The initial claim from Gleathan's Vicar was sold to (name here) in exchange for parcels of land within the Deamhainn Mountains and a generous grant of land from Vrael following the First Kin War. | Haibnelann was created after the 1690-1691 invasion of Reothadt by the Vicariate of Gleathan, supported by the ''Rih'' of Fhainnlannachaeran and troops supplied by the Vicar of Connsmonan.
