Olau (pronounced oh-LAU, like the "low" in "allow") is a barony in the northern Coastal Hills of Tortall. It is situated near the Great Road North, south of Trebond and north of Port Caynn, not far away from the port.

History[]

Until the early 3rd century HE, silver was mined in Olau and the surrounding Coastal Hills. The mines were abandoned around the 210s HE, but in 247 a new silver vein was found in an abandoned mine. Hansevor Remy, who was born and raised in a small town in Olau, supplied Pearl Skinner with the silver. She used this silver to produce enormous amounts of counterfeit coins, greatly damaging Tortall's economy.[1]

Members[]

Myles of Olau was baron of Olau by 430 HE. Having no children, he adopted Alanna of Trebond as his heir in 438 HE.[2] Around 439 HE, he married Eleni Cooper.

Alanna's oldest son, Thom of Pirate's Swoop, will inherit Olau as well as Pirate's Swoop.[3]
