An administrative division smaller than a County but larger than any one individual estate. Created1 by the Britons to support one hundred men at arms. Similar concepts exist outside of Logres’ cultural sphere under different names, but we’re largely concerned with areas where it is explicitly called a Hundred.
The Map has borders for each Hundred in its borders2, helping you identify administrative boundaries. Each Hundred typically has a Hundred Court that helps manage local disputes, dispense justice within the Hundred3, manage taxes, etc.
Struggles for influence and power aren’t only divided by Hundred lines—borders are porous—but they often are a prize fought after.
