Steelshire is a subdivision (officially categorised as a county) of Ashtonia, with its capital, largest city and namesake being Steelbury.
Etymology
Steelshire's more formal name is Steelburyshire (reflected in its Old English name Stīelebyrġsċīr), obviously after Steelbury, its capital. The shortening to Steelshire is inspired by the etymological evolution of Shropshire's name, having been Sċrobbesbyriġscīr in Old English.
