The '''Kingdom of Argonne''' | The '''Kingdom of Argonne''' was a miniature Kingdom that was established in 2019 as the '''Prince-Abbacy of Inselwald'''.

Despite strong activity after launching, the Chapter of the Grand Hunt's discussions quickly fell to mostly input from the Prince-Abbot, with the Count von Weltenburg being the only significant contributing member. On new year's day of 2020, Prince-Abbot James announced von Weltenburg as a Marshall of Inselwald for his efforts, ahead of the project's overhaul. It was soon after announced that Inselwald would be reimagined as part of a new project; the Kingdom of Argonne. As part of this change, the Prince-Abbacy of Inselwald would be renamed the Principality of Frontenac, to fall under Argonne. The Chapter of the Grand Hunt would be disbanded, with its forum preserved as the location of the Principality's Parliament of Champlain.
