In the unlikely circumstance that you do consider other offers, please accept one from Perth, under King Scrios, and as part of my Duchy of Carrickshire.
Recently we've had some new Serf join us in Perth, and we're hoping to see continued growth of our population. We also have a few extreme hills biomes, as I saw you are partial to them.
Here is a map of Hermertia if you've not already seen one:

and here is a close up of Perth:

It's an older map, it doesn't show Carrickshire yet, but here I've outlined Carrickshire on a biome map:

The red area in the south is Carrickshire, and the orange circle is Tremaine, my main city. The other serfs seem to be settling further north, but there is plenty of space for everyone.
If you're interested, here are a couple of snaps of Tremaine's castle and the city itself (Sorry I don't have shaders myself):



and if you'd like to see more of the work done in Perth, here is an album we put together using snaps from one of our players who does have shaders:

So yeah, regardless of where you choose, I wish you good luck and also, watch out for Liserett.
