History
In the pre-history of the world, the Age Before Ages, the Wind Dukes' empire spanned all of the elemental planes and many worlds of the Prime Material. Eventually, they became a major player in a great war, representing the forces of Law against a powerful entity known as the Queen of Chaos. Seven of their number, known as the "Wandering Dukes," created a powerful artifact known as the Rod of Law, which was used in the Battle of Pesh to slay the Queen of Chaos's greatest general, Miska the Wolf-Spider. The rod was sundered in the battle, fragmenting to form the Rod of Seven Parts.

The following Wind Dukes are known by name:
- Icosiol, one of the seven "Wandering Dukes." Wind Duke general slain by Miska the Wolf Spider at the Battle of Pesh.
