The Duchy of Orberend is a province of the Kingdom of Nyrond.
Description
Prior to the Greyhawk Wars Duke Arnon Orberend held Hendrenn Halgood as his ducal seat, which covered about 30 miles around the city.[1]
The lands between the Franz River and Duntide River are a fertile area of Nyrond, with much grain-growing and cloth-weaving in rural areas.[1]
King Lynwerd as part of his reforms of Nyrond reorganized provincial administration which commenced Needfest 1, 591 CY. The existing Ducby was made one of the provinces, with the provincial capital at Hendrenn Halgood.[2] The Duchy expanded the lands of the previous Duke.
