TERRAIN:

The riches of this AREA are great indeed, consisting of
most sorts of precious metals, precious stones, and
even the prized corundum gems. Because of this the
Duchy has been desired by the kingdoms of Aerdy
&& Nyrond in that order. When the Nyrondel won
their independence, they took the County Urnst, and
were massing troops to cross the Nesser, but the first
crossings were turned back by galleys, and the campaign
sputtered later in the year, never to be restarted.
Urnst has plenty of other problems of a continuing
nature -- its Cairn Hills border with Greyhawk, the
Abbor-Alz frontier which has desert nomad raiders,
and difficulties with the lakemen of the Nyr Dyv (q.v.).
The Duke is not idle during all of this: he has
developed an excellent army of borderers while maintaining
a centrally located force of cavalry, as he still
distrusts Nyrond.
