Welcome to Urnst! Not the Duchy! Come to the County and dwell in peace. There are many reasons DMs and players would venture into our County.
County of Urnst is ideally suited for DMs wanting to set their campaign in an area with a stable, good-aligned government with wild adventure on every border. To the west, the Nyr Drv the lake of unknown depths holds plenty of opportunity for aquatic adventure. The Nesser, Franz and Artonsamay all offer river adventures. Opportunity for urban adventure and political intrigue abound in Radigast City, Trigol and Ventor. The neighboring countries, which include the Duchy of Urnst, Nyrond, Theocracy of the Pale, and The Bandit Kingdoms, give a DM plenty of side quest material.
The County is ruled by a Countess who is rumored to have an extremely comprehensive spy network that keeps her informed of what the neighboring countries are planning. This spy network is allegedly supported by the Rhennee barge folk who assist the Countess in exchange for special considerations.

Postcard: County of Urnst
Claims rolling plains and an extensive road network, inherited from the Great Kingdom, leaves little wilderness to be explored. Following the Greyhawk Wars, it has become a regional breadbasket and banker. Nyrondese; swarm over its borders, seeking better circumstances. Subsequently; the neglected forts on the stone road, have been repaired. Generous loans; extended to Rel Mord, prevents its total collapse. Meanwhile; a squadron of warships on the Nyr Dyv, strives to restrain piratical activities.
Elsewhere; Shield Lands and Tenh, troubles the charitable court. Occasionally; a mysterious vessel will slip into Bright Sentry, laden with foodstuffs. Nowadays; a trickle of supplies is smuggled into Redspan via the Artonsamay, to sustain the liberation campaign against the Iuzites and Stoneholders. Graciously; Countess Belissica, hosts Duke Ehyeh III of Tenh-in-exile, but refuses to be shamed into that morass.
