The Duchy of the Artonsamay is one of the Bandit Kingdoms.

History

[edit | edit source]

Artonsamay is ruled by the Gellor dynasty, the house ruling the County of Urnst, until Iuz's conquest of the Bandit Kingdoms in 583 CY.

Geography

[edit | edit source]

The Duchy of the Artonsamay sits along the banks of the river of the same name, east of the Rift Canyon. The Bandit Kingdoms surrounding it are Reyhu and the Plar of the Rift to the west, and Dimre and Stoink to the east.

People

[edit | edit source]

Artonsamay once boasted a population that was less cutthroat and villainous than their neighbors, at least comparatively. In the aftermath of the Greyhawk Wars, the duchy is largely abandoned wilderness, ruled from Stoink.

Languages

[edit | edit source]

As with many of the other Bandit Kingdoms, Common and Orcish are spoken here.

Rumors and legends

[edit | edit source]

In 591 CY, the missing Duke Gellor is presumed dead, though rumors abound that Halga of the Greater Boneheart has visited the duchy in search of him.
