History
[edit | edit source]Leukish began around 200 CY as a trading post between Furyondy and Nyrond.[1] With the establishment of the Shore Watch castle in Nesserhead in 237 CY, the capital of the Duchy moved from Seltaren to the Leukish, leaving the former to degenerate into a swarm of old politics and run-down buildings[2]
Geography and climate
[edit | edit source]It's surrounded on three side by flat grassland and Nyr Dyv on the north side.

Military
[edit | edit source]Leukish Castle is a medium sized fortress representing one of the largest forces on the Nyr Dyv, second only to Admundfort in the shield lands. The castle has enough supplies to last for a year long siege if necessary. The castle houses more than two thousand soldiers at any given time and nearly fifteen hundred are aboard warships patrolling the southeast quarter of the Nyr Dyv. All soldiers are trained as light infantry and marines, while many are also archers and artillerists.[1]
The docks can support up to 20 warships complete with a large repair facility.
In Living Greyhawk
[edit | edit source] | This section contains content from the Living Greyhawk organized-play campaign. |
To learn more about Leukish in the Living Greyhawk campaign (2000-2008), see also: LG:Leukish.
Because Leukish is the capital of the Duchy of Urnst, which was a major region in Living Greyhawk, it had many adventures which were set in or involved the city, and it was developed extensively.
