The Western Abbor-Alz March, in the eastern portion of the Abbor-Alz in the southwest of the Duchy of Urnst, is one of four marches on the outer edges of the duchy.
Description
[edit | edit source]Populated by some of the most honorable people in the entire Duchy, the western Abbor-Alz march is also one of the poorest and physically dangerous regions. Local barons live a simple life, free from much of the struggle that permeates the rest of the land. However, less settled, desert dervishes and humanoids run largely unchecked through the hills. The Abbor-Alz joins with the Cairn Hills form a natural border between the Duchy and Greyhawk and a barrier against the Bright Desert.
