[QUOTE="haakon1, post: 3213653, member: 25619"] Nod, good choice. My Sterich never got conquered, because my campaign world is the same old one from the 1980s, when the PCs beat Against the Giants megamodule, preventing the fall of Sterich and Geoff. But whether you buy the From the Ashes changes or not, Sterich fits fine. BTW, some other weird Sterich region ideas from my campaign, that might be fun for you: - Cryllor in the Good Hills is a university town. Greyhawk's medieval Oxford. Keoland and the whole Sheldomar Valley speak Common -- the language of the Great Kingdom -- because the university and the royal authorities pushed it on the nobility, who pushed it on the merchants, while the peasants mostly still speak Keoish. A bit like Tsarist Russia's upper classes using French while the peasants spoke Russian and local languages. - Hochoch at the edge of the Dim Forest is a castle town owned by the Knights of the Watch. Not exactly a free city, but not owned by any principality. - Sterich, Geoff, and Gran March still owe fealty to the Keoish crown, and stick to it in wartime, even though in peacetime they are entirely independent. Think of the relationship between the UK and Canada/Australia circa World War I. - Gran March is run by an order of knights called the Brotherhood of the Sword (modelled on the Livonian Brotherhood of the Sword and Teutonic Order in the northern crusades, by the Germans against the Baltic peoples). It's run as an armed camp, and very loyal to the king down in Niole Dra. The peasants are not terribly pleased. [/QUOTE]
