Overview

Geoff was conquered during the Greyhawk Wars by a secretive band of cloud giants known as the Sakhut. Due in large part to the efforts of the Blackrazor Guild, the duchy has been liberated and is now being re-settled. The Blackrazors maintain several baronies in the western reaches of the duchy.

Cities and Towns

Temp List

• Jaran: A small village in southeastern Geoff.

• Hochoch: The new capitol of Geoff and the staging area for the war to retake the fallen Duchy.

• Gorna: The capital of the Duchy of Geoff. Taken by the giants in CY 584, retaken by the forces of Geoff -- augmented by the Steelstorm Guild -- in mid-CY 590.

• The Lea: A town in central Geoff that fell to the giants in CY 584, but was liberated by the Steelstorm Guild in early CY 590.
