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.
