Campaigning within The Duchy of Ulek can lead to multiple types of adventures, including combative, financial, investigative, or discovery. This area allows for adventuring opportunities in a realm based in a Demi-human culture; in this case, High Elves of the Flanaess. The lands of the Duchy will remain fairly stable not withstanding timeframe of your Campaign (pre-Greyhawk Wars, post-Greyhawk Wars, and alternate timelines). In addition, the realm borders long standing lands such as Keoland, Gran March and the County of Ulek; so trade routes along the Sheldomar River and mountain passes through the Lortmil Mountains to Celene and the Kron Hills will hold importance. There is plenty of room for story development as your adventuring continues into a full-fledged Campaign setting.
