Mishler's Northern Marches: Humans of the Northlands

[aldarron]

Heya James, I've been reading through your stuff again I'd be interested to know the origin of some of the names - I think they are all provinces of the Great Kingdom - here I don't immediately recognize. What I mean is, is the name listed below just something that you invented, or does it come from some source of some sort, like REH or Greyhawk or what have you. Here is the list:


the principalities of Rizzo and Relaco of the Great Kingdom
the Earldom of Alden,
the Duchy of Darien,
the Duchy of Delavan,
the Earldom of Elkhorn,
the Kingdom of Koth
Grand Duchy of Tarantia,
the Royal Province of the Tauran,
the County of Zenda.
