Of the names above, the only one I recognize is Walworth. Walworth is most likely a Duchy in Thonia or other southern lands. The Earl of Walworth was the persona of Gary Gygax in the Castles & Crusades Society...

Interesting! Sounds like a province name to me too.

Yep. Well actually, it is a province in Wisconsin. Still, might make sense to make it a province in Thonia, or an independent Duchy to the south of the Empire.

Stone Brook (obvious, could be written as Stonebrook?)
Dins + bury - Downs? fort/castle
Fen + stein - swamp rock

Food for thought.

Interesting analysis!

Well, perhaps there are ten Satraps in an oligarchy; hence the "duchy of ten". Your mention of Alexander reminds me of the Kipling storey "The Man who would be King" Prolly no connection though.

Duchy of Ten was indeed named after Ten nobles. Some later references describes it as the Duchy of Ten Heroes, but I think that might be a ZG invention. Not really sure though.
