The Duchy of Suretmarch was a region of southeast Tethyr[2] bordering Calimshan.[4]
Geography[]
This duchy contained a large portion of the Forest of Mir in its southern portions. It was bordered by the Omlarandin Mountains in the east and the River Ith in the north. It neighbored County Monteshi of Ankaram to the west. The Ithal Road passed through the duchy.[4]
Suretmarch contained three counties: Alonmarch, Surkazar, and Mirkazar.[4]
Government[]
In 1370 DR, the Lord Just Chancellor, Duke Tardeth Llanistaph, former hero of the Company of Eight, controlled Suretmarch officially from his ducal seat at Veaddakar, but that manor was under reconstruction during that year, so the duke spent most of his time at Faerntarn or in Saradush.[2]
