Introduction

Behold Modan Lach! The Land of Fences and Gates! The Land of Giant Sea Serpents! The Land of the Freemen of the seas! Jan Wolvin I, 1st Count of Modan Lach

Modan-Lach is perhaps most famed for containing the capital of Brookshire, Brookshire Hamlet. A subdivision of Brookshire, Modan-Lach is located in Southern Benacia, bordering the counties of Alexandretta, Lywind, Crestfall Downs, and the Holy Lands of Shireroth (Naudia'Diva). Consisting of mainly low-lying coastal land with flat topped hills in the South, the County contains an archipelago of islands and peninsula jutting into the Khaz Modan Gulf and Shire Sea. Thus, is is a nautical county with a large overseas trade business and shipbuilding industry. Traditionally the county has been divided by its natives into Upper Lach and Lower Lach. Though both Laqi regions of the county, Upper Lach is the more remote and mountainous area and much less industrialised.

History

Modan-Lach as a county remained long dormant and relatively undeveloped until its first count, Jan Wolvin I, moved in and became the first Count of Modan-Lach in late August 2006, quickly stating that he wished to implement a culture similar to that of Frank Herbert's Dune books. Wolvin then attempted to initiate a Theocracy in the Raynor Islands, part of the County, but was stopped in his tracks by Greg Russell, who declared him an Anti-Cedrist heretic. The rest of Wolvin's reign was relatively uneventful, and he became inactive as count around February 2007. In November 2007, Maksym Hadjimehmetov was proclaimed 2nd Count of Modan-Lach, a position he still holds at present.
