Lichbrook is a duchy in Benacia, corresponding to the former counties of Caverden, Woodshire and north-eastern Crestfall Downs. A relatively new duchy, Lichbrook was founded in 4725 ASC following the dissolution of the ancient Duchy of Brookshire.
Etymology and terminology
The name Lichbrook has its origin in a colloquial term for that part of Brookshire forming the private demesne of the lich, Anthrazita von Rossheim-Maltenstein. Officially known as the Lichnina, the area subsequently evolved into the Principality of Lichshire.
The northernmost two-thirds of the duchy, roughly corresponding to the former counties of Caverden and Woodshire, is known as Overdolor (Upper Dolor).
