The Golden Marches was a border duchy in the northeastern highlands of Tethyr. The region was also known as the Upper Highlands.[2]

Geography[]

This duchy was located north of the River Ith, west of the Snowflake and Omlarandin Mountains, south of Amn, and east of the Spellshire and Varyth Counties of the Crown Lands. It contained the counties Valashar, Morninggold, and Hazamarch.[4]

Government[]

This duchy was under the authority of Lord Royal Chancellor Alaric Hembreon. His official castle was Shelshyr House in County Valashar, but he lived in Darromar at his family's Hembreon House.[2]
