Vicovaro (Duchy)

The Duchy of **Vicovaro** is one of the southernmost vassal states in the Nilfgaardian Empire.

It borders what is considered to be the core region of the Empire. It shares borders with Gemmera to its north as well as the duchies of Ymlac to the West with the lands of Rowan and Daerlan to the East.

It was an independent state until the second half of the 12th century when although they were able to fight off Emperor Torres' armies they decided to willingly join Nilfgaard which granted them favorable status among the Empire.

## Worldbuilding

### The Ten Monster Plagues of Vicovaro (1010)

At one time Vicovaro had no witcher presence, there existed ten plagues of monsters that threatened the land:

1. A set of three allied Endrega hives,
2. a group of 50 Dracolizards,
3. a horde of Necrophages,
4. a large pack of Hounds of the Wild Hunt,
5. following the massacre of the Aen Seidhe a massive outbreak of Archespores,
6. from the nearby mountains flocks of Harpies descended
7. a pack numbering 50 Werewolves was assaulting villages
8. a clan of Hill giants
9. a horde of specters produced by a practicing necromancer
10. a cabal of 50 lower class vampires

Following the handling of these plagues the School of the Fox was founded at Burov Mylne.

### The School of the Fox donates large sums of money to improve the Duchy (1310-1350 AR)

Through Court mage **Eishe of Vicovaro**, School of the Fox Grandmaster Adalwulf of Aedirn invests large amounts of coin into various services throughout the duchy, such as roads and aqueducts allowing for prosperity to develop around the duchy, working with the spies of the Empire, the witchers of the School of the Fox are given commissions to investigate and assassinate those guilty of embezzlement, insuring those dirty politics have no place within the duchy.
