Verbobonc
From AJS.COM
The Viscounty of Verbobonc is one of the largest cities of the Flanaess, and a trading port which connects the Free City of Greyhawk to the east, Furyondy to the north, Veluna to the west and the Dutchy of Ulek to the south. There is also a heavy black-market trade that moves goods too and from the Pomarj to the south and the captured lands controled by the Empire of Iuz to the north-east.
The city is dominated by its tremendous diversity of temples of worship (though mostly good), and this affects much of the life in the city. It is also bisected by the Velverdyva river, which runs from Stalmaer and then on to the Nyr Dyv to the east and then west and north all the way to Lake Quag.

Government
Viscount Langard is the current ruler of Verbobonc, though there are many other nobles, merchants, and other important figures in the city.
According to the Living Greyhawk Verbobonc Triad:
- The Viscounty of Verbobonc is a near-independent province of the Archclericy of Veluna, ruled in palatine by a powerful viscount. The town of Verbobonc itself is the second largest port on the Velverdyva, bringing much wealth to the local lords. The writ of the viscounty extends some fifteen miles into the Kron Hills to the south, though the current gnome troubles ensure that the viscount holds little true power there. ... His Noble Lordship, the Viscount Langard of Verbobonc, Defender of the Faith ... is a young half-elf who came to his position ... in 588, upon the death of his half-brother Fenward.'
