Formed as the part of the Middle Reaches expansion in 621 TA (see [[Barony of Guildford]]), the first Baron of Rockingham was a close friend of the Wyrmslayer, and it was thought that Rockingham was the choice territory of the expansion. With its eastern boundary at the town of Greyheath, Rockingham immediately fell under attack by the large population of hill giants living in the Iron Hills. Attacks from both orc and bandits of the area kept the barony uninhabited for many decades. Eventually, the establishment of Wirksworth to the north, the arrival of an organized army under the leadership of the Lord March of Wirksworth, and the building of Rivershaw Castle lessened the pressure on Rockingham and the eventual establishment of the farms and villages that still dot this vast plain. | Formed as the part of the Middle Reaches expansion in 621 TA (see [[Barony of Guildford]]), the first Baron of Rockingham was a close friend of the Wyrmslayer, and it was thought that Rockingham was the choice territory of the expansion.
