Menendras is a duchy in the realm of Obrith. It began as the dwarven realm of MENENDAR, founded in 946 BGC. It was conquered in the First Great War and ceded to the Kingdom of the Sword; it would remain a key province of that realm, and indeed is a keystone of its successor, Obrith, to this day.

The current lord of Menendras is Gjor Mennos, High Lord of the Gates.
