Clift, Dothan

Clift was the capital of Dothan Province. Shortly before the start of the Detinan Civil War, Geoffrey had himself crowned in Clift, as king of a northern realm separate from Detina. Clift briefly served as Geoffrey's de facto capital before he moved his so-called royal court to Nonesuch in Parthenia Province. At the end of the Civil War, loyalist forces overran Clift along with the rest of Dothan generally.

Literary comment
Clift is based on Montgomery, Alabama, with the punning name referring to film actor Montgomery Clift (1920-1966).
