Kingdom of Nordterra

The "Kingdom of the Strong", a cold, inhospitable realm, home of the fiercest warriors of Aegeron,

History
Nordterra has been ruled by the Magnusson dynasty for almost 800 years now, they were left in charge even after joining the Imperium. The Magnussons claim it is because of the nobility of their blood, they can trace back their ancestry to the first emperors of the Imperium.

Nordterra is currently ruled by King Bodvar II and enjoys nominally peaceful relations with its neighbors (Nordterra is one of the few realms not aligned with any of the great factions of Aegeron). Still, clans on the border sometimes decide to carry out smaller raids into neighboring territories, which usually go without serious repercussions as most of Nordterra's neighbors are willing to put up with the occasional raids so that they don't upset their fearsome neighbor.

Life
The Kingdom of Nordterra is a harsh realm with similarly strong, hearty people. Except for a few valleys the climate is too cold for agriculture so the kingdom relies heavily on fishing and grain imports from the Kingdom of Groteron. Most of the locals are expert hunters and strong warriors, they are among the most sought-after mercenaries and adventurers.

The people of Nordterra live in very different conditions. The city folk of Rockbell and other settlements enjoy a life similar to urban areas of the Old Continent, while small villages along the coast mostly sustain themselves from fishing. The people living near the mountains are often organized into clans and tribes who sustain themselves by hunting and occasionally raiding their neighbors.
