[DrBezendrine]

Kingdom Name: Sárrverǫld

Kingdom Banner/Flag


Ruler: Athenna Norton

Location: Far above the rest of the world, Sárrverǫld resides surrounded by mountains of the land. The area is rocky and mostly snowy, but they have enough land to farm for the entire kingdom as well as hunt. The opening is facing directly south as this kingdom is often referred to as 'The Top of the World' since it sits at the top of Umar. The area is well protected, with what the weather will force unaccustomed soldiers to face and the terrain, but once past the mountains, the rest of the kingdom lies there. A huge country side as well as rather large cities. Perhaps the smallest of all the kingdoms, their army is a force to be dealt with through and through. Do not let your guard down.

Land Mass: (Show me how big your kingdom is)

Rules/Laws of Sárrverǫld:
There are many rules and laws within the kingdom, however here are the most important ones that cover the rest.

1. If you murder, you will be executed the following day at noon.
2. If you steal/assault, your hands may be reclaimed by the executioner(s) and will not be treated until the following day. Imprisonment follows.
3. If you threaten/lie/joke to a member of the military or government about a serious matter, your tongue may be claimed by the executioner(s) and be left untreated. Imprisonment may follow.
4. You may be pardoned by any member of the government of all crimes after approval from their higher ups.
5. Sleeping with another man's wife or forcing sexual acts will result in castration and imprisonment immediately. If consented by said wife, they may lose specific rights.
6. All citizens are guaranteed their natural born rights and may practice/worship/speak/protest as they please.
7. Taxes must never be more than a week late, otherwise the executioner(s) may reclaim what they think is fair trade without warning.
8. Men must be at least 16 to join the armed forces, women must be at least 18.
9. Public indecency will result in an overnight stay or more in prison.
10. This government is a council ran government. Athenna is the final say, while the council is in charge of certain tasks.
11. Everyone is equal. Segregation of any kind will result in public humiliation.

History:
Before the war, the rebellion, even before Athenna was born, Sárrverǫld was at war with itself and the rest of the world as a warring nation. It was almost non-stop as the mountains were tainted with the blood of friends and foes alike. The current King wanted the Earthen Throne for himself and many of his followers rejected the idea. If they were tucked away in the cusp of the top of the world, why would he put them all at a greater risk? Surely he realized that would leave Sárrverǫld without order? Organization? The King didn't care and began imprisoning the 'freely spoken' citizens. Effectively killing them off and just making matters worse on the kingdom. Again, the King shrugged it off, pressing on to prepare for whenever the next war was. His downfall... Was the birth of his daughter.

More and more people began to go silent. They stopped talking about the King, how he was ruining the nation, how his ways killed more people than any previous war. His daughter was born a year after the last war, the nation having surrendered for there was no where near enough fighters to even contend, thanks to her father. This threw the King into a fit of rage, now forcing criminals to be the army they needed, preparing and rebuilding as fast as they could. All the King could care about was the throne and not his family. There just wasn't enough time. So... His daughter forced her way out of the keep and into a random family tucked away in the middle of the country side. This is the moment a movement was pushed forward, a movement that would change the nation for good.

And it did.

20 years later, the daughter returned with an actual army. A force worth noting as she pushed the keep, losing a fraction on both sides, and straight to her father's throne, drawing a sword then and there.

"My sword against yours... Victor takes all, father, this Kingdom against my life, these men. Everything to my name versus all that you know. Not another soldier, civilian, no one else needs to die today, and I hope you're willing to accept that. If not, I will not hesitate." The daughter kept her sword level as the King nodded in fury, drawing his in turn.

The fight was not even close to one-sided, in fact they each received the same amount of wounds, the same amount of slashes and eventually, the King fell. The King of Sárrverǫld has perished to his own daughter after 20 years. The daughter wasn't looking too good either, but she lived. And from then on, the people chose their crown. The King's War was something small in the future, and Athenna did not want to go through with that for the sake of her new Kingdom. But... Perhaps if someone needed an ally, she could get help repairing what was lost faster.

Flora: Roses, Sunflowers, Mini Carnations, Gerbera Daisies, Snapdragons, Hibiscus, Cyclamen and Mums for flowers. Sarmantic Mixed Forests.

Fauna: Foxes, Beavers, Moose, Bears, Wolfs, Wolverines, Hugh Jackman, Lynx, and wild Boar.

Common Races/Species: Nordic Humans mainly, but also mixed in a lower percentage (~10%)

Faith: Bjot-Swyel (Gods and shit with various temples across the land. More to come on this one later...)

Military: The military here is most of the population as the kingdom is rather new and fresh out of a rebellion that overthrew the previous government. This military is rather unprofessional trained, however will fight to the last man to keep their land for the one's they love. Mixed of men and women alike, their battle tactics are creative and most of the time, unexpected. They rely on surprising the enemy for now... That is, until they get proper training.

Culture: The men and women of Sárrverǫld are heavily militaristic and nationalistic. They will accept newcomers, but these people must be willing to sacrifice in order to be a citizen. They must wield a sword for the land they plow or they won't fit in. They aren't barbarians by any means and the rest of Umar recognizes that, but they've been living on edge for so long, perhaps some help may be in order, however the King's War is back on the table... Could they really be an ally? An unstable nation just barely beginning to work as a normal rank?

  The Kingdom of Vostavja
  
  Ruler: King Slobieslaw Rabinov
  
  Location: Vostavja is located in the Eastern Steppes, spanning across the tundra to the north, and the grasslands to the west. The geography of Vostavja is predominantly flat, however, the grasslands are relatively varying in elevations. The three of Vostavja's most notable rivers flow from this region, through all of their holdings.
  
  Land Mass: About the size of modern Mongolia? I don't really know without a map.
  
  Rules/Laws: These are at the discretion of the nobles, and are varying from province to province.
  
  History: Founded by Jaroslav Rabinov, little over a century ago, the Kingdom of Vostavja is relatively young in comparison to many of those that surround them. A small house with a smaller army, Jaroslav expanded the kingdom outwards, to span several cities before his death. Bogdanov would spend his short life pushing the kingdom's lands further than his father had, at an unprecedented rate. He managed to retain control by subjugating local nobles rather than replacing the rulers. Through this, Bogdanov would set the stage for a relatively disloyal, and contentious royal court, filled with plotting, and less than pleasant outcomes. After Bogdanov's death, Slobieslaw took over, and continued driving the wheels of war onward.
  Flora:
  Low-lying shrubs, rosebushes in the grasslands. Heavy forests on the southern edges of the tundra
  Fauna:
  Bears, horses, rabbits, small insects, weasels, badgers
  Common Races/Species:
  Predominantly human, small minority populations near the edges and in the grasslands.
  Faith: Secular state
  ​
• 
  Military:
  
  
  The Vostavjan military primarily consists of peasant levies, and the Bogdanov Cavalry Company, named for Bogdan Rabinov. The peasant levies are given some training, and provided minimal armor and a spear, and are dismissed when a campaign in concluded. The numbers of peasents raised is entirely dependent on how many nobles who are called to war decide to call to arms, and supply. The Bogdanov Cavalry on the other hand are a standing army, numbers in the 1200's at any given time. Well maintained and well trained, the horsemen report directly to Slobieslaw. Vostavjan armies range from a few hundred, to the tens of thousands depending on the campaign, or whatever need may arise. During peacetime, the cavalry is used as a garrison force in the central holdings, and an emergency auxiliary force, should any riots or rebellions prove particularly difficult to take care of.
  Culture:
  Vostavjan culture is essentially the same across the two social classes that exist. Lie, cheat, and steal. With too little wealth and too many people, almost anything goes. With too few soldiers to enforce laws most provinces, most cities are the only safe havens, and there locals are extorted by the nobles.

Scheherazade is known for its heat which not many can bear to be around but also for it windy and breathtaking feeling.

History: Scheherazade has been standing for eons it's been ruled and stolen by man ruled by 163 families all whom have either died of old age or were overthrown. Once the irony that was the king was imprisoned the queen wanted to better er nation. To fix his wrongdoings in front of the old man who almost destroyed an entire nation that had been standing longer than any. Yet once she took the crown she had obstacles running right at her and it was hard to get through them when everyone seemed against her. And soon the enemies began attacking but not with swords. The councilman began pressuring the queen to get married yet she knew oh too well what will befall her if she did.

"A man rules his wife even if his wife is a queen. I will not be laid low by any man. I will not be ruled by anyone. And so long as I live I shall be the queen."

The war certainly hit them hard but it was necessary the war had created something much more; a bond between the people and the queen. They respected and feared her and she the same feared their betrayal their revolution like they've done too many. They were a family, 1.4 billion strong. The war caused the queen to open up and the people to lose their loved ones and fortune for a brief moment only to come back. Jolene doesn't regret her decision to enter the war.

Military: Scheherazade's The military has become much more strained and hard to get into especially for the woman some would think that they don't except women because in the whole army there is only one woman who managed to pass the exam.

The Kingdom used to have a strong military force but once Jolene took the ropes she wanted it to be more than strong.
